This reminded me of an old post of mine about calibrating the amount of sidespin to get 1, 2 or 3 diamonds of crosstable angle change. Don't know how relevant it is to your main question...

Its relevant in that, that's what I do. The issue is losing or gaining CB spin depending on inside or outside English is applied, so the tip placement needs to be moved to compensate for that.
Again I think you're right I just need to practice certain shots with various hits and angles and figure it out for myself. I'm getting there after 4hours today.
