He sure is a great shot maker. No argument from me that what he does works great for him.
And others. Especially those who use it as their PRIMARY and only system who have practiced and mastered it. ALL systems require practice and mastering.
When he puts the cue in line for a "traditional" 1/2 ball shot, and says there's no way of really knowing it's a 30° shot....well, traditionally, he's correct, because angles are invisible. But this thread is about a NON-traditional method, which provides the luxury of knowing it's a 30° shot.
So what Stan was using is now considered a TRADITIONAL method? The luxury of knowing it's a 30 degree shot depends entirely on the exact placement of the CB in relationship to the OB. A 1/2 inch or more variance makes it something else other than a 30 degree shot. Where is the exact location of the CB supposed to be, also assuming the OB spot is laser measured nuts on where it's supposed to be vertically and horizontally with the table diamonds for a spot shot?
Fact is, I have no idea WHAT this thread is about. It started out as a glowing review by DW which I predicted he would do regardless of what he really thought.
However, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and go along with what has been said by him and everyone else because I feel all aiming systems have something going for them above and beyond nothing, intuition, and feel. All of which are completely unexplainable in words as well as fleeting from one day to the next in pocketing success.
Yet, the author as well as DW and LF all say they'll stick to what they do which is
intuition and feel and only use this when the going gets tough or they can't hit the broad side of a barn, let alone a pocket.
Here are some new names I came up with for the NON-TRADITIONAL METHOD:
The Part Time Aiming System
The Secondary Aiming System
The Spare Tire Aiming System - Not as good as a new Michelin but it'll get you there, hopefully
When Part A Isn't Working, The Part B Aiming Method
When All Else Fails Aiming System
The Last Ditch Aiming System
A GPS Only For When You're Lost Aiming System

The Fourth Choice Aiming Method
Don't Tell Anyone I'm Using This Aiming System
It's Our Little Secret Aiming System
Won't Beat No Aiming System, System
Only Use "If It's Broke" Aiming System
Fractional Aiming If Your Pocketing % is 20% Or Less
When Your Intuitive Direct Line To The Cosmos Keeps Getting A Busy Signal Aiming System
Please chime in with more names for the REPLACEMENT to feel and intuitive methods of aiming which are without a doubt the best as stated by the author and other endorsers.
I think if people are paying $10 for Poolology they'd pay $20 or $30 for Brian's GO TO NORMAL USE AIMING SYSTEM. THAT is the SECRET ONE.
