In most aiming system (if not all), the aiming essentially is where the ghostball lies. In this new aiming system, there are essentially two points to aim at.
Point one: Centre ball to centre ball.
Point two: Aim for complete miss (or near super thin cut).
Especially for Point one, it is easy to aim for most of us. Point two is alittle more difficult.
Why is it partial? That is because the aiming system is at present, very very accurate for 0 degree to 20 degree on either side where 0 degree meant straight-on shot.
For Point two, due to the aiming point being more obscure, the accuracy drops. It is quite accurate from less than 90 degree to about 70 degree.
This aiming system makes use of Precision Potting method. You do not need good cue action and yet you can pot these with ease (regardless of distance). All you need to do is to be able to aim "centre to centre" and also "centre to complete miss (or 90 degree)".
This Precision Potting Aiming System is good only from 0-20 degree and from 70-89 degree. So far, I have not been able to expand the system such that it covers 20-70 degree with any precise accuracy.
For those who have read the Precision Potting, maybe you can help me examine as to how the aiming system can be expanded to all angles. More heads are better than one. I personally felt that half ball aim is itself ambiguous since the distance between the two balls will affect the final path of the object ball.j That is why I ended up with "centre to centre" and "centre to complete miss/90deg"
