LOL :grin-square: Big Blue strikes again! Best, Mike

I just spent the last few hours on the 11 basic angles of Joe Tucker's Aiming By The Numbers Method. I used 10 dry 10 ball breaks to have 100 balls on the table to see what percentage of object balls fall on the 11 basic angles. To clarify, an angle is from point on a rail to a pocket. If a...

Go ahead and keep posting. You guys are bringing up some good points. LOL :thumbup: Best, Mike

This is very useful information that saves me a step in the process. Another point that's been assumed and not mentioned yet is that these 10 angles refer to one corner pocket or 40 angles for 4 pockets. Joe adds in a 4 1/2 angle to bring the total to 44 basic angles. The side pockets have 11...

Not to beat a dead horse, but for the sake of discussion, I'm going to set up a controlled sampling of the 10 basic shot angles and see what the percentage really is. Patrick's comments on the misleading part deserve a look see to get a proper ruling. I estimated and could be wrong. This may...

My pockets are 4 inch and I really like this size. I'm used to it after playing on it for years. Though it limits my packages or straight pool runs, it keeps me coming back. Geno played on it and said it was, "a brutal table to practice on." :grin: I don't even think about it anymore. Best, Mike

Patrick, No need for detention. You said what you thought. I would welcome a constructive approach from you instead of having to defend my posting. I, like you, am very interested in dissecting this game. I only try to offer food for thought and believe in the idea that two heads are better...

Well said! Without giving away Joe's actual system, this is a good description without getting into specific details. I think the real benefit of using the system isn't in the CP2CP, but instead it's the angles he's identified to get the user to start seeing the relationship between the cue...

No false starts here. :smile: Please enlighten the masses. Best, Mike

Armchair QB on a Sunday. Your intent was to disrupt with your opinion. SOP Nice try at the obfuscation, but the confusion is all yours. It's obvious you're posting for attention and when you're not the center of attention you resort to discrediting any available thread. Don't be...

And once again you denigrate a system as simply being misleading. This time you use the idea that there are too many shots in a 90 degree rectangle to allow any shot to be consistently close to the designated shot lines. I offered this knowledge after taking it to task...something you haven't...

I said on or close to the 10 shot lines. Why do you constantly disrupt threads under the guise of being the aiming system PC monitor saving all from "hyperbolic" destruction? You obviously haven't practiced the system, yet you make blanket statements on your opinion. Best, Mike

I ordered a set and am slowly learning their application with Joe's system. It has really strengthened my fractional aiming visuals by forcing me to be very precise in identifying which part of the cue ball to use for alignment. The set includes a booklet talking about the aiming system and the...

Has anybody actually used this system and have any input on its application? Joe identifies 10 basic angles to the pocket which correspond specifically to numbers or contact points on the cue ball. There are also contact points in between these numbers by using half points of contact for...

I haven't ordered the E-book yet, but the description says it's based on his Aiming By The Numbers Method. I joined his website as a member and gained access to his video of Aiming By The Numbers. Best, Mike

Yes, I use it quite a bit and the numbers can correspond to one another if used that way. That's not what this system is about. This system uses the numbers on the balls to correspond to 10 specific shots that Joe has identified. There isn't any random overlapping or contact point to contact...

That's what I assumed the first time I took a cursory look at it. He's improved on the idea of contact point to contact point aiming and identified 10 shot lines to the corner and side pockets that come up during the game. I'd estimate, with limited experience, that the shots occur on (or very...

Rick, I just started looking at Joe Tucker's, Aiming By The Numbers Method. It's a group of 11 basic angles to the pockets using corresponding contact points on the object ball and cue ball. I was pleasantly surprised to find that these angles pretty much covered a majority of the shots on the...

I found this thread in a manual search going back 14 pages. I recently started working with it and discovered there's a lot more going on than just "parallel aiming". :smile: It's been tedious to figure out, I have to say. When it starts to click though, it's really interesting. For instance...

Rick, I appreciated your baseball story. It was on point with mine and the results you get by just letting things happen and hoping you're doing everything right. For every million that take this route, only a small percentage find the correct path. Best, Mike
