The only 'system' that anyone should ever use is.....exact equal opposites...as explained in my dvd series. Best of Luck !!!!

That's interesting but there are 7 to 8 degrees of angle between each one of those. What about all of the other angles in between each one of them?
champ,
I have been playing for 46 years since I was 13. That's a lot longer than SVB & I have hit a lot of balls as well, as has yery many of the AZB population. I just get down on the shot & shoot. That being said, we all use some form of aiming 'system', even though it is subconscious. For me, when a shot is tight with cut on it, I occasionally revert back consciously to my way of aiming just to re-enforce what I am seeing. I would think that SVB shoots many many shots, a high percentage of shots, without the use of any conscious aiming system. It is probably only certain shots that he consciously employs 'his' system.
Just my thoughts,
You need to get different diameter ferrules for those.:smile:
Haha....now that is funny. E-mail predator, maybe they can come up with a "dynamic ferrule" for their next generation of shafts!![]()
I may be tempted to sell different thickness/s ivory cylinders to slide over your existing ferrule for the angles in between.:wink:
Happy Holidays sir.

I use that system and switch from a z2, 314, 12.75 and a 13.00 shaft when playing all the different angles :smile:
My contention is every good player has an aiming system and in nearly every case it is subconscious or automatic and most of them would have a hard time explaining it in terms someone else would understand. They don't just randomly aim.
You're right, every great player has a way of connecting the two balls together before they get down on the shot. I talked to Shane about his "system" and he likes to use the bottom of the object ball for that connection and measures with his tip. Using the edge of the shaft is more about creating the correct head position and shot perception. {imho}
I like using the bottom of the OB, especially on long shots and it's better for players that get down low on the cue. There's a shadow on the bottom of the ball that works very well to use as a "connection point." Theres more than one way to do this, so if you think there's a "magic way" that all the top pros use, that's a fallacy.
The one common denomenator is the "aiming" is done above the shot, not after you're down on it. At this point it's about the "feel" of the connection, not visual, and many players (including myself) are just "aware" of the object ball's presence.

This way of using the ferrule with ball fractions is another "reference angle" system like fractional and pivot systems*. They all have gaps - the reference angles are for orientation and comparison.That's interesting but there are 7 to 8 degrees of angle between each one of those.

Of course " Equal opposite" but how do you mark the OB?

*Similarities: fractions x 2 sides of ferrule = fractions x 2 pivot directions.
Actually, Stan, I think you say this because you don't understand.There are no gaps in CTE PRO ONE, Pj. You say that because you do not understand CTE PRO ONE.
