If there is NO aiming that is "good", what's better? GUESSING? HAMB? FEEL? INSTINCT? How good can a newbie to the game
get if the instructor has so little to teach in that one particular facet of the game?
My aiming system is guessing....who use the Guessing System?

The problem is spin in all 3 directions.
Hitting OB with follow (or natural) causes OB to skid until it starts to roll
Hitting OB with draw causes OB to roll instantaneously
Hitting OB with side causes OB to roll in a direction influenced by spin (throw)
So, where you hit OB is dependent on what spin CB has at impact.
Thus, you have to understand spin to understand the compensations to make AFTER choosing where you want to pot the ball.
Ghost Ball only gives you the spot to hit, then there are compensations afterwards.
AND that is WHY GB (or any other system) is just a starting point.
The object ball will have a little follow if the cue ball has draw, but this forward spin is much, much less than a smoothly rolling ball. This is easy to demonstrate.

Are you confused about putting the tip of the cue low below the equator and striking the shot? Are you confused about
putting the tip high above the equator and striking the shot? Are you confused about putting the tip parallel right or left of CCB
and striking the shot? I guess it doesn't make sense that you can do the same thing by pivoting (angling) the cue left or right of center or high and low to accomplish the same thing as well as it telling you where the tip of the cue should be pointed and angled to aim the shot. You're confused because you just don't know what there is to know as are many others on here and have been for decades.
It's simple, not confusing. Fact is, it can be done WITHOUT a pivot. It's called CTE Pro1 and all that's done is aim the edge of the CB and the center of the CB onto the OB simultaneously. Every time the CB strikes the OB from dead straight in to the thinnest of cut, the edge of the CB and center of it will be clearly visible on the OB like a lunar or solar eclipse.

If this is still confusing, you may be a long lost relative of "Bob Hope", with your name being "NO HOPE".
Your brain and imagination are 100% stuck in cement. And where are these fundamentals of approach? Are you saying that the edge of the CB and center CANNOT be seen overlapping the OB from anywhere on the table? Are you saying that the tip of the cue aimed or pointed at a specific part of the OB doesn't speak to you and say what needs to be said on what's going to occur at impact whether straight on or angled?
My take is that it could be hard for shooter Hans to accept Spiderwebcomm's help while he is at the same time resorting to name calling in such a childish manor. Cement-head? No-hope? maybe I missed some of the previous discussion.. so be it, just as well ..
I guess nobody hits center ball anymore. Where have I been all of these years?
