... fractional aiming (like all systems) only gets you close - you have to estimate the actual aim line from there. Very rarely does fractional aiming put you directly on the correct aim line with no adjustment.

My point was with fractional aiming you have a direct target not trying to juxtapose 2 contact patches as @straightline would say (i think)

A well known way to connect the contact points (assuming you can "see" the OB contact point) is to aim CB center to the point twice the distance from the OB's center or twice the distance from the OB's outside edge to the contact point. This is called "double distance" (when doubling from centerball) or "double overlap" (when doubling from the ball's edge).

You can also learn to simply recognize the distance to aim from the OB's center or contact point for the cut angle needed.

Pool has never been a sport that offered many people a true career. Look at that top 200 list from the other day. If you were the 192nd best doctor, lawyer, electrician, carpenter, accountant whatever in the world you would have a great career. Good luck doing it in pool. The very few who can and those who have nothing else are the ones you can understand doing it. If you aren’t one of them, build a life and play pool as life and career allow. You can enjoy the game forever. IMO.
