What are "visuals" in this context? Mathematics are one way of explaining how things work under the hood. I don't get the claim that an aiming system could have "nothing to do" with math or can't be explained using math. Whatever you are doing visually in this aiming system must have some...

Something about your break technique is sensitive to a different table height. Take a video of yourself breaking on both different table types and try to see what is different.

12 pages about a sales pitch with OP making multiple long posts beating around the bush, not revealing his ideas on any useful level. A bunch of grandiose claims with the goal of selling your product. Threads like this should be banned, either share the method and discuss it with others, or go...

9 ball: 4 racks vs real opponent, 6 in practice 10 ball: 3 in practice 8 ball: 2 or 3, don't remember I play 9-ball much more than the other two, by a huge margin. Probably done many thousands of 9-ball racks but only a few hundred of 8-ball and 10-ball.

While I agree that the end goal is for your intuition/experience to fully take over, for beginner players systems like this can be a great way for speeding up the process of learning. Depends on your personality, some learn faster with systems, some despise them even as beginners. But whatever...

A chess clock style shot clock might be good for 9-ball: Give both players 3 minutes per frame, which keeps ticking down whenever they are at the table. once that 3 minutes is up, every shot afterwards will be on a 15 second shot clock. This could result in faster matches than the typical 30...

That last shot you missed, those are very deceivingly simple looking. CB too close to the OB and my normal aiming intuition breaks down and feels like never can make them 100%, just have to avoid having to shoot them.

Your aim, over time, grows to be as strong as your technique's repeatibility allows it to be. Noise hurts learning. Amount and quality of practice, talent, eyesight, aiming method and many more things play a role too, but the preciseness & repeatibility of your technique is the biggest factor...

I also predicted 4 finns in top16. Now just hope Riku wins the whole thing, would be a great boost for his career.

16-cup starts tomorrow morning, only 2 finns left.

Considering that ~60% of the participants are finnish, not a single one of them qualified to the 32-cup from the winners side. Not too promising :D

Pretty sure he is 16

This is a good approximation, just practically not as precise as the mirror method I explained. So preferable if precision isn't mandatory and/or you can't be bothered to spend extra time.

Perhaps we mean different things by the mirror system, but the way I do it requires no visual judgement/guesswork/intuition, just simple steps to measure and memorize a point on the rail. I'll clarify how I do it, perhaps there's some key difference that might help you: 1. Stand behind the...

The basic mirror system (using your cue to measure the exact mirror point) is, in my opinion, the simplest and most accurate at achieving this goal for 1-rail kicks, and any number/math-based systems that also just give you the mirror point seem like a waste with no extra benefits. The only...

Finnish pool player here, sadly didn't have the chance to go watch this live. Will be rooting for all of our countrymen :D Fargo-wise the best ones around the 770-790 range are (in no particular order) Mika Immonen, Jani Uski, Casper Matikainen, Petri Makkonen and Kim Laaksonen, out of which...

I'm not sure if you are saying this because people are replying in a simple "just HAMB and you'll figure it out" sort of way, but if so, I wouldn't say it reflects their thought upon your skill level at all, but rather that HAMB truly is the answer to these things for most players, especially...

I agree with this. I visualize the entire shot (path of OB and CB), and get an intuitive feel for how much to adjust. I visualize the ghost ball and then adjust from there depending on the spin, elevation etc. Work on your fundamentals, then get some reps in for all kinds of spin shots and it...

Of course, but the point of those qualifiers should be to exist as an method for the non-pros (700s and below, maybe 750ish max) to have a chance at getting to play in the US Open (which they know they aren't gonna win anyway) for a cheaper price, if they aren't willing to pay the full entry...
