I do agree that to a certain extent, certain shots are gut feel (although I am not pro enough to qualify my statement) if you are not using any aiming system. But if you are not sure where you are pointing, then how can you get the cue ball to go to that place. Example of a straight in center...

In my country, all able-man must go through the army for two years and we do got to range and use the rifle quite regularly. Hence I am quite verse in that. You can be a sharp shooter when you are zeroing your weapon but when you are shooting at a moving target, then you have to aim off...

The thread is so long and I got lost half way through. Mike81 started the thread and he was asking if he should be using an aiming system. JB Cases made many points and there were many who disagree with him. In my humble opinion, I do agree with many points that he made. They are quite...

My method is as above. Cheap and doable at home on a dining table.

I beg to differ. I know of a chef who cooks for many years without having any feedback. He doesn't know his cooking was not up to par and he doesn't listen to others. As such, he has been honing his skills for many years, and it got worse by the years. Hammering a nail, you get instant...

I don't get it? Why is there a commercial here? I am simply trying to find out who actually tested their cue aiming in that manner. If you are not pointing at the correct spot, no matter what you do with the rest, they are irrelevant. You will never be an accurate potter, period. No, I am...

This is one way. Of course there are other cheaper methods. I have devised one. But that is not the topic of this thread. The question is, have you ever check whether your cue is pointing dead center on where you aim, despite not having the aiming sights of a rifle to assist you. Thanks for...

Not exactly. Hitting the cue ball up the length of the table and back to the cue tip - Yes, it most likely meant that you are hitting a point on the other side of the table and the cue ball coming back to the centre of your cue tip. However, this drill is meant for better players and it is no...

In so many threads, there are so many players who wonder why they are not making the pocket or whether their alignment is off or whether their aiming system is unsuitable for them, or problems with their cueing action, or their basic stance, etc etc. I believe in any sports that requires...

To all who might be asking for the manual, please note that I stay on the opposite side of the globe hence your day time is my night time. As such, I might not be able to send the manual to you in a matter of hours. If you do not receive it in two days, do write to me to highlight that you...

One way to learn about your aiming with a stick is: 1. Using laser (or a string), mark a point on a wall some distance from your dining table. Mark a point on the table (on that line) where your CB is. Then draw a line about 15cm from the butt of the cue towards the CB. You can mark a few...

Not sure if I am correct, but I believe that all the aiming is done when you are standing and looking at the contact point of the object ball while you are behind the object ball. The moment your bridge is formed, you are committed. The purpose of going down low is to make sure that you aimed...

Hi couldnthinkof01, From your description, you must be using a LD shaft with parallel shift. For pivot using BHE, one of the factor affecting the swerve is the slickness of the table. You can't just aimed intuitively and make a high percentage pot with sidespin. That is my thought. Maybe I...

Since my posting here, I have given out more than 20 manuals. If you so wish to get one, please email to me. I hope you will acknowledge in this thread that you have received it otherwise there will always be naysayers that says I am a conman. This manual is for those using normal cue. So if...

Dear members of AZbilliards, I have decided to give away my Precision Potting Manual free to all members here. This method is useful for players using the normal shaft and not so for those using LD shaft. Is it useful? It teaches you how to aim when playing english and it will definitely...

This Precision Potting manual is free. It tells you where you should aim to play english shots and why. Everything is explained in detail. It will also show you how to make your shots more accurately. Yes, it will show you how to pot balls more accurately. This method is more appropriate...

Just a quick note. If one is not able to consistently pot medium to long distance straight balls (where your bridge hand rest comfortably on the table), doesn't it mean that potting angle balls are more luck than accuracy for you? Since you can't deliver the cue ball to its intended location.

Hmm, I started this thread not to be told what is wrong or right in my method (although it is much appreciated). I was hoping that you could share with us one (or several) event that you remember vividly that propel you from a weak proponent at that particular skill to one that you are suddenly...

This thread is meant for long time players to give tips to the newer players. How one changes something in one's game and instantly become a much improve player is something that will be useful to other players (season or not). I hope more players will contribute. Let me start the ball...

Yes, you are right. I have also read about the throw is due to friction between the two balls. To me, outside English creates a very slight counterspin on the OB (again due to friction) thus negating the throw effect. You are spot on. The shaft cannot be LD when using my method.
