I think the key here is to have one's expectations in place. No matter how hard one practices, how much one wins/bets in action matches, and how much effort a player makes to improve, it is always worth bringing in an expert opinion.

I recall a recent post by JAM noting that Keith had watched the 12-year-old Josh Filler play and knew he was watching a future great. Thorsten Hohmann had said the same of the very young Filler.

Do the top pros see greatness in Colsten? By the age of 18, for example, the future greats can usually comfortably gamble with all but the best 50 players in the world. We now live in a world in which any player not carrying a Fargo of 790+ will be hard pressed to earn a living at pro pool and a Fargo 750 is a long, long way from world class speed. We also live in a world in which expecting to earn a living through action pool alone is probably unrealistic.

Where is Colsten's game relative to those who went on to earn a living at pro pool? Does he play as well at his age as they did at his age? He needs to know if he is going to make the best possible decisions with respect to his path in life.

Except 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)
