Hi all.
When I learnt pool a few years ago I started with the ghost ball method and abandoned it after a year or two. I lost track about how I continued aiming but currently I go through a process for every shot but I don't know why and how it works.
My process:
(1) Stand behind the object ball towards the desired pocket.
(2) Look at the contact point or contact patch.
(3) Walk back to the where the cue ball is whilst maintaining my vision on the contact point/patch from (2).
(4) I automatically stop walking the moment I am on the correct aiming line
Note: During (3) I do not look at the cue ball. At most my subconscious looks at the cue ball from a peripheral perspective. I don't think of anything. I'm not aiming, I'm just walking back to the cue ball and voila I end up on the correct aiming line.
Can someone tell me why this is working?
Thanks.
Cheers.
