He did.
No way Mosconi did not visualize two balls colliding for cue ball control and pocketing.
The late tournament director here ( Wayne Norcross ) , and former road sparring partner of Mosconi told me they all just used ghost ball. That one infamous diagram was already called as erroneous by Billiards Digest eons ago.
Wayne demo'd shooting balls lined up in the kitchen controlling the cue ball for the next shot.
He then said Irving Crane bet he could clear the line of balls and then back for the next line of balls using draw on each ball .
The great players know where the cue ball has to be to pocket ball and control it . One pro announcer said they can make that cue ball within 5 degrees of the intended path almost all the time .
Prove It..............Haha....nice try. A year ago you said nothing about "misleading" info in Mosconi's book.
I remember well. You incorrectly said his book was about fractional aiming and contained complicated math, and you ignorantly associated my book with it, called it "gobbledygook" or some odd thing like that (still laugh when I think about it, and how wrong you were about Mosconi's material containing fractional aiming info.) Like I told you then....his book has no math, no lessons on the traditional 5-line fractional aiming. There is ONE illustration he used to show cb-ob relationships in a fractional manner, but that's the extent of any fractional aiming in his book. You were wrong then. You are wrong now. :thumbup:

Another genius reply highlighting your ignorance on this little Mosconi book came in the same thread with post #134. You said Mosconi put the fractional stuff in his book as filler to sell it...lol. There is no fractional aiming in his book, besides the ONE illustration showing the basic cb-ob relationships for cut shots. Anyway, you went on to add......
Seriously, I still laugh thinking about the first time I read that! Lol

Yes, it appears so! Lol
The drawing in the attachment shows a dashed line for the "Cue Ball" center.
The CB edges do not run parallel to the CB center. The CB is smaller when at
a distance. The CB center stays centered. The CB edges change to OB sizes.
