Hi. Looking for stuff to bump. Saw this:

Caught my eye because I use stick aim. Not that ^ convoluted stuff but actual aiming with the stick.
Simply, start with the ghost ball. Instead of getting down immediately, sight and stroke the shot in the air. I don't mean that warrior schtick of stroking 45 degrees out into space and then swooping in for the kill. What's that for anyway? I mean stroking at the actual shot except above the cue ball. From here you can establish your actual cue line, carom line, secondary collisions, whatever you need to know about what you are about to shoot, without committing. If you feel like a tard doing this, here's the retarded part: You can actually practice the shot in this manner till you're confident you got it. (don't worry your brain will catch on quick) If you get far enough to get the hang of it - 2 minutes maybe?, you can look for contact points or fractions or sex math - whatever floats your boat. No one will ever call foul and you might actually start making stuff that's been giving you trouble.
