First off I want to say that I happened upon this some time ago while having problems seeing the shots on the table....
Its completely possible that I didn't invent this at all, just stumbled upon old knowledge....I've spoken with a few older players that have been around and one told me he had seen something similar a very very long time ago....
All you have to do is look for where the innermost shadow (darkest one) is exiting the ball....if your cutting to the right then your looking to where the shadow comes out the ball on the left....
thats the contact point on the reverse side of the ball.....being that you aim through the contact on the CB hit on the front of the OB....
this is where its similar to the spot on the wall trick....except its the spot on the ball
once you get to where your getting closer to a 90º cut shot the method does not work if aiming with your stick like I do....you have to parallel and aim the CB edge at the shadow exit point.....that is the only change.
It obviously wont be benieficial to straight in shots either....
on the hole I think its a very good method for beginers and another good tool to have in the bag if you just can't happen to eagle eye in on the shots.....or happen to have an issue with visualizing.....
I hope you guys can understand via the crude drawing.....like I said tho I'll have it on video sometime soon...
Of course the drawings arn't to scale....but if you go on the table and test it you should be able to understand my black magic......
the darkside.......
