i'm on a quest,as most of us are,to greatly improve my game.
the one thing i feel i have to work on is my ball pocketing consistency.
so of course i try different aiming systems.the one i rely on the most is the fractional ball method.it works but i sometimes have a hard time deciding where to hit the ball.
so i started thinking about mistakes ppl usually make when they are first starting out like lining up a shot by aiming center to center.now i know this won't work because the aim line and the contact point are different.but it got me thinking,why not just aim center to center and adjust.
i've tried it by aiming center to center and then pivioting oh so slightly to the contact point and it worked,especially on long cut shots.
what puzzles me is that it doesn't work on all shots.so my question is 2 parts.
1. when it works is it working because when i pivot am i imparting sidespin on the cue ball thus throwing the o b in?
2.why doesn't it work on all shots?
