Coos Cues
Sorry, but I still don't understand what a free throw in pool is.
A free throw in basketball is a shot with the least amount of variables involved. It's the same every time you attempt it.
Aiming a half ball hit is like this. Variables are at a minimum. Success at a maximum.
A good free throw shooter in basketball will hit 90% while a good shooter during live action will hit 50% or less. Half ball shots are like free throws in this sense whether you can see the pocket or not or even bother looking. Making what may appear as a tougher shot not so tough.
That was the analogy. I guess you're not a basketball fan?
