Seeing the contact point on the object ball.

Well I see 4 pages but only read 1. The gold nugget I got from a top Portland player, he called "The Big Eye". First.....Imagine the shot.
When what I saw down on the shot matched the image, fire at will. Imagine success while imaging kind fits the power of positive thinking. But I never read that book.

That's how it starts. All good until you start to notice the fail points. Incidentally, the devil cornered success so you got that to deal with as well...

Oh one more shot - at the speckled ball. I know CPG works but unless those symbols are magic, they just complicate the visualization.

My fear of consequences far outweighed the lust for rewards. Motivation can move a mountain. Make run Fast too.

Yeah I try to keep the golden rule um, in sight.

Could you go through the steps of geometric alignment one more time, please?

Just the alignment or actual steps in shooting pool? (I already posted enough diagrams. )

Ok, look up Wei's center point roll, (my term not his) and Jimmy Reid's equal angle opposites for starters.

I can’t find any of that
I’m asking you to teach me how you see things
If you want to do it in a private message, that’s OK

I see things pretty much as diagrammed except in 3D. The shooting part is down the stick centered but that's separate and too much text anyway. I use aerial marks (like DD's peace sign and other gestures) which allow me to do the visualization for many shots from behind the cue ball. For instance you can nail the tangent line using the edge of your hand right in front of your face. you can move it around to check all kinds of stuff no foul.
In short, I've done a lot to calibrate my PSR to the geometry. Generally I consider the stick itself a component of the shot and getting "chambered and locked in" is very high priority.
