OK, heres a simple aiming system video

Do you recognize that this is an "approximation" system, and not "geometrically accurate" as described?
That doesn't mean it "doesn't work" - it means it works like all aiming systems: by giving you an easy way to get close to the actual cut angle, from where your subconscious can more readily estimate the needed adjustment - just like fractional aiming, for instance (or CTE, although I risk being struck by Cookielightning for saying that here in the Church of CTE).
Good luck with it.

Unless you move your bridge hand it seems like you're applying BHE, no? My experiment with it worked on some, some not so good.
Interesting! Baby cousin to SEE TEE EEE?
Be careful, its acronym is STD! LOL
It’s amazing to me anyone can play with 3 aim points for all shots. I have not tried any aiming system for a few years now. The one linked by the video I simply can’t fathom how it could possibly work, thus, I will this go to the table and try it. It certainly seems easy enough to understand the person’s direction. I will video my experience and report back.
its effective for me, i threw out 8 balls last night, didnt look at any pockets, worked great
I'm guessing it's the "pivot" that works for you - a deliberate linear "scan" of the possible cut angles until your subconscious says "Eureka!".
However it works, it's great that it does - mazeltov!

Well I just tried it. Same results as when I tried another aiming system on here a few years ago. Some balls go in, while others miss by a diamond.
The first system he had of an almost straight shot was to aim full ball hit, then pivot to 25 or 75 percent. For me, it only worked for even fuller shots than he showed in his video. My pivot I guess did not cut the ball as much as his.
His other two systems left no room for interpretation of pivot amounts, as there was no pivot. One was center cb to edge of ob. The third was edge of CB to edge of OB. As expected, these shots produced a very specific cut angle. Anything that was not that angle, did not go.
Not worthy of video recording, imo.
