Spheres look like disks with the circumference as it's edge to a one eyed man.

Good post. What are your observations on Global Warming?

BC21, Nice diagram. So if you can see the contact point on the OB, just double the distance to the out side from that point to the center of the OB. PJ's diagram: Because of geometry, it doesn't work when the CB and OB are too close together. Have fun.

Thanks for sharing.

How about covering the angles greater than 30 degrees to 90 degrees?

Maybe this will help. http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=412435&highlight=CP2CP

It is very accurate as long as your shaft on the green line is parallel to the red line. No pivot required. if you miss the shot, it was that your green line wasn't parallel. It is a geometrically correct method. I called it CP2CP.

Yup, cut induced throw CIT will alter the geometrically correct angle (thinner) and must be compensated for with a different contact point a bit to the outside with a center CB hit.

Dan White, Here's an example of how Ghost Ball and Double Distance aiming are related: Illustrations by Patrick Johnson. Notice the perceived length of the yellow line from the contact point to the center of the GB. It is the same distance from the CP to the center of the OB. Doubling the...

AZ, NPR Aiming Conversation is a Peer Review.

If one can see the line going through the 12:00 and exiting at 6:00 like with the cue (stick aiming) and another line going from the center of the OB to the center of the OB, there will be an included angle except for the straight in shot - same line. One can learn where to offset the shaft/tip...

Very good but he did drop some secret sauce on the table.:):thumbup:

The diagram is at the same bridge distance for all shots and was why I studied how to shift the cue to the side the correct distance without having to vary that distance of the bridge behind the CB. All shots can be made with the correct cue tip/shaft/cue PARALLEL shift to the side pre-pivot...

I like the explanation of how to find the contact point From above the OB, look at the point that is closest to the pocket/target - that is 12:00 Oclock and the contact point is 6:00 Oclock. CTE with tip offset, bridge distance and pivot systems are useful for those that can't find the 6:00...

Welcome back. Post well.

"...and the slithy toves. Did gyre and gimble in the wabe." Have fun and be well.

Make a hand sketch on a napkin and take a .jpg picture and post it so I can see what you want. Thanks in advance.

I can't see into the center of the GB like I can see the tip of my cue.

Adjustment are necessary to play pool.

Yes I know and use what you descrbed - I like it at times.:smile: Be well
