I wonder what type of aiming system a guy uses when he has a bag over his head.
The "butterface" system?

Because they aren't a magic bullet.
You know, that thing that naysayers think aiming systems are, but the users have said multiple times they aren't.
So please, stop being foolish, and try to come up with something new.
Do NBA basketball players use an "aiming system" for free throws?
Maybe they should talk about something more interesting like...... Do NBA basketball players use an "aiming system" for free throws?
What's ironic is many of the ones that argue that there's "no aiming systems that work" can't hit the cue ball straight anyway. :groucho: 'The Game is the Teacher'

Either, as long as the former is amply bathed in salt and vinegar, the latter smothered in HP sauce. It will take you ten years to fix that stroke, not a month.

Do you mean like every snooker player who's ever lived? Y'know, those snooker players, with their notoriously crooked strokes and that?
Great. So to be clear we are talking about a stroke where there is no body movement, no elbow drop, and the cue stops on the follow-through.
So as long as we can super impose me and Ronnie and our cues follow the same path I win right?
I don't have to adopt his stance or the way he moves into the shot or the way he holds his arm. We are ONLY talking about making the cue come straight through the ball the way he does it.

Never mind that. It'll take a miracle for Barton to cue like Ronnie within a month.
You are setting the bar pretty high though. Most people wouldn't be able to with more than month.

Well, you have to cue like him, if that's what you mean.
Have you ever actually had a pork pie? Not recommended for complete beginners or the feint of heart.

Nobody would be able to do that, period. You can't cue like Ronnie unless you start as a child, and practice day in day out, for many years.
Maybe not as good, but they could come close.
I don't entirely agree with John that anyone without physical limitations can become world class. I will agree though that they can at least obtain perfect fundamentals. That's actually the easiest part of this game. I don't believe there's anything Ronnie can do that any other top level snooker player can't emulate.
It's the other factors such as speed control, positional play, and overall knowledge that puts him above the rest.
I know plenty of players that actually have better fundamentals than me, but can't beat me for the cash for those factors listed above.

I disagree with Barton on many things, especially this.
As do I. However, the bet isn't if he can become world class, but to see if he can perfect his fundamentals. That is 100% possible for him if he puts forth the effort. Can it be done in a month? I have my doubts.
hit the cue ball straight and pure to play at a world class level
They may have had "notoriously crooked strokes," but they still had to hit the cue ball straight and pure to play at a world class level. From prior experience I would guess they had to practice many hours a day to play this way. Anything other than a straight stroke is going to lead to extra challenges (to play the game consistently).

Yes. The motion the cue makes has to be perfectly straight.
