For years, everyone I knew starting a run in 8 ball or straights, tried to start with a cinch shot that was either straight in or a cut that was a half ball hit.
With that half ball lineup, all you had to do was aim through the center of the cue ball at the object ball edge to make the shot. That was something the old guys taught all beginners. 1/4 ball was easy to lineup on also.
The difficulties on cuts started when the shot was a 3/4 hit. Then 'cling' came into play and caused many hits to be too thick...which meant using outside English to offset the 'cling'.
In your experience, do these systems allow for the 'cling' factor...(regardless of which system is used)..?
This thread is about poolology and better left for Brian to answer regarding his method. Maybe he sprays or treats the balls with this before playing.
