Hey all, want to get your advice - in analyzing my game, one of my biggest issues is with near-straight in shots, at medium to long distance (3+ diamonds apart). These require almost a full hit on the object ball, and they are hard to aim with the ghost ball method. These are the shots with just enough angle not to go in if you shoot the ball straight, and usually I end up overcutting (by hitting less of the object ball than required) or shooting straight, either way resulting in a miss.
In the past, I've used English to throw these shots, which does seem easier some of the time but lacks consistency for me, so I want to get some opinions on the best/highest-probability method to shoot these. Do most of you use no English and just get good at aiming these ~5-degree angle (my guesstimate) shots or use English to throw these and just practice that way?
