    Seeing the contact point on the object ball.

    Often - at least on pool pockets, you can visualize the whole thing from where you stand. There are many imaging tricks not the least of which is the tangent line. You need to see the perpendicular relationship but that should be built into the way a player observes the table.

    Seeing the contact point on the object ball.

    Neither is GB. I use BHE and judicious speed no issues. You learn to visualize this: Diagram is lopsided but you get it. Once it sinks in, you can just visualize this: This depicts a different shot but who's counting. Three dots in a tilted line across the face of the ball; the highest...

    Seeing the contact point on the object ball.

    This gets an almost in my way of thinking (supported by the ways of the virtuosi of course). Mastery vs possession.

    There was one or a couple where the cue ball rocked left but if the ref missed that movement, no foul.

    If it ain't broke... Seriously, the idea with CPG is consistency. Geometry won't drift with you.

    Besides I only recognize Danny D, I don't get it. On a side note, if he wasn't the Penguin, he shoulda been.

    Another Cueball Training Device/Product!!

    I used wickets bent from coat hangers back - so long ago might be forward when lol. The main element these things reveal is the width of the ball. You may find shooting past obstacles becomes less stressful. The best (and most convenient) drill is combos.

    Seeing the contact point on the object ball.

    Dead on view. Yes. A vertical line through the point would show "the cut". The curious should note that they should try this with actual pool with 3d perspectives and like all things unknown, adaptation to the individual. (lol)

    Seeing the contact point on the object ball.

    There are always references you can use - marks on the ball, the numbers, even the silhouette if it's a solid color. The easiest reference to transfer is the cross section. When checking ball to pocket, bisect the ball. This gives you the pocket line, contact point, and the cross section. This...

    I watched the final matched and the break looked like the Ko bros break but that's all I could tell. The combos were an oddity but that's all I could tell about 'em. RR had the two bad breaks that finished her off as well. Chou is a veteran and there was probably a ton on the match. One new...

    The machine needs rigidity because it has no real time guidance. (troubled childhood etc...) but human can focus on going through the CB as effortlessly as he please. Few thousand hours of that should be worth a couple nanometers.
