Here is an aiming system. Like all aiming systems, it is not perfect. My question is: How bad is it? In particular what is the worst error you will have on common shots? What situations really cause it to break down?
The system is this:
There is a spot on the object ball that is the farthest from the pocket.
There is a spot on the cue ball that is the nearest to the pocket.
Send those two spots directly at each other.
(To clarify what that last sentence means: Join the two points on the two balls by a line. Align your cue stick parallel to that line and through the center of the cue ball. Shoot straight along that line without side spin.)
Extra credit for pointing out which book this system appears in.
