Natural aiming only happens when you are not thinking about aiming. Aiming is not natural until it can be done just like walking, Done without thought.
Anything else is unnatural.
Gees, everybody just save your money for table time. That is the only way to become a natural player.
I mean what is it always said after all these systems and books and such......you still gotta spend time at the table.
There is so much free info about how to play pool that your money is better spent on table time.

Duckie,
I understand the good intent of your post and I think that you are right in certain respects as to how it feels to realize youve just put several racks on your opponent and stop and think----Wow how did I do that? Was that me?
Getting on that type of roll is something that gives us a kind of high and then you feel as if you arent aiming you are just rolling from shot to shot and that is exactly the state that I am trying to bring a player to in my book. That is an idea we have after weve done it, but there are thought processes involved, some of them decisions we make concerning shot making.
Some people have no reference point that they can see and understand to be able to reach that point and because of it, some never attain it and perhaps a lot of them do not have the time to donate to something that they think is supposed to be a natural nirvana they cannot seem to hit. Still they try regardless of their other world responsibilities they love the game and would like to be so much better at it but need a few clues.
That is the state that I have concentrated on bringing a player within the steps and methods within this book. At a point I want the player to be able to glance at the situation and just roll through the decisions quickly getting out on their opponent.
From what youve written I hope that you are able to attain that state on a regular basis, where you operate seemly without thought and are able to roll from shot to shot making few errors and continually getting out.
The purpose of my book is to provide easy methods to understanding the things you need to in order to hit shots and then you can think a little more about getting position which is the true key to the game.
Shot making skill is just one thing. Not everything.
I think it would be a wonderful world if no thought were required to play this game but I think that getting on a roll with some organized thought that comes easy is the key to it all. That is what you will find in my book, ways to aim, ways to organize those thoughts that enable you to hit the roll while planning your out and getting there.
Sincerely,

The alignment piece stands pretty good on its own for being able to start the roll from shot to shot but is a premethod that gets you started right where you start seeing the adjustments you need to make. The aiming methods I bring enables you to better do this and you are able to see and feel the game which is exactly what good players are able to do.
I think youre thinking is right on the money and that is where I want my reader to be when Im done with them.
