SALUX System: a new pivot system

This thread has almost 4,000 hits so maybe some folks are talking to others about this SALUX aiming system that is easy to get and understand.

It must be for few have asked for more information or clarification on it.
 
new vids

Hi Lamas and hi all,
It's passed quite a bit since the last time: I'm testing another aiming system but I need to go to the pool hall....and time is not enough.

I have added other demonstration vids on my youtube channel (_https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuqOCKoYsXeAvEPmlpWRs3kT84WpYo1TS).
They illustrates the basics of my system from a visual perspective. Because Salux is a visual system.

Anyway can anyone suggest me a good action camera w/o helmet to use on my head to record the aiming process?? Thanks a lot.

It could be helpful to record the aiming steps directly and see my bridge distance accurately. I don't need indeed to adjust the bridge length as suggested by Lamas but I form directly the bridge and then pivot.

Hope to read your comments.
Cheers,
Salux

The system seems to be very accurate, but to me it seems awkward, has anyone figured a way to alter it and yet still maintain the accuracy
 
Hi Lamas, thanks for your help, I do think the system is very accurate, where I am having trouble, is lining up over the spot on the front of the cue ball that is in line with the pocket. The pivoting seems natural to me, because I have done it for a long time. Are you suppose to always move your bridge back, or was your diagram just showing a close bridge for another poster? I have only experimented with it, and to be honest, haven't give it enough time to feel more natural.

You are correct.
Another poster wondered how to adjust to his normal bridge distance behind the CB for stroking and applying English...just keep your cue post pivot with your grip hand and slide you bridge back until you are comfortable.:thumbup:

Be well,
 
Hi all, I just would like to note that my system works fine with a three balls length. (Anyway I posted other vids on my channel on utube).
I prefer not to adjust my bridge after the aiming so I suggest you to find the correct distance before the pivoting phase.

Any hints to buy an action camera to record pool shoots?

In these days I am developing a new aiming system. As soon as I finalize it and prove it I'll post it here.

Use stick aiming.

- Place your stick over the center of the CB in line with the center of the pocket/target
- Observe where the that line enters the CB
- Pivot the cue with that point as the axis
- Rotate the cue about that axis until the cue is aimed at the center of the OB
- You will now be off and to the side of the center of the CB
- Now pivot the cue from your bridge to the center of the CB
- Shoot

This might work for you.

Be well.

That's correct!
You can skip the third & fourth steps using only the visualization of the CB to the pocket and remind the "A" spot on the CB when you aim at the center of the OB.

Hi all,
as promised I developed a new system I called "EDGEX" because it uses only the outer edge of the OB always and no pivot mechanism!
Please see the relative thread in this forum and enjoy.
I'll publish some videos on my Utube channel.
Cheers,
SALUX
 
To find A automatically

There is no automatic method to find A.

Yes but only few comments.....
I prefer using EDGEX system.

Now I'm working on an interesting automatic one. Keep reading...

I was trying this today. Finding 'A' not really easy as you can't see the other side of the cue ball.

True.
I look at where the contact point on the object ball and where that point is in relation to the edge or center of the OB. Find the same relationship on the cue ball - it's a matter of proportions.
 
FInding A is quite simple: you have to see the line from the pocket towards the cue ball. The intersection is A.

You can use the cue to help you.

Anyway it's not necessary to identify the right spot on the face of the cue ball you cannot see, rather it's necessary to determine on the cue ball circumference the spot which is towards the pocket "from above": when you stand up,

Cheers,

Thanks. I'll give it another try next time I go in. Do you have any videos where we can see you make a few shots using this method?
 
see in youtube "SALUX AIMING SYSTEM". but i dont know if it's enough because I havent got an action cam yet:)
 
Salux, I've been working on your Aiming and have found it intriguing. Have been a CP2CP Aimer for a long time and believe eventually I'll go right back to it, but with these useful insights to get a better "know" of how to line up the shot at hand. So far I've logged in about 20 hours on the table to get use to the different line ups and it is definitely opening my eyes. Change is not hard to accept if you pursue diligently, in about a month I should start feeling at home and be thankful I found new avenues to approach that "perfect aim" we pool players strive for and, to relax like Mosconi dictated and enjoy the game..............Larry in Marion, IN, USA.
