I have tried CB last many times.

I’m much better off OB last.

There are a few circumstances, though, I will use CB last, like jacked up over a ball; CB frozen on a rail; or almost always when using the rake.

I get the hand eye coordination but for drilling's sake, looking at the cue ball puts the focus_ right on the error_. This will probably cause errors at the object ball but think about this: If perfect cue ball causes errors, you're doing it wrong.

I suggest trying it and sussing out the line error it reveals. Work that out and you can look anywhere you want.

I practice shooting that shot making both balls with my eyes closed as well and what I get out of that is staying down on the shot and the feeling the cue.

it all adds up but its not clear how dangerous the different things are individually and combined.
smoking, drinking, and eating poorly will certainly shorten your life.

heck they found arsenic in many of the children's candies recently.
but chemical poisoning will do it quickly. especially with a long exposure and frequency.

It all depends. Sometimes about 8-12" from the pocket on the bed. I'll place my bridge hand on the pocket and if trying one-handed pocketing both balls the cue rests on the pocket.
