print out cutting aid?

[Skytex]

I saw a video on the apa youtube channel where he used a piece of paper that he sat the object ball on with the line pointing to the pocket and another spot where the ghost ball should go. Im looking for that aid so I can print it out for my wife.

Cannot find one with a cut out atm but this at least gives you the dimensions.... I think Bob Jewett has one that shows you can print and has an actual cutout but I can't seem to find it easily...

I have several that I made and which are laser cut. You can print them and use scissors to cut them out. Also you can find several more here

Yes something like http://billiards.colostate.edu/resources/ghost_ball_template.pdf is what I am after. I suppose that will get the job done, but I'd love to have a nicer one I could print off of some cardstock and keep in my cue case for her. She doesn't visualize as well as I so this will help her immensely.

My sincere advice though would be to get off Ghost Ball as fast as possible and go straight to CTE/ProOne.

www.justcueit.com or look up Stan Shuffett's videos on YouTube.

The learning curve is greater but the payoff in accuracy and shots in your arsenal is immense.

If your interested in what a world class, hall of famer, someone than ran over 700 in 14.1 suggests to use, give this a try

Keyword, had. What he had to say back in 1950 was in a book for beginners. Ghost ball is fine for beginners Duckie. In a book aimed at beginners I would also advise them to start out with it.

In the modern world we know of many other methods of aiming other than ghost ball that are far more effective. Which is why I said my advice is to move to one of them as soon as possible.

Also the Arrow template is also decent. But in a game you cannot use it.

You can use CTE/ProOne all the time no template needed.
