Hello,
Here I am giving my answers to some of the questions raised by the plyers from time to time.

All the answeres are based on what my Sure Shot Aiming System has been saying.

May be you have some questions to ask or you may want to argue on some of the answers given below.....You are welcome.Send an e mail at immsharma@yahoo.com.

**What is aiming?

We think that finding an aim point on ob itself is aiming.But aiming is not just finding the aim point... it is only the first part of aiming.

**Then why do we try to fix our eyes (what you call focussing) on the aim point on ob?

This we do for two reasons.1)to get the line of aim.2)out of 'illusioned fear' that we may miss the target.

**It is not just getting 'the line of aim'either.(Here I mean only the 'possible guessed line' because getting an accurate line of aim is again a difficult task.) Getting the line is again only part of aiming.

**Then what marks the END of this 'aiming'?

Our mind completes a certain 'geometric routine' sucessfully before we hit cb.This completion of the required 'geometric routine' marks the end of aiming.It takes place without our knowledge of what it is exactly.

**What is your definition of aiming?

Aiming is a mental ,visual process involving three patrs..first and the second being the known parts (aim point and the line of aim) and the unknown part ( a kind of mystic geometric routine),of which one part is simply useless without the other two.The three parts should go in sequence to maintain the correct natural rythem.

**What is the nessisity of this 'geometric routine'?

The 'geometric routine completion' is ,apart from aim point and line of aim,the most essential ,final part of aiming.Without this 'routine' the cb CAN NOT take the intended line and this results in miss of a shot.

**Is miss of a shot always due to this non completion of the 'routine?

Usually miss of a shot occurs
1)when the 'correct line of aim goes withot the final routine duely completed mentally.
2)when the line of aim is wrong,though it goes with the final routine being completed properly.

**How do we know if the line of aim is right or wrong?

This can be sensed while completing the final 'geometric routine' on the line of aim.What we sense is that if the shot is going to be positive or negetive.

**Is there a way out to find the accurate line of aim?

Yes .It can be done following a separate,simple routine.Since it is geometric it can not be wrong.

**Does conc.on the aim point alone guarantee the sucess of a stroke?

No...Because it (aim point) is only the first part of a whole.

**But..all most all players say they need to fix their eyes on the aim point while making a shot....

It is because out of practice,we get used to complete,mentally, the third unknown part (the geo.routine) un consciously or sub consciously.This leads us to a kind of illusionary conclusion that we should fix our eyes on the aim point .I mean we fix only our eyes on aim point but the mind,in undisturbed condition,keeps completing the next two parts.(the line of aim and the geo.routine).If disturbed,the mind fails to complete the next two parts or at least it fails at the third part.

**Does con.on line of aim alone serve the purpose?

No again...because by the time we get the idea of the line of aim we have coverd only two parts.,aim point and the line.The third part remains to be coverd.It is possible thinking that we are concentrating on the line alone and if this contentment allows the mind to go undisturbed,it may cover the third part .But any way it is only a thing of chance.

**How do you say that there exists this third part?

Well...It is every player's experience..at times of pressure or under compulsive situations...even after completing the first two parts successfully,yet we are bound to under go a sort of STRUGGLE to do SOMETHING MORE to make sure of our shot.This STRUGGLE is for nothing but that UNKNOWN 'third part'(the hidden geo. routine).

**Why do you think this 'geometric routine' is necessary?
While making a shot we need not only to 'feel' the line of aim, after observing the aim point on ob,but also WE NEED TO 'HOLD' THIS LINE till we strike cb.This needs the third part ..the geometric routine part ....without which the cb CAN'T take the intende line of aim and this causes a miss.I mean.....the geometric routine keeps the line of aim INTACT till we strike cb.

**What is the necessity to know the 'routine' when we can complete it naturally?

Of course....But to complete the routine naturally (without the actual knowledge of it) requires two things:
**good levels of concentration and * good levels of confidence too of which even if one is less are lacking we are bound to fail to complete the key part..the geo. routine.
But till we don't know what it is, it will be merely a kind of "chance happening".
This non awareness of it becomes the cause of all sorts of problems like..pressure,doubt,lack of confidence,fear etc etc..
Where as if we we what exactly this ket part is...
First of all we will be at ease while at the table.
We NEVER feel diffident as we are well armed with the REAL knowledge of the stroke,the required levels of the two things ...CONCENTRATION and CONFIDENCE can be SUMMONED for at all times of need.
Apart from many advantages alike,if we make a mistake we immediately come to know where actually we went wrong giving a WAY for immediate rectification,which is otherwise impossible.

**What do you think the difference between a beginner and a good player?

A beginner has to STRUGGLE for three parts of aiming ..aimpoint.line of aim and the routine completion.Whereas a player with good amounts of practice struggles less for the first two parts but struggling for the third part continues.Not only a good player ..even a pro or a champion has to struggle for this third unknown part..Their 'struggle' for it depends upon the game level of the opponent.They don't need to struggle against an opponent of lower level of game!!!

