I answered the picture question in the post above. To address your looking at the CB question: When the OB is farther away, it appears smaller so the parallel shift of the cue for the same cut angle gets proportionately smaller and that results in a more narrowing angle of the shot line. This...

Geometry says it's the same at all distances if you hit the spot. Have fun.

For those that are still interested - more angle spots: Have fun

Mike, Hi. Very good practice/method. I can see the cut angle in degrees using lines from the pockets and diamonds to verify. On cuts where CIT exists, using the inside of the shaft can compensate for CIT to send the OB on the correct intended angle/destination. Early on, I shot a spot shot...

cd, I have posted 45 degrees and 30 degrees is the ubiquitous 1/2 ball, CTE shot. That leaves the 15 degrees below: The 15 degree point on the OB is 1/6 the diameter from the center of the OB. If you can visualize the 3 thirds of the OB, then the 1/6 is half, but you know that. The 45...

No the ball is round and the contact points increase in degrees per the same increment as it approaches 90 degrees. Pool isn't easy. Have fun

where the line from the center of the pocket exits the OB ball as you see it is the contact point. It is in the center of the OB for a straight in shot and the edge of the circle at 3:00 or 9:00 o'clock for a 90 degree cut angle etc.. Have fun

cd, The pivot is a form of BHE with the bridge planted after the shift and pre pivot - certainly not FHE.

Wow, a question. Thanks. You need to start the aiming in the correct body/cue location or stance. When aiming systems are depicted from above and all of the balls are the same size some have difficulty in relating to aiming taking in to account perspective, fore shortening and the focal plane ...

This really should be shared on the NPR Forum...sorry.

SALUX you have over 12,100 hits.:smile:

Actually as the distance between the CB and OB changes, the relative perceived size of the OB becomes smaller or larger so the shift to the center of the OB changes in direct linear proportion - small shift for OB far away and larger shift for the OB close. No need to change your...

See post # 62. Also: Claude, You wrote: "If I aim at CCB to EOB and parallel shift at Center OB( ignoring CB) to about quarter or CB then pivot to center it should pocket balls in the 30deg (half ball range)" If you aim at CCB to Edge of the OB (EOB) that would be the contact point for a 90...

Claude, You asked: "Is your pictured system working with one cut do it all.." It works with all cut angles. I describe it more in my other thread, "OB contact point, shift & pivot ", http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=448090 Have fun.

Here is an old simple pivot system to answer a pm. Make sure that you only need the CB center to start the aim at the CP on the OB. The small parallel shift will be focused to the small OB's center - disregard the larger CB altogether. After the shift, pivot at the bridge to the center of the...

What has LAMas wrought?

A new study shows that*lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles*could have negative health and environmental impacts, and offers suggestions on how to improve this technology. The study, conducted by Abt Associates for*the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),*took a look at the...

Then again CIT does reduce the resulting cut angle a bit.

The blue angle should be 60 degrees if the balls are the same size an they are touching.

It's a matter of adjusting to proportions - stick aiming helps.
