Do you aim the cueball or the cuestick?
So you are aiming the cuestick at the cueball?Beware_of_Dawg said:dunno if this question makes much sense to me.
Aim the cueball to hit the object ball, use the cuestick to aim at the cueball to hit the obect ball at the predetermined target spot to accomplish desired result. FTW.

Zoltor said:No, he is saying, he aims both, the CB, and cuestick, which I agree with him, thus this poll doesn't make much sense, since you have to aim,calculate both.

So I'm assuming if you are shooting center ball you aim the center of your tip and the center of the cueball at a point, say to the center of the ghostball position? What about using side english? Can you still aim them both at the same time?td873 said:Both.

kingwang said:OK, thanks for the clarification of the question. I aim with the cueball and most advice has agreed with this (can't think of sources right now) A good player should have enough faith in his stroke that he does not need to look at the cueball and where he hits it after he lines up initially. I think this is related to the question of which ball to look at, object ball or cue ball. And the answer is usually OB.
I am familiar with backhand english. I know it can work, but I don't use it. I like to aim my cuestick. From your explanation I would say you are actually aiming just the cueball.SpiderWebComm said:You're the pro! First off... you start by forgetting about your cue position and focus only on the cue ball. Your stick doesn't matter... as a matter of fact, you could probably lean on it like a walking stick while you aim...swing in a little back hand english and shackalacka ding dong the ball magically drops.
Man, I should start giving lessons with this stuff... I bet I could make a fortune...seems like no one knows this stuff but like 3 people on this site.

unknownpro said:.... I never look at the cueball last, but I am aiming my stick - not the cueball - to a point downtable that just happens to go through the cueball.
unknownpro said:I left off both because I think it is impossible unless the shot is dead straight with center ball.
Yes. You got it.unknownpro said:So I'm assuming if you are shooting center ball you aim the center of your tip and the center of the cueball at a point, say to the center of the ghostball position? What about using side english? Can you still aim them both at the same time?
