Ron V aiming system video and diagrams

FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great example of how to body pivot. This'll be an interesting thread. By the way, Ron isn't saying you can make all shots on the table with 90/90 alignment, just a certain range of shots.

hi cleary. good video. How do you keep your balance when pivoting..Sometimes it feels awkward to shoot after i pivot my whole body.
 
Appreciate your efforts Cleary.

The views will grow once the arguing starts ;-)

I'd start one but I'll be out all day and don't want to be accused of a hit and run :-)

Personally, if I pivot and feel off balance, Ill adjust my footing slightly until i feel better. If you can do this without throwing off your aim, do it. If not, I guess just practice the pivot. Maybe use a wider stance? I mean, Im the wrong person to ask, Ron Im sure can give you a better answer.
 
If you feel uncomfy after a pivot, your footing was wrong prior to the pivot. Your feet should be in a post-pivot position when you address the cb...with your torso at a pre-pivot position. That way, you pivot into comfort vs. out-of-comfort.
 
Question so I can understand this better.

90/90

So actually line the cue up through 10% of the CB through 10% of the OB??

Is this right?


Then pivot body with the backend of the cue until the cue is now aligned shooting through the center of the cueball??

pull trigger??


Center-center

Align cue path through the centers of both balls??

Then pivot the hip and backend of the cue 1/2 tip to the correct side to pocket the ball?

pull trigger?


I saw Spiders post about aligning feet beforehand. If this is the case and I can find that line then why rotate? Is the preshot setup just to get you closer to comfortable after you pivot but not 100% in line.

Thanks for the post
 
I know people who use RV's methods and love them. I never asked much about it because it was confusing to me and im still confused.

Every point on the CB is 'center ball' for some line of aim so this pivot to center ball is real hazy for me. You could pivot a lttle and find center ball or pivot a lot and find center ball. Plus how would you know a shot is a 90-90?

I guess i just gotta stick with my own system-hit and miss.

Good Stuff

I was always interested in this but I did not want to call and try to figure it out over the phone. I had to watch the video about 5 or 6 times to get it but I finally did and it makes sense to me. Thanks for sharing the info. :thumbup: Rep to you sir!
 
Where is lesson .25 and .50? After looking at the diagrams and videos a few times i thought i understood. After a few min. at the table I am still confused. It seems to work well on shots that are slight cuts, say under 30%. Over that I am not even close, but then again where in this system to we reference our aim to the pocket. Thats the part I am missing. What about a shot that will go in more than one pocket? Confused...

There is a point where 90/90 ends and then you aim 90 to the OB center and pivot.
 
It's about time for bed. I"m tired and want to really look this over so I'll just type some crap here so I have a subscription to this thread. I suspect that it won't be hard to find come morning.
