Name These Overlaps

[Patrick Johnson]

Saw this on Facebook and wondered if you see it like I do: except for the “full”, "1/2" and “thin” hits, I think they’re backwards - the fraction should describe the amount of overlap, not the amount of “revealed” object ball.

They nailed the Full and the Very thin hit And the 1/2.

 

[straightline]

I start with the contact points so the fractions are irrelevant. Always in the middle of the overlap.

Bass Ackwards for sure.

Yep

A half ball hit is actually hitting the inside quarter contact point of the CB with the outside quarter contact point on the OB. A full hit is hitting the middle with the middle. I understand fractional hits but I'd rather think in contact points. Either way works but I like the pinpoint.

For me, lining up the points is as resolved as aiming gets.

Undoubtedly incorrectly labeled. The new Full is Flat.

They'd all be flat hits to me.

I agree…..it’s like teaching people to paint by numbers and pretending you’re developing the next Leonardo da Vinci.
….speed and spin are crucial considerations.

Def backwards. Probably some idiot used chatgpt to make a picture and try to get hits on his account.

they look like overHANGS to me......

All those lines and percentages confuse me. I just put those 2 lil spots together. Somehow it works every time. Must be magic or sumpin.

My overlap system. The New Moon is a secret so don’t ask

I'm a contact point aimer too, but I can see how combining that with a fractional "map" could be good for ease and consistency. Maybe it doesn't have to be one or the other. Maybe it shouldn't, ideally.

The red lines depict the hit - where I started with CPG. They create reciprocal sections and are pretty simple to visualize. Fractions if desired can now be named according to CP location.

When you hit right English, it spins left, and toilets flush in the opposite manner. That region of the world was unknown to Coriolis.

In memory of easy pool tutor, I learned a couple things there; branched off into Batang Tirador IINM. Early Biado, Ignacio and a couple others.

Use whichever works for you. A smorgasbord if it puts balls in the hole!!
