Back of the CB Aiming or BBCB.

I met John at the JB Cases booth in Rio last week and we talked at length about aiming. He is knowledgeable and personable and he was selling a lot of nice and colorful cases.

He mentioned an observation of his. It was that as the CCB2COB (center CB to [2] Center OB) and CCB2CPOB (center CB to contact point OB) aim line intersect at the center of the CB and exit on the back of the CB surface. and that the distance and included angle are small numbers but exist for all cut shots.

This is also true for the CGB2CCB. Which is harder to visualize/perceive.

He doesn't post anymore and didn't give it much thought.

After some thought, I concluded that if one could double the distance/angle of the CT2CT and CP2CP lines, one could achieve the desired aim line from the CCB to the CGB by doubling.

There is no pivot required but the shifting of the bridge and stance to each CCB line.

It is parsimonious which I like.

All credit to John for this observation.

Be well.

could you or someone diagram what the poster is trying to say??
im too dumb to understand...:o:o:o:o
im not a student of aiming systems....:o:o:o

Me too.

I figure CP2CP must be "contact point to contact point" and CGB2CCB must be "center ghost ball to center cue ball", but I can't figure out what CT2CT is.

Also, I can't visualize how the CP2CP line passes through the CB's center (except for straight shots).

how about a pic for those that want to learn but are ignorant???
 
A=A.

Determine the A of the line from the contact point on the OB through the center of the CB and the line from the center of the OB to the center of the CB - where the lines exit the CB creates a distance A on the equator of the CB and an angle if you prefer.

Double that A distance or angle to crate a new line from the center of the CB to the ghost ball.

Oh, I get the idea now - it's another way of describing Double-The-Distance Aiming.
