Point at them, then wind up: the lane comes from where the thumb lands

The lane used to come from the pull's own direction, so aiming up-court was
always a downward drag. Every shot ended lower than it began, the next touch
starts where the last one ended, and over a horde the thumb walks itself into
the iOS bottom edge — where a pull down is Reachability and the system takes
the gesture out from under you. A web page cannot refuse that.

So touch-down picks the lane now (a ray from his chest through the thumb) and
the pull after it is power and nothing else, in whatever direction there is
room for. Aiming is what drags the thumb UP the screen, because that is where
the shamblers are.

The cost, and the thing to feel: the lane locks when the thumb lands. You can
no longer sweep the aim while drawn.
