See the diagram in post #1 A way to parallel shift: use stick aiming at CP2CP line while standing with the bridge and grip hand on the cue. Hold the position an bend down (both hands will move the same distance to the side) on to the shot with the tip pointed at the center of the OB. This will...

I will hijack my own thread to agree with the steps 1, 2 and 5, like CP2CP. With this - use stick aiming on the step 1 line while standing with the bridge and grip hand on the cue. Hold the position an bend down (both hands will move the same distance to the side) on to the shot with the tip...

AtLarge, Hi again. Your step 3 below is what I am focused on for the "bit past center CB" will vary depending on the cut angle. The CP2CP for a 90 degree cut will require a larger "bit" than a 15 degree cut. I can calculate the fraction of the tip diameter past center for various cut angles in...

This system doesn't care about the distance between CB and OB for it accomplishes the parallel shift used also in other systems like contact point to contact point (CP2CP) etc.

Edge of the cue ball (CB) aiming with 2 pivots If one can aim the edge (E) of the CB (3:00 or 9:00 O’clock) at the same edge on the OB and shoot the center of the CB parallel to the E2E line, he would make a straight in (0 degree) shot. If one can aim the edge (E) of the CB (3:00 or 9:00...

I Like Mort's description: "Sweep the cue in from the side and position the tip with exactly a half tip offset. Make a strict pivot to center cue ball."

He (Parica) just said his brain is just like a computer when pocketing balls. He also said to me that, "practice is for those that don't know what to do".

Explain to the sweaters what sweeping is.

Some are blind in one eye so they see only one dot.

I don't think that I heard it explained that well. If I aim at say CTE with the shaft and tilt my head a bit there after, I need to move the shaft so that it is again aimed at CTE - this will give me a different cut angle. I can tilt my head with my eyes to the left for thick and to the right...

Gee, I don't have a table either but I do have a pair of elephant balls, I guess I need to buy an empty TV table to aim the 2 lines at.

Yup CTE is a process that arrives at position/stance to aim at the center of the CB without the shooter knowing what to aim at on the OB or to the outside of the OB down table. Double the distance aiming calculates/shows one a spot on or to the outside of the OB or a vertical line to aim at...

cdsunrise et al,, Perhaps this will help. Go to post #1 for background info. The CB will appear larger than the OB but the shift from the CP on the OB to the center of the OB is independent of the CB - after step 1 disregard the CB like it wasn't there until step 4 when you pivot to the center...

Get a no deflection shaft.:wink::thumbup:

That's what I say - wrapless.

Sounds useful. Put the tip of the cue on the bottom of the GB, on the aim line, and look for something under the cue on the cloth to aim at.

He, he. I also look to aim at points but sometimes the CB gets bigger or smaller and I miss.:wink:

Or, you got some big balls.:thumbup:

In my earlier post, I showed a 45 degree cut angle from above the OB and a line that showed that the line was 1/6 of the diameter of the OB (regardless of how small it might appear) in from the edge of the OB (3:00 O'clock). This can be used to determine the contact point (red dot) on the OB...

So true. Close your eyes and admire the result of a straight stroke.
