Haha... thanks Pacecar. I figured this video may have been posted, but didn't see it anywhere. Later y'all.

This popped up as a recommended video to me, and it's damn amazing what this guy built. At the tail end of the video, he was talking about next steps for his system. He wants to determine algorithm for taking the next best shot at the table. Pretty fascinating to think about how to devise...

As somebody who has tried to develop a feel to adjust for spin at different speeds and distances, and has now been using the SAWS system, I can give you some observations about my experience using it. Overall, I think SAWS is good to learn, even if you just use feel for spin shots. Learning...

Thanks for sharing the nice ideas sixpack. I'm still digesting them. I tried your trick on Double the Distance and using a reference point on the tip arc. I am struggling with this idea, but I think there is something there to discover. It reminds me of Shane Van Boenings shaft aiming...

I spent some time on this today. It works awesome for the nearly full shots. It's so simple, too.

Great observation. For me, picking the contact point at eye level along the equator helps to get a sense of the point in a 3 dimensional space. As I move behind the CB, I perceive the point as an edge from the new perspective. Yep, I am definitely taking into account throw when picking the...

I’d rather not have this hassle. I also have dry eyes and contact lenses can bother me after wearing them for extended periods of time. So, no brainer for me. ;)

I've gone through this. Years ago, I tried the other one GetAGrip mentioned. Those glasses looked way too tall and everything was super distorted. I sent them back and got most of my money back with some effort. He didn't offer any customizations. About 6 months ago, I got glasses from Bill...

Thanks for that tip. I saw this system on the first HAPS video (well done making the video, btw!). I tried to use it at the table, but it didn't seem that useful to me. I will give it another try for these shots.

Great idea, Patrick. I will try this. My theory as to why I'm slightly off is that I'm not getting the CP on the exact equator of the OB in particular. I am working on bending down to pick the CP along the equator, then carefully keeping my gaze on it as I move behind CB. Visualizing points...

Yep, I'm on the same page as you on the HAMB approach and getting a sense of aiming line based on feeling the amount of fractional ball overlap and using edges of CB and OB as references. This works very well for me on most of the shots that come up. That said, I've been introducing the CP...

If I were to emulate a player, it would be Fedor Gorst. I like his methodical style at the table. It may not be considered entertaining to watch someone who plays textbook pool, but as a pool player I appreciate the discipline he has at the table. He is pretty much unflappable, too. He...

Yep, I will keep experimenting, practicing, and refining. Thanks to you both for your thoughts.

Ok, that's probably the same thing as what I'm calling visualizing rings (along vertical axis). So, the idea is just to visualize the stripe in your mind, then try to to maintain the location of the stripe as you get behind CB to take the shot?

For those that use this system (Dr. Dave page link ), what techniques work well for bookmarking the contact point (CP) on the OB after you get down on the shot. What I mean by bookmarking is trying to re-locate the CP on the OB after you move behind the CB. If the cut shot is on the thinner side...
