Seeing the contact point on the object ball.

Hello, for those of you who use contact point aiming systems, where you first find the contact point on the object ball
by drawing a line from the pocket through the object ball, here is my question.
Let's say you have a long shot , and the object ball is a solid color. You step away from the object ball, after finding the contact point, and head
back to the cue ball which is say - 4 diamonds away. How do you keep track of that contact point on the object ball with your eyes? Thank you.
There's a whole forum for aiming topics. Maybe this thread will get moved there, but in the meantime....

Suppose you can keep the contact point in mind, say it happens to be a feature on the object ball. What do you then do with that point once you get over to shoot the cue ball?

Taking the Pocket Out of Aiming

A little background information with a July 2008 AZ post about Jimmy Reid:
A small nit about the illustration. I think it is better to show a shot that is not a half-ball hit. Some people may see that and conclude that is part of the deal when it is not. It is better to not give the reader that chance to make a mistake.

Another Cueball Training Device/Product!!

Today at the pool hall I noticed a player had brought a hoop thingie and was shooting some shots with it. I asked him about it. He said a friend who has a 3D printer had made some of various radii and had given him two. The one he was using had about 1/4 inch total clearance. He said he found it useful for warming up. The only thing he did with it was to shoot the cue ball through it from a distance as part of his warmup.
