Objective points of aim

If there are objective points of aim, then how can someone not know where the CB needs to be for a shot?

If there are objective points of aim, then how can someone be confused on how to use the system?

With objective points of aim, there is no guessing where the CB needs to be. Its just getting it there that is the issue.
 
Greg,

It's become rather obvious, at least to me, that the word objective has been sort of 'redefined' by some for whatever reason.

If the aim points were conceded to be objective, it would still only yield a set number of outcome angles from those 'objective' points & the gaps between those objective outcome angles would need to be filled by other means, what ever one wants to call those means.

At least that is how I see it & I think others do too.

Best 2 Ya,
Rick

I don't think so Rick.

Most aiming systems have an "objective aim point"!!!!!

How can one see the tangent line without imagining where the cueball is?

ONE 'objective aim point' will not get the shooter all of the needed outcome angles without another realm or means being utilized.

But I would guess that you know that.

Although, there was mention in an old thread of Hal developing such a system & I would like very much to know more about that system.

I have an idea what it might have been but I am certainly not sure what he had in mind.

Edit: I guess I should clarify my first sentence by adding, 'at least not by aligning just center cue ball to that 'one objective aim point'.

They're not aim points, they're visuals. You don't know the aim point until after you pivot or sweep.

There is no 'MY' side.

If we take a poll of all the pool players in the world do you think YOUR side would win the poll.

A democratic majority means nothing as to right or wrong correct or incorrect.

I'm not going to list those they may not want to be listed but I think it is rather obvious that 8pack Anthony & Duckie Greg are of similar thinking as I & there are others. I have received PMs & those don't want to submit themselves to the 'attacks' for expressing their conclusions or opinions.

AND AZB is not the be all end all of pool. There are many more out there than are posting on AZB.

So...what's the point of your question?

Attempting to be Socratic in method here... could it be that there are objective points of aim but a necessity to compensate for collision-induced and spin-induced throw? Could it be that better players take aim a bit more obliquely and then add a little spin with the stroke to cinch many of their cut shots? :)
