This thread is not about aiming in the sense of picking the correct cut angle, but about alignment; I will share a method I use for accurately fine-tuning the cue angle to point towards wherever I want the CB to go at. So, you can use this no matter if you use some aiming system or not, it...

The better your fundamentals are, the easier it is to control power shots. Work on the most fundamental things (stability, stance, stroke, alignment, repeatibility, etc.) your draw will improve too as a byproduct.

Did a 41 yesterday, that's my new record. Ended up missing with the CB being frozen to another ball and being jacked up in an uncomfortable position due to that, those are very tough for me, gotta practice them more.

If I understood your explanation properly, it would not be mathemathically correct. Correct me if I got it wrong, but given your instructions, wouldn't I aim this shot into the orange line, causing the OB to go way off towards the red arrow instead of the pocket? For reference, this is what...

Yep, the best aiming system is having rock-solid fundamentals, getting reps in and trusting your instincts when it comes to aiming. The most common scenario where people don't trust their aiming instincts is when their fundamentals are wack, causing them to miss many shots because of not...

Yeah, anyone with half a brain realizes that if what is being kept as a secret was exceptionally useful, it would be out there already in some form. Aiming sticks to balls that hit other balls isn't rocket science. People keep re-inventing the same ideas and techniques over and over, with...

Yes, he hit the CB with the cue properly. It was just at break speed with moderate elevation, which pretty much guarantees some balls to fly off.

I was playing a match, had my opponent on 1 foul, and played a lock-up safety with no realistic path to hit the next ball, so he would be looking at an almost certain 2 fouls after his shot. There were 8 balls left on the table. Instead of trying to hit the OB, or even doing a "normal"...

I know some 700-800 fargo players who sometimes do it for smaller non-professional events within the 500€-3000€ range of price money for the winner. But yeah, no idea about this case at all, and no idea if that happens/how much it happens in larger events with 5k+ or 10k+ price for the winner.

I predict Kaci will win 15-8

Youtube AI on point :D

Maybe they're weighting the overall probability of both options to figure out which one is less likely to go wrong. In that case it's not fully useless. Oversimplifying this so it won't be too long of an explanation, but even if both options are over 90% to run out from there, noticing 97%...

The ideal solution is a more wide-spread usage of shot clocks. If you are playing for large money and not under a shot clock, and feel like thinking a bit more or taking a bit longer on the shot routine increases your odds of running out, you will absolutely take that extra time, and shouldn't...

That's a touchy shot, one anyone should take a bit of extra time for, both in terms of plan and execution. I agree that routinely spending 20-30 seconds per shot for hangers or semi-hangers when theres 1-5 balls left and no problems is overkill (I don't know how long Kazakis spends on those on...

Out of curiosity, who do you all think is the absolute slowest 750+ fargo player? I know many that are pretty slow, but hard to think of someone specific that is slower than the rest. Kaci? Hennessy?

The ideology I have for safeties is as follows, applies well for short safety game too: When picking the correct safety, instead of focusing on the best-case scenario (e.g. a perfect lock-up), you should assess the whole range of possibilities in terms of misjudgement of speed, spin and angle...

I have noticed that the type 1 pause hurts me more than helps, whereas 2 or 3 works well. Completely stopping makes me prone to muscle tension, body movement (It's harder to only move the arm with no unwanted body motions after being completely still somehow) and bad timing, whereas letting the...

Yeah this one is easy to answer. Playing in bars where you get punched for not knowing the local rules is it's own discussion, but in any setting between two players who have any sort of respect towards each other or/and the game, 3-fouling is a part of the game and in no context should be seen...