**How is that we can make a shot with our eyes closed?
We see the position of ob,cb and get a picture of the first two parts (aim point and the line) before hand and then we close our eyes ...we try to recllect the first two parts of aiming observed,and hit.If we, by chance,complete the third part ,we make that shot or we fail.

**Is your 'geometric routine' supported by any scientific evidence?

Yes.The formation of the 'geometric routine' of my Sure Shot Aiming System is based on a sci.fic (geometric)theory related to parallel lines. (I don't want to give any clue more than this)

**What about the role of stance etc?

Only stance with 'empty' mind doesn't work.I mean just correct stance alone can't make you succeed in your strokes..With just stance it self one can't become a good player.It is the mind that really plays.

**Is there a thing like a particular point on cb is to be aimed at theaim point ...?

It is again another example of illusion.There are players who believe that there is a particular point on cb that is to be made to hit ob.They are inclined to think so because of the fact that they get used (unknowingly) to complete the third key part of aiming (geometric routine) just infront of the cb it self.While hitting cb their 'view' covers cb too.Thus they form a (mis) conception that there is a particular point on cb which should hit ob.

**Does your system work even for spin and other special modes of strokes?

Yes.The geometric routine is the very essential component of any shot in the game.Spin shots or any other type are no exception.
In fact The cause of the spin of cb is the mental completion of the same geometric routine but in the opposite direction of the line of cb.!!!!!!!

Hi IMMSHARMA,

It's hard to tell from some of your abbreviations, but is "sci.fic" meant to be "science fiction"? Fiction is the opposite of scientific evidence or fact, isn't it?

If you "don't want to give any clue more than this", then what was the purpose of this post? Are you selling this information? Or are you just bragging that you know something that I don't know?

Thanks!

It is not fiction but purely scientific....
Do you mean to say I should come out with all the details of the scientific support behind the geometric routine which is a 'fruit' of years of research...??!!!!

My dear friend...It is not just you and I...It is for a kind of enlightenment of one and all cue men who are in the "darkness' of illusioned mis conceptions ...........

BTW I fogot to mention one more aspect...the cause of spin of the ball is due to the mental completion of the geometric routine but in the opposite direction of the line of cb.
 
This I'M-A-SHAM-A is a wacko. He posts this same stuff every couple of months all over the internet in/on pool related sites. His 'system' is For Sale. Send him some money only if 'you're mad at your money'. If the system were any good (or made any sense), then HE would have won some tournaments and we ALL would have heard of him..
(All of the above is IMO, of course)

Oh my... and I thought I had read it all... lol

Just because you can aim correctly doesnt mean you can stroke correctly.

An old housepro once told me that the hardest thing to learn to do is not how to aim, but how to send the cueball down the EXACT line you are aiming. This is what takes years of practice to learn. When you have a perfect stroke, you can teach yourself to aim easily. The best "aiming system" I have heard of is not really a system, but it is actually aiming for a specific part of the pocket. I learned that from pro Max Eberle. That has alot to do with position play, since the OB falling on the wrong side of the pocket can mess up your intended position for the next shot. Aiming for the part of the pocket you want the OB to fall into helps you concentrate, and also improves your accuracy, since you are not blindly trying to send the OB towards a pocket hoping it falls in. When you aim for a part of the pocket, basically you have already "made the ball", because it makes you feel that the tough part is not potting the ball, but actually getting it to go in the part of the pocket you want. Neat, huh? Max is a genius.
 
Oh, and to IMMASHAM or whatever, if you really want to sound at least SOMEWHAT credible, at least use your real name instead of a nickname, like Hal Houle, who is a really great person. Hal teaches an aiming system and he doesn't even charge, God Bless him!
 
Please tell me how many top pros have bought your system and name names. If in fact anyone has succeeded using your system it may lend some credibility. Otherwise I think all those years were wasted.

Dave
 
Ive been playing pool on and off my whole life, The last 12 years ive been playing all the time and i think i can pocket balls as good or better than anyone that ive played with. I dont use any special method i just look at the object ball before getting down, see where i have to hit the ball and follow thru to that point. I think if you play enough you can get a feel or where to hit balls i dont think you need to follow any rules to aming, thats just my opinion
 
OOPS ! Apparently, I'M-A-SHAM-A's cat got his tongue (as usual).
I have an aiming system for pool,that you use when you've had one drink too many. It's rather complicated and entails a means of leaning against the table and covering your offending blurry eye with one hand (you'll have to pay me to find out WHICH hand, though)... Life is Tough, but comedy is MURDER.. Tampa Tubby-Bob
 
Right on Smorg. When I'm drunk I shoot
real fast so I don't drop the cue before
getting the shot off. Aiming? I aim for
the middle of the balls I'm seeing two of.
 
Unfortunately, my hosting's broke at the moment so I can't bust out the pictures. :)
