Donald Trump on cheese..

I won't disagree with this.. however.. some aiming systems are actually easier to learn. Aiming systems saying to preform a bunch of antics before you aim at the OB, or look for more than 1 aiming line, are only making the learning process harder.... Again IMO .

About 50 years ago I gave my mother-in-Iaw a round cutting board for her birthday. One side said something similar about getting "a round tuit".. She was NOT happy. .

. Very much like a tunnel. The tunnel is wide, but the opposite end looks narrow. .

. Brian - I think the way aiming is described in this book is subjective to each reader. Not going to post a picture but look at Fig. 39. Does he aim CCB to OB aim point? That's why I think he says to aim through CCB to find the aim point, or OB contact. After he aims to hit that point on the...

From the book.... the bottom paragraph on page 54... "The lines in Fig. 42 indicate how the ball would travel to the pocket on a faulty aim - a too-full hit on the object ball, in this case." That's what I read when looking at the picture... Fig. 42 on page 55. ------------------------ Perhaps...

I believe on page 53 he is only showing how you can find the CP by aiming through CCB. On pages 54 & 55 he then explains how CCB aiming to OB contact point is too thick a hit.

The first image is from page 52 in his first book.. copyright 1948,1959 In other pages he shows how to find contact points through center CB. He stresses the importance of hitting the CB centerline for most shots.

The 2nd image in post #1 shows the dashed CCB aim path... The path of the CB edge is not parallel to the dashed line of the CB centers. That isn't because the cue ball edge doesn't run parallel to the CB center. The CB looks smaller at a distance while CB centers stay centered. .

He talks fractionally but says to move a little bit further. He doesn't say how much. At 2:00 he tries to miss the 7. His brain is so instilled to compensate.. he makes it. I don't believe he used the ghost ball to visualize cut shots. He was a great player. Bruswick paid him to play. Golf pros...

Using parallel lines is OK, but to connect those lines is problematic unless your angles are small. My drawing wasn't computer generated either and also is somewhat guesswork (As is all aiming) What I do show is a CB much larger than the OB. The center of both, the large CB & small CB is...

The first image shown is from page 75 in the book 'Winning Pocket Billiards' by Willie Mosconi. For a long time after I bought this book I tried to align imaginary stripes on both the CB and OB. I never had much luck doing that. Not that I can run 526 balls or 50 but I think image 2 is better...

I need to consult a psychologist... I thought it must be a book about an oral hygienist... .

Did you actually look to see her monkey?

. Playing on the lemon... or stalling.... Happens all the time, at all levels. From sfbilliards web site... Stall: As in "Joe get off the stall, I know you're a better player than this." The person is playing below his ability in order to obtain a more favorable match at a later time...

I do have one brother-in-law that is Irish. Him you might call the original Irish joke. :poke: .

That's that's the problem.. Today's hyper-sensitive environment. Not the same type of environment I grew up in. My wife's family is Polish. Mine is Swedish. I tell Polish jokes and they tell Swedish jokes, and no one feels hurt. It's not the environment of the majority that is hyper-sensitive...
