Just because the ball is still on the ground doesn't always mean it is a good idea to take a long time to hit a shot, or in this case, to warm up.
A lot like free throw shots.
It is a worthwhile experiement to play more like a 'jump shot'.
See the shot, step in, fire.
Too much time warming up, or too much time for each shot, and you give up the benefits of reacting to a target.
The human mind/body is much better when it can react.
There is, of course, a balance between properly preparing, and rushing. I suspect in the case of Davis Love, he is clearly already 'prepared' - and was able to get into 'reacting to his target'.

if i remember it correctly, correct me if im wrong, it was about playing the movie of the next shot at hand in your head...seems thats why Jack took so much time to prepare over a shot."

Yes - and not just the ball flight, but the entire event.
"see yourself" doing the entire pre-shot, making the swing, holding your finish and watching the result
As a big fan of Jack's motion, I often will see his pattern first, followed by myself doing the same.
Or visualizing Tiger in 2000.... and then myself doing the same motion.
