This can be useful when you are drawing slowly and need total control.
When you select this mode, a Catch Up checkbox will appear. A higher amount will produce smoother lines, but will also increase brush lag. You will want to adjust the Amount parameter to your preference. This mode smoothes your line by continuously averaging your previous pen positions, which makes it great for curvy lines with rounded corners. The second mode option in the Position Smoothing section is called Moving Average. Note that with this mode, the line ends as soon as you lift your pen. The brush will only move when the string is fully extended, which makes it easy to draw sharp corners. The longer the string, the less sensitive your brush stroke will be to digital jitter and shakiness of your hand. You can control how long the string is via the String Length parameter slider. It makes your brush behave like if it was attached to a piece of string that you can pull around. This mode is great for slow, detailed line work. The first mode option in the Position Smoothing section is called Pulled String.
