I would like to discuss the two systems. PLEASE!!!!! I am not interested in debating whether or not aiming systems work. I am only interested in knowing if anyone has studies both systems....
If you don't like aiming systems, if you not studied these two systems, if for ANY reason you have a better or different system PLEASE discuss them in a different thread.
I would only like to compare the two systems...
I found Samba, sighting and aiming method from the billiard academy, interesting. The initial shots used were all easy to see how to use this method.
In comparison, the first four shot, 1a,1b,2a,and 2b use a different alignment. But in the 90-90 system you use only one alignment 90-90. This makes the 90 system much easier to master at first glance.
In the Samba method every 15 degrees you have a different alignment system. In the 90 system you align the same way for each 90-90 shot until the angle gets too steep. You then align 90 to center.
For the Samba alignments 3a and 3b you would just use 90-center.
When you get away from the initial shots Ekkes starts out with, and you then start moving the balls, either cb, ob, or both you have quite a bit calculating to do. Most of these shots are just 90-90 alignment. No calculating, just 90-90 until you get to 90-center shots.
My conclusion in that although both systems work, the 90-90 systems is much easier to learn and use.
