I would like to find info on Hal's system. I searched many threads and nothing stating how it is done or what it is. Just that it works great.

Same here. I guess I'll just have to call the man, like they tell you to do. I'm kind of a shy guy, but there you go...Jason Robichaud said:I would like to find info on Hal's system. I searched many threads and nothing stating how it is done or what it is. Just that it works great.
Thanks, Ken. Even if you didn't list your occupation under your posts there would be no mistaking it.BRKNRUN said:Here is my corny way of relating the HH system to aiming...
From my perspective...The best way to really understand the HH system is to just call the guy...
Jason, your aiming systems still is very unclear to me. Your description of your system isn't very coherent. I have no idea what #3 says, and how does anything relate to #2 and #3 relate to #1.Jason Robichaud said:I will try to step through what I am aiming at…I will use the following for reference.
1.Starting position: This is a Full ball contact or pot. If you had ball in hand this is where you would place the cue ball for a straight in shot.
2.Cue ball contact point: This is what I aim at the object ball. It is not the cue stick that I aim. I get this point by aiming cue ball into middle of pocket.
3.Full, half and ¼ object ball: This is what I aim the cue ball contact point at.
If 12 oclock on the cue ball is making a starting position contact on object ball and 10 oclock is pointing at the middle of the pocket, this is what I do. I aim 10 oclock at Full, half or quarter ball on the object ball. 10 would prob be a half ball aim.

i will explain one of my three systems i use, the three BLINKS, have you ever tried it, you have to blink your eyes three times in a certain sequenceafter i do this i stick out my tongue, close my right eye cause i am left eye dominant, after this if i feel the shot is going to go in if not then i stand back up and look over the shot look to the left and to the right, then get back down and the shot always goes in
whew, lol

Jason Robichaud said:Many people on here ask, how to aim. I love the response, just take a line to pocket and hit it. Another great post, watch good players and do the same thing. Or if you can’t put a ball in the hole quit playing.
Many people in the world, except for those exceptionally gifted posters that like to discover everything on their own. Had mothers, fathers or other parental figures and schools teaching them for 18 years. I am sure they learn many different ways of doing the same thing and picked which one works for them.
The comments that they just do it, when it comes to potting balls is bull$h1t. Pro-players aim. Do they all use the same system? My guess would be no. They find what works.
Players that are playing good pick out the potting lines, contact points, or angles quickly, and yes just do it. When we are battling a bad day something to aim at is good. In the zone is good, but sometimes that zone hides really well on that small 4 ¼ by 9 table. I don’t like taking the whole match looking for the zone. I like having a reset point an aiming system.
I am not sure if center line to the pocket is an aiming system of not, but most pros I know, and I know a lot use that line, but like I said, not sure if that qualifies as a system or not.cuetechasaurus said:This is like blasphemy....saying the "pros" use aiming systems, as if you speak for all of them. Not many of them do, and the ones that do, use aiming systems for tough shots. Everything else, they don't need aiming systems, because they arent newbies that arent sure where to aim like you.
etimmons said:I read all of these posts on aiming systems and I am glad I already know how to get the ball in the hole and the cue ball where I want it for the next shot because they confuse the hell out of me. <snip> But that still seems easier than trying to figure out some of these aiming systems.
Rickw said:The full ball, half ball and quarter ball theory is not accurate. Just one example should put this dog to bed: a very thin cut on the ball when the cb and the ob are almost parallel to one another.
