I am looking for any materials on the "area method" of aiming.
Thanks

I haven't heard this name used specifically. Is it a cut shot aiming system, or is it referring to CB control for position play?
If it is a cut shot aiming system, it might be related to or the same as one of the well known aiming systems (e.g., the double-the-overlap system).

I am pretty sure that any Public Library has diagrams and even the specifications for machining all the parts for building an Atomic Bomb. The most difficult part is collecting and taking apart enough smoke detectors to accumulate enough radioactive material that is need to achieve critical mass!!!:smile:
Good luck in your search, oh and by the way you need to be at least 3.6 miles from the detonation to survey the initial radiation and the blast!:smile:
Tuck and cover!!!

Looks like you forgot to tell your dog?
Basically, the shooter visualizes the cue ball overlapping the object ball. Rather than picking a single point to focus on, you visualize the entire "C" shaped arc as defined by the outside edge of the CB where it overlaps the OB.
This gives a nice, big target to aim at.

You can use my trainer for this. See the videos on my web site by clicking my tag below. One of the videos shows the trainer and how it works.

To me, "visualizing the overlap" is simply a useful interpretation of ghost-ball aiming.
It is the same visualization used for the double-the-overlap and fractional-ball aiming systems. To me, these "systems" are just different ways of interpreting or visualizing ghost-ball aiming.
Now, consistently knowing or having a feel for how much overlap there should be for every shot doesn't come easy (and takes lots of practice). That's one reason why pool is challenging and fun, IMO.

No he is stuffed, but I still take him for walks. I have a little board with 4 wheels on it that I pull him around on. Hell a stuffed dog is better than the real thing anyway, you don't have to feed it, it doesn't shit all over the place, and it will never die like living aniamls, I think every kid should have one!!!!

I'll agree with that: ghost-balling aiming with the arc as your target.
