Without sights or any way to aim precisely it all comes down to muscle memory and your subconscious recognizing the angles.
All any aiming system can do is get you in the ballpark. Great for beginners. Also helpful for people unable to quiet their conscious mind, as it gives them something to focus on.
In archery, instinctive shooters (no sights) have a saying: "Become the arrow".
The best pool I've ever played is when I've "become the ball" and any "systems" are completely off of my radar.

This Wikipedia article references Bennett from 1899. Jack Carr page:

- I had to edit my above error where I said John Carr rather than the correct Jack Carr; John Bartley was the room owner. Sorry about that.

Try jumping with your break cue. Harder tip and no low deflection shaft will work good.

I bought one of the little things from Joe Tucker. Joe seems highly intelligent and knowledgeable, especially about pool. I found the gizmo worthless, I already stroked straighter than it gauged. A near beginner might find it wonderful, somebody with more experience, not so much. I broke or lost a piece, don't remember which. Replacement was fast and free!

I don't know anything about the device in this thread. To be gentle, it looks like one more device that came out because of 3D printers. People buy the printers or other NC equipment then have to find something to do with it. Might be doing these folks wrong but it seems like a lot of stuff is hitting the market that was designed because somebody had a machine to make it.
