I thought I'd try to start an actual aiming thread (knowing it will die in just a page, but I'll try it anyway). I wonder, what shots you guys find problematic to AIM specifically. Are these shots only tough for that certain individual, or for everyone. Maybe we can help eachother, or figure out what specific factors are tough, so as to improve methods?
Please diagram the shots, otherwise there will be many misunderstandings. At the moment I'm struggling a bit with certain, high, high angle straight pool breakshots. Don't get me wrong, I don't miss them too much, but I do find them difficult to aim. There is a lot of feel involved when aiming them, at least for me, even if I do know some aiming systems. I feel that the rack of balls makes the edges of the ball harder to make out, and also distracts my aim somewhat. When I do miss them, I tend to undercut them for some reason.
