Sounds like it's either from the Kama Sutra or IKEA assembly instructions (they're pretty much interchangeable).Here is something i seen on this site over a year ago in the aiming section and i saved it. Its mostly meaningless but i thought it was interesting, so carry on.
A inside pivot will have C contact point – inside edge to B – ctel to outside edge of ob
I don't know why it is so hard for a lot of people to understand what you are saying. I just wanted to say thanks for your post. I tried this the other day at the pool room, and this was after playing for 50 years, and I was making long cut shots that I was having trouble with before.
Thanks....
markdrums1 -- does the second diagram in post #61 show what you mean?

Why is it that in this discussion forum it is always the guy who first gets subjected to insults that is blamed for "losing his cool" while the guy who started slinging the insults gets a pass?
If you're aiming at the bottom of the OB that would be a full hit on the OB (like a straight in shot).......the way I see it. On very thin cuts I don't see how one could aim at the bottom of the OB........anything thinner than a 1/2 ball hit for that matter.
I've been playing pool "off & on" for the better part of 30 yrs, went down to the local pool hall today with my trusty old Palmer...I decided to try something I read on AZ a while ago, aiming at the bottom of an object ball, instead of the whole side of the cut....WOW!!! How did I not know this already? I couldn't miss a ball! why is this so much more accurate?
It did seem that Eagle Man was getting slammed first.
When someone responds to insults hurled at them, it is usually they who get penalized rather than the person who initiated the ad hominem attack.
One way the bottom of the ball could be used to help visualize aim points:
Project an overhead view of the cut angle onto the bottom of the object ball.

The projected cut angle intersects the bottom edge of the object ball directly beneath the CB/OB contact point on its equator.

He went on tilt from other threads and ridicule/criticism of his opinions. It takes a lot of different ideas to make up a forum, but the bullies usually get the last word.
Best,

Maybe you can point to where this happened for me.
Freddie <~~~ would never deny slamming anyone
I don't remember you slamming him.
I think so, I am aiming at that point that says 30 degrees instead of contact point....CB still hitting contact point...i'm just aiming @ the bottom part of OB
