The sidewinder stroke.
That's why I thought Greenleaf was Hoppe. Also, several of the really old great players from the past stood tall ( head high ) when shooting. Irving Crane, Joe Balsis, Cowboy Jimmie Moore, and several others, all stood with heads high. I always wondered about that, even tried it with absolutely zero success, couldn't see where I was aiming. Not many used that sidewinder stroke though.
One of the good younger players ( during my days of playing) that used the modified sidewinder stroke was Keith McCready, and to my recollection, he also stood a little taller when shooting.
