I don't care. This isn't an accuracy test. It's nothing more than getting the eyes and brain trained to see the edge of the CB linked to A, B, C. Shooting and missing with it is just as good as seeing balls go in. Soon it becomes obvious why before even pulling the cue back for the start of the stroke. Let me say it again...it's a drill and way to get used to the eyes going directly to the CB Edge for ABC on the OB. Nothing more and nothing less. Made balls and missed balls are all good at this point.It would be surprising if more than a few fractional shots go in. For instance, at just 2 feet from the pocket less than 1 in 4 will go (and that's with corner pockets at least 5" wide).

It's also not a contact point on OB/CB and linking them up. It's getting away from that.
Or you can get Joe Tucker's Contact Point training balls and system. I drove up to see Joe 3 times some years back and spent hours at the table with him on this. Joe has contact point aiming down better than anyone out there with his entire system.You can see it on the face you are looking at and estimate the offset at the front of the ball. If you envision an ellipse corresponding to the equator, it's pretty easy to line up the exact reciprocal points with no further geometry or drafting.
