Dave, you make some good points. Of course I may be partial at this point... But this is what I can't yet reconcile for myself either.
I'm following instructions to align visually and physically, I'm pivoting to center (manual or Pro 1), and the balls drop. From everywhere, including banks. And for shots in a similar range of angles, I'm using the same alignment and pivot and making them all. And I certainly do not have any conscious feeling (forgive using that word) that I'm doing anything different on any of these shots.
I too don't even know where the "feel" or fudging would come into play. And because of this consistent alignment and pivoting and my confidence in it (which is results based), I no longer care when I overrun position and have a slightly tougher or longer shot, or a more extreme angle, since I'm just executing the shot the same as if it was straight in.
If it turns out it's just a visual trick of sorts, great, I'll trick myself all day long. I just don't see it. Yet I also don't see how geometrically it can work either, only difference is unlike some others I took it to the table instead of arguing about it on paper or based on theory. That's the rub - it can't work, but it does. And the debate rages on...
