Notice how I (or anyone that has purchased Poolology) did not attack or insult AtLarge for his assessment and honest opinion of the system. I even stated that he was pretty much spot on but not quite right. He came up with a change in the required angle to be about 5.5° from 1 diamond away vs 5 diamonds away. This is correct. The incorrect part is stating that the shot does not go from 1 diamond away. It goes. A 3/8 aim will work from 1 diamond to 4 diamonds very accurately.
The system targets the 38.7° fractional hit to overcut the pocket. With no CIT the shot would hit the outside tip of the pocket and not go in. Physics is a beautiful thing. CIT pushes this particular shot angle to around 36 to 37 degrees, which from a CB 1 diamond away sends the ob just left of center pocket, toward the facing (when cutting the ball to the right). Keeping the aim point and shooting from 4 diamonds away will produce the same 36 to 37 degree shot. But the perception of the 3/8 aim point shifts slighty, causing the shot angle to shift from left to right across the mouth of the pocket (once again, if cutting the ob to the right).. AtLarge is correct that from 5 diamonds out the shot may shift too much and miss the pocket. But the CB would be frozen to the rail, and from this distance and CB location, pocketing the ball is low-percentage shot for almost any player, regardless of what aiming method a player uses.
I appreciate AtLarge for his comments, because they prompted me to update the book with details about these issues. His review made the book better.
Did you think about answering my question? The one about CTE automatically lining a player for an overcut in order to hit center pocket, but in all of your clips you stun every shot. Knowing a stun shot dramatically increases CIT, often changing the angle by as much as 3 or 4 degrees, how are you hitting center pocket?
