What part is bullshit to you?
Well...
The stick is “objective”, of course. What you line it up with... not so much.
I do something similar.

The way he claims he does it.
It's BS to me.
Please.
When he's down on the shot, he's not looking at the side of the shaft in some area of the shaft .
He's already lined up to the shot and he's just making sure he hits the cue ball at the right spot with the right stroke.
You are actually describing exactly what I do. And Im sure Shane has figured it out too.
The tip alignment on the OB is done while standing. You are picturing it, and feeling yourself slide into the shot. You make a double check to make sure you did your alignment correctly.
Then it is about focusing on the target on the CB, and feeling what the stroke needs to feel like speed wise. And I do this in 2-3 practice strokes.
You allowed for part A, overlooked the possibility that he was also doing part B. And since you overlooked it, you assumed he could not arrive at point C.
And where does different parts of the side of the shaft come in ?
While stood up or down ?
While standing behind the shot, you look to recognize it as maybe a half ball hit (edge of the ball, center of the tip). Or you might know this particular shot requires say, the right edge of the tip on the right edge of the ball.
Once you have figured out what your tip needs to be pointed at, you focus your routine on aligning your feet to be able to move in on the line that has your tip aligned on the object balls "target".
Move in on the shot, double check your alignment. Is the edge of the ball in the center of my tip?
Confirmed aim is now done, the rest of the routine is keying in on the CB target, and feeling the stroke in terms of speed.
Then execute the stroke.
Well, that's different.
Shane claims he uses the sides of the shaft AND in DIFFERENT PARTS . Left edge for a good cut to the left. Right edge when the hit is thicker.
Does not mention the center of the tip.
Actually he does.
What he says his system uses are the left and right edge, and the 3 lines that would be created if you split the shaft into 1/4s. So thats 5 possible shaft alignments to the edge of the OB per his version of shaft aiming.
This is the system as explained in the video. Shane has used it since he was pretty young. I don't why people keep saying he doesn't. Its simple and effective. Its actually a pivot system without calling it that. You have to swing the cue/body around to get on the line needed.Actually he does.

When I walk up to a shot, I aim my body/stance at the shot angle. Some shots I walk up Slightly....left to to shoot right, others I walk up Slightly....right to shoot left, and some I walk up straight away. I have to ''step into'' the shot at hand....this simplifies my cue ball & object ball striking creating a good/quick feel for cue ball speed.
He said he uses the sides of the shaft. Not portions or sections.Actually he does.

On a thinner cut, he uses the side closer to the joint.
Whatever you say man. I've learned disagreeing with you is a bottomless pit. Have no clue what "system reference angle " is but i'm sure i'm fixin to hear it.
A cut angle clearly defined by the system - in this case aligning a part of the cuestick (with center of stick through center of CB, I assume) with a part of the OB (center, edge, etc.).
Do you pivot to get from one of the clearly defined system cut angles to an undefined cut angle between them?

Shane must have told him a different story .
That or Shane never told him anything .
Shane clearly points out to different section of the shaft near the collar.
And said he uses the right opposite side of the shaft on less angles.
And I think he's laughing at the poor souls who's trying that.
Im telling you what Shane says he uses, not what the kid on the video says.
Again, not sure why you are having trouble understanding or believing this, but its on you.
never mind .
apparently Shane tells different stories to different people

He is just pointing to the shaft in that video, but he is not aiming or saying he is aiming, with the meat of the shaft near the joint collar.
Are you really thinking thats what he was talking about? Cause thats kind of funny if your constant reply of "thats bullshit" is based on your complete misunderstanding of what he is talking about :thumbup:.
