More aiming fodder for the cannons.

Mensabum’s cue-ball-to-pocket contact-point aiming method was argued over 150 posts here in late June 2024. Some explained how Mensabum's method was inaccurate and inferior to a parallel-shift aiming method. The two methods determined the same object-ball contact point but differed on the cue-ball contact point.

YouTuber and peace maker, @Ringo_6, advocates both aiming methods. He describes Mensabum’s method as the the most practical aiming method, See the Dot, Pot the Ball, and the parallel method as the most reliable aiming method, Master the Parallel Point Aiming.

The bottom photo I believe is correct but I dont think its even possible to make the contact points touch in the top photo. When 2 balls collide they will always be on equal parts of each ball. If you were to move the yellow ball further from the pocket in the first photo to where it is almost a 90 degree cut the contact point will be almost in the same spot (it will be the farthest point on the ball from the pocket) but the contact point on the QB would stay the same, see the problem??
