A distinct type of contouring - where a joint is used to guide an executed weapon to its intended target. This is an alternative to using the entire length of a weapon as a guide to the target.

Inflected Form(s):

Threading (adjective), Threads (plural), Threaded (past tense)

Comments:

In other words, contact is kept on the joint area of the guiding weapon as the move is executed, instead of the contact point moving along the entire length of the guiding weapon.

Threading can only occur if the joint is at specific angles. Otherwise, its use is not warranted and tracking or guidelining, should be considered as an alternative.
