Allow your back hand to swing freely, finding the stroke that will
connect the first two dots. Do this four to six times, then let
stillness descend upon all of your self.

I think you can distill all this Zen stuff into one word: RELAX. "You can't
know what you don't know." What I mean by that is there is relaxing, and
then there is relaxing. If you haven't experienced the "proper" amount of
relaxation in a stroke, then it is hard to know that your arm and body
really are relaxed. I think it can be hard to stay loose and hit the ball
firmly, for example, if you haven't worked on doing it.

I like the Zen stuff in theory, but I think you just have to relax and let
the cue do the work.
