I've only scanned the thread but maybe what I do will help as I'm not a system type & was never taught or even discussed such things before logging on to AZB.
I started out using ghost ball, but since seeing something that is not there is very difficult if not impossible my aiming evolved into a fractional overlap of equal & opposite sides of the CB & the OB. I do a visual sweep so to speak, I go from the lowest visual of the OB at center line, & then to the shadow spot, & then up to the light reflection in the ball. Once I decide on a vertical line that cuts the OB fractionally I take a visually equal fractional line on the opposite side of the CB and match it up to the line on the OB. Once matched I focus on the lowest part of that line on the lower quardrant arch of the OB. I use the lower quardrant as it is visually closer to that of the top point of the line on the CB & my tip, & I can see the shadow, the verticle fractional line point on the arch of the OB & the light reflection in the OB. So I'm connecting the top point of the verticle line of the CB with the bottom verticle line point of the OB. This takes quite a while to type out & read but the actual process takes only a second or two.
Just my method. Hope it helps.
Best Wishes to All,
