This is kind of like going from 5-hour energy to 8-hour energy shots. Or, if you're a health nut, maybe like going from 8-Minute Abs to 7-Minute Abs. In a world filled with one-up-manship, I bring you: AIMING BY FULL BALL.

Ya see, AIMING BY FULL BALL is sort of like PJ's "Half of a Half of a Half of a Half" technique, except you don't need to understand binary searches and visually figuring "halves" of distances, from a distance. Man, that sounds confusing--- sheesh!

AIMING BY FULL BALL goes like this: Aim the OB for a straight-on stop shot. Think to yourself, "Does it go?" If it does--- FIRE! If you lucked out with this first position working --- SEE HOW EASY IT IS? If it doesn't go, aim a "smidgen" away from center (and the pocket) and think-- "Does it go?" If so, FIRE!! Basically, keep repeating until you can visualize the ball going into the pocket.

No need for bracket ranges, figuring halves (those are hard!!! ;) ), remembering where your last half was so you can re-half, etc. Simple, quick, and easy!

This is guaranteed to work better and faster than the Half-Ball Technique with "half" the effort (get it?) and half of the patience and even.... HALF of the setup time!

I know what you're thinking -- "How can you do that to PJ when he JUST came out with his groundbreaking new system?" Well, the business world is a tough place and if you come up with a new drinking straw, you run the risk of someone coming out with a drinking straw with a wider diameter that might even have a bendy-part to it. Thems the breaks.

There you have it---- Aiming by Full Ball -- A Fractional Technique.

Yup but first he wanted to Slap-Chop her for some foreplay.

Nick

Well, after reading the police report (you should too --- it's hilarious), he leaned in to kiss her and then she bit his tongue and wouldn't let go. "Defendant then proceeded to repeatedly punch her face until she released."

I mean, if you don't wanna get kissed, being a whore isn't the right job for you.

Back to the FULL BALL FRACTIONAL TECHNIQUE---

Oh, so that's why the CTE Rabid Response Team is all over the Aiming By Halves thread - you think the only reason for posting about aiming systems is to try to one-up CTE.

This thread is funny enough (if you ignore the self-obsessed motivation for it), but you guys should really get over yourselves.

That's not it Pat. The ONLY reason you posted a thread which details learning by feel was to ridicule other aiming methods.

Deny it all you want to but you can't stand the thought of there being some way to aim that does NOT require guessing.

You fidget when you aim and expect that everyone else should as well.

The fact that some players, amateur and pro alike, don't have to guess and don't have to fidget and didn't have to practice EVERY possible shot 500 times to figure out how to aim them galls you to the core apparently.

Rabid Response team is hilarious considering that the Aiming System Defamation League can't stay out of aiming threads and let them die on their own. Without you and your buddies all aiming threads would die in less than 50 posts. (and yes, the same applies to the stupid thread you posted if the system guys would have stayed out of it).

Whatever, the topic of aiming has a life of it's own and during my travels this time it's clear that many people are reading all this and are very interested. If Aiming by Guessing were working as you claim then no one would be interested. But Aiming by Guessing is NOT working for a lot (probably most) people and thus they are interested in looking for alternatives - which the system guys provide and which people like you will apparently go to any length to denounce. You try your best to prevent others from attempting to learn because of your own prejudice.

THAT is the problem.

And for the record Dave Segal's spoof on your nonsense is actually the BETTER way to aim by guessing.

WHY?

Well it does not require that the shooter get off the object ball. By starting with a straight-on shot the shooter can move along the object ball away from the pocket until locked into the shot line. None of this reduce the distance by half bullshit that you just made up to ridicule people with.

Like I said, you guys should get over yourselves. The world doesn't revolve around your obsessions.

Aiming By Halves is a widely useful concept for learning to use your innate aiming ability that works in its modest and straightforward way without needing to "one up" any other method. Wish that was true of all methods...

If you have an innate ability Pat then you don't need to use a system of any kind. That's the definition of innate. When my three year old daughter figures out how to get down from a treehouse carrying a large wooden box for the first time all by herself then she has learned this using her innate ability to reason combined with her instinctual sense of balance and safety. She didn't have to fall down six times from various heights while trying different carrying methods to figure it out.

The fact of it is that you are trying hard to ridicule by doing this OR you are serious which is even sadder.

PJ:

Explain why your 1/2 ball is better than my full ball system. JB is right-- this thread was a mockery, but it IS better than what you're describing. Imagine that-- my joke is more rock-solid than your thought-out thread.

Would love to hear how you think your 1/2 ball concept is stronger than the full ball concept.

No, it's not. Innate means inherent, not necessarily fully developed. We have the innate ability to run - does that mean everybody should try out for the Olympics?

You're thinking with your "CTE team spirit" again.

innate [ɪˈneɪt ˈɪneɪt]
adj
1. existing in a person or animal from birth; congenital; inborn
2. being an essential part of the character of a person or thing
3. instinctive; not learned innate capacities
4. (Life Sciences & Allied Applications / Botany) Botany (of anthers) joined to the filament by the base only
5. (Philosophy) (in rationalist philosophy) (of ideas) present in the mind before any experience and knowable by pure reason

Again, if it's innate then there is no need to use an aiming system. Sure any person has the ability to orient themselves to other objects.

However let's assume you're right. Then by your reasoning if all people have the innate ability to aim which can be developed then using a precise method would be better than using a method required controlled guessing.

Thus having a precise target to use for every shot and going straight to the shot line is better than starting with a target with anywhere from say 0 to 10 guesses to get to the shot line.

Wouldn't you agree?
