It's ghost pockets for me, at least playing 9B. If it's call pocket anything I have to have a pinpoint contact point on the OB. You don't have to trust/see a blind pocket if you have a pinpoint contact aim on the OB. You see it or you don't. I can't explain it in fractions or any other aiming systems. Play more pool.The more I play, the luckier I get!
Depending on how froggy I'm feeling I might just pick a pocket zone, usually center, and shoot it without ever looking closely at the OB. How can a guy explain it? It splits the pocket but I'd be hard pressed to explain it in 10,000 words. Pool is easy, you see it or you don't. Aiming systems are for fish.
DA is close. Better than I could explain it.
I was trying to explain this to someone a while back - we program ourselves to hit center of pocket but that’s not a good thing, it’s more about CB/OB control. You hit the CB to control the OB.
When practicing start hitting OB’s to specific spots on the rail, not a specific pocket.
