What are you looking at? The diagrammed shot has no carom available.

I speak of the carom of the cue ball off the object ball. That's the carom. There need not be another collision. The reason this is vital to aiming cuts is at least twofold.
A) The carom is always perpendicular to the desired object ball direction and
B) The CB, OB, and carom are always in your direct line of vision.
Call it the ghost line because that's how it functions. It's far more accurate as well

One more thing there are several speed dependent shot changers but that's not the point here.

Once you get used to this, many shots can be visualized with the carom alone. A good exercise is to visualize balls at the other end of the table as cuts to the corners. Look for the perpendicular carom and start shooting them.

They still need to play “properly” under the rules of the specific league. I actually agree that amateur leagues like the APA should have as few fouls and rules as possible to keep the game more fun and with less chances for disagreements. That’s probably partly why the APA is already so successful (along with excellent marketing). In addition to all the other things they already allow, maybe the APA should also start allowing double hits, scoop jump shots, cue-lift shots, creative mechanical-bridge shots, kneeling-on-the-table shots, etc! Just let them play and have fun.

They could also have "No Ball Fouls." If you are allowed to touch or move an OB by mistake, why should it be a foul to touch or move the CB by mistake? Also, why should it be a foul if you touch or move a ball by mistake when you have CB in hand?

How so? The shot seems to be cut it in the side. The rest is how you develop the ability. The extreme outside is just the fringe of cinching it. One could easily slam it and achieve an elevated and therefore thinner hit. One could outright jump it and hit the far side as well on and on...
Oh yeah, inside works too. Thins the actual hit if you have trouble hitting it.
