How much weight do you give to a numbering system for Kick shots?

they can be a part of figuring out about where to hit when you have no idea. before you can use any system you need to learn how your cueball reacts with the rails on each part of a tip english you use, and how the rails react to different speeds.
but simply learning how to get to a corner from anywhere on the table with one two or three rails will get you comfortable with kicks.
and then its easy to move up or down from that spot to get to other places along the lines of travel.
learning a number system before you can even judge where your cueball goes with different hits is a waste of good brain power as you will never figure it out or be able to use it.

Systems are not plug and play by any means. They will always be application specific. Not much else to say about that, other than it might amount to eyeball vs arithmetically stabilized eyeball.I don't mean to sound like I'm dumping on systems. They do have a place. It's best to not be ignorant on them. But like the end goal in most pool things, I think it's best to practice it until you don't have to think much about the systems. Every one of our minds work a bit differently so make sure whatever you're doing, you do you.
There is a Dead Aim Kicking Academy document that is really quite useful. At one point before taking a 10+ year break from pool I had all that stuff memorized. I barely ever gave up BIH but I couldn't make 3 shots in a row.After getting back into pool for the last several years I've not really looked at any system based stuff. It really is useful but at a certain point trying to use 20 different methods/systems just feels like being lost in the weeds. But that's one cool part about pool nowadays, the info is out there and it's fun to learn new stuff.

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that ping.
I love it! Sometimes you have to get them to look right, sometimes that takes math, sometimes imagination, and some times prayer might not even be a bad idea!
