EDGEX: a new aiming system -- by Salux

Hey guys it seems there is great confusion:

1) Lamas is explaining you the SALUX system (my first PIVOT system)
2) in this thread I'm explaining the second system EDGEX (in this one you have to SLIDE the cue to the center of CB).

They are different!!!!

In the EDGEX I proposed a tip to aim:
-put the cue tip behind the A point
-pivot the tip while you move the body until you see A point connected to the edge of the OB. (The cue is pointing to nowhere. Who cares.)
-from that visual and with that cue angle, slide the cue to the center of CB. That's the real line of aim.

I hope to have cleared the point:)

The images from posts #6 and #14 conflict with where the cue is pointing. It looks like in post #6 you are pointing the cue along the line from A to the outer edge before parallel sliding to the right. In post #14 you appear to be pointing the cue along some other line outside of the object ball that intersects not with point A but some other point that is on the cue side of the cue ball. I give up. Anyway, good luck.
 
Yes, the first method is the standard one. The second is equally valid and represents an alternative.
The point here in my system is to connect A to the edge. That's it:)
