the "Kill Shot" becomes a lethal weapon.
Yes, please don't try to convince anyone to try it.
The idea to me, to use a touch of inside, is not to hide a personal bad stroke, poor aiming ability or lack of experience with cue ball spin and throw effects. This a mental exercise and a simple deductive reasoning solution. Not all strokes are perfect.
Efren makes bad strokes; CJ makes bad strokes; Willie made bad strokes. When it happens, the margin for error will take affect. I do not aim loosely to a pocket. I aim specifically for the edge and cue consistently to make the ball hit center pocket. I never count on pocket slop. If I hit outside my target, I know I must adjust for conditions and change my speed.
I'm not using this technique as a gimmick because my stroke sucks. I'm logically covering all possibilities to pocket the ball besides poor aim. And I don't want to convince anyone to try it. CJ gave up a big clue here and I thank him for it. Feeding the fish is rare. I know. I played many years with champions and they never gave up too much.
So, aim center pocket. After all, it is the biggest part of the pocket. And ask all of your amateur friends where they aim. No debate there. :wink:
Best,
Mike
