It has been said often that snooker players don't use aiming systems and that no one in snooker ever talks about aiming.
Well here are many videos where aiming is in fact discussed. If you would like to do what snooker players do there is plenty of instruction on the fundamentals on YouTube. No one is trying to stop you from trying any of this.

A comment on this video:
"I purchased this sightright board on the strength of this video as I have major problems seeing the centre. On a good day I can knock in 50. On a bad day, I'm putting side on the ball and can't knock in 10. I have astigmatism. So when I look down the line, I see a 'V'. So where does that leave me? Ps I'm a big Davis fan, but mr nugget, what do you do if you have 2 focal points?"
