Another trick that Kim Jung Hoon often talks about in his training vids is a way to suddenly whip the shoulders EARLY before impact to whip the ball cross-court when opponent shows going to cover down the line...
You do it by staying loose, showing you want to hit down the line... when opponent takes a step early or starts leaning, you stay loose in shoulders and with free arm already held up naturally near chest height, pull back with free hand backwards like you are pulling a rip-cord towards you... this will whip your shoulders, get that waist and some shoulder turn into the shot... and make the impact happen sooner - thus making it go cross court.
Benefit is you get another 10% power and spin doing this as you are engaging shoulder turn. You stay loose and do it sudden, often opponent will not see it coming... it is a natural way to adjust where you want to send the ball if opponent shows he/she is opening up that path.
KJH talks and gives a good demo of the concept at 12:05 for a full minute, and at 14:15 and at 18:00... even if it is in Korean, you can see how he demonstrates and isolates...
