players you have been struggling to beat will have a "big surprise"
Wow... Ok thanks.. I guess I need to look into CJ's work sometime. I just saw the shorthand 'TOI' being mentioned in another post and didn't realize it was trade marked, Sorry CJ.
I guess what I meant was (for lack of better terminology) I use a "bit" of inside in my address to the OB contact point thru the CB using the Aim lines as referenced in the second image, The original images are not mine and I could not demonstrate the correct cue alignment either.
The nice thing is it seems to work *(for me)... maybe its just me... top of ball, bottom of ball, OB contact point all seem to work when in line w 'T2.5-T3ish'... a lot of times I get away with hitting the OB a little fat.. like for shape purposes or even a "missed" OB contact point. But if I align/aim the shot the same it seems pretty consistent. Granted when I started breaking it down it took a while to get the feel down from what I was used too but nice feather to add to the cap.
The objective of the original exercise was that I was trying to get away from having to 'throw the OB' (.. with a T.O.O.... of 'outside') into the hole to cancel the OB induced throw. So I just changed the shot address a little to offset the need to have to spin the CB. Thats all. It seems to have opened up a lot more options for me
Just saying... Different strokes for different folks I guess.
I was really just wanting to see if my new Snag it program would let me edit and post an image (I've never posted a image on AZ..) So I'll get out of ya'll's way... Thanks for the heads up,

No problem, this topic has been discussed on hundreds of threads and many are using it and understanding it better now. We all have slightly different perceptions, however, addressing the ball slightly to the inside seems to work for everyone that commits to using it for an extended time.
The TOI is more than just "cuing" to the Inside, it's a advanced and effective technique that's very intimidating to play against.
I've been filming a video on the subject this weekend and getting ready to finish it up in the next few hours. I've been challenged trying to explain the TOI, and with the video demonstration of how the cue ball reacts it will be much easier to understand.
It's funny to see the reaction when players see this for the first time because it's totally unfamiliar. You will see the cue ball react like this when Efren plays, however, few have caught on to what he's actually doing. I learned this technique in the late 80s and got the full benefit out of it by the early 90s. During this period I had a stretch of 3 straight years of winning 100% of my gambling matches.
My first Pro tournament I got 4th with wins against Efren, Earl, Rempe, Lebron, and then went to Reno (SEE LINK BELOW -Steve Mizerak vs CJ Wiley) and had wins over Varner, Mizerak and several other pros finishing 5th. I was consistently in the top 10 in the world for the next 8 years and only practiced a few hours a week. My tournament game caught up to my gambling game in 96, winning the ESPN World Open and finishing First Runner up the next 2 years. Your game can jump up several notches as well with this information and the dedication to commit and practice it for a few weeks.
The TOI was my "secret ingredient," and I never divulged that to anyone until years later and only now do I make it public. There are many different ways to play this game, this one will "get the cash," and many of the past champion gamblers used it in their own way.
If you go back to see the first posts I made about it in the Aiming Section many people thought it was "nonsense", I will assure you after you see the video you will be convinced it's a serious weapon and the players you have been struggling to beat will have a "big surprise" if/when you decide to commit to the "Touch of Inside". Your opponents will have no idea what hit them unless you tell them, and even then few will try to incorporate {TOI} into their Game. 'The Game is the Teacher'
