I just showed you two shots. And the second one is what ur asking already look at pictures again brother.....you keep asking about overlaps Larry I'm telling you to stop looking at that my boy. You need to worry about that point. These tight cuts you can see overlaps and obviously you can use them but if you. Are aligning correctly which is we're we really aim....it's of no consequence as to the overlap you see. I'm trying to teach you all to use your darn cue and some just keep talking about the balls. I can't make it any clearer than to say this is why many struggle. Aiming boulders ain't the same and has nothing to do with the method. Remove it from your brain please.
In the last one I'm putting a little high inside on it . My aim point never changed

One thing that may help some is forget the QB.
Put an OB on the spot. Place your stick in the kitchen directly inline with the OB.
Aim your stick, either center, left or right at the sharp ">" on the other side of the OB. You can see right away that if the cue hit that ">" that the OB would not be pocketed.
Move your body either right or left until you see a ">" that if hit would pocket the ball in one of the corner pockets of your choice.
If you have never explored stick aiming thru the QB this may be difficult for you to see.
Don't give up. Its a good method.

Meaning shooting the particular ob into arbitrary spots duck?

talked to grey ghost today
had the object ball on the foot spot and the q ball on the head spot
made the shot
while we were talking i kept the ob ball on the foot spot
and moved the q ball to where i would usually shoot a spot shot
did my aiming from the pat point
forgot about how i would usually aim
AND MADE THE SHOT....
.....
cant say i am a convert but i am willing to put more table time into it to test/try it out

As usual : topic 100% failed.
Nah....I'm not and never did this or figured anything much less worked for "Greg"
Plenty have contacted me personally without even getting me on video or seeing them and just walked me through over the phone. If I can teach a method over the phone, what does that say about it at a minimum?
That it's effective and NOT COMPLICATED

Keebie is right, this is not complicated. In fact it's pretty obvious once the method is brought to your attention.
Use what ever aiming method you use to pocket an OB, once down and ready to shoot glance down at the back shadow point and see how it aligns with your cue shaft, right, middle or left. Thats all there is to it.
Pretty simple, but if you don't know, ya just don't know.
On very thin cut shots, there are two shadows, one dark and one light aim at the light one.
Over time you will find yourself double checking your aiming method with the shadow method to confirm the QB path.
Have fun, it's all about learning.

The world of pool consists of a variety of shots.
Cut shot
Rail first
Bank, ....1,2,3 or more
Kicks.....1,2 rails
Combo.....2, 3 balls....
Caroms
Caroms to a Combo
Combo to rail first to OB
Bank kick shot
Bank to a combo
This is just to name a few.
So, how come it is just the cut shot that is used for how great a system is?
How come none of these other shots are used to show the greatness of a system?
I'll answer......cause those shots listed shows the weakness of most, mainly all aiming systems but one and that one is a secret.

That's a good question you raised. If you use, say, Dr. Cue's X-bank system or my triangle system for banks, after identifying the point on the rail where the object ball must strike... you have to cut the object ball to that spot.
Same with a kick... the cue ball must hit a rail target akin to an object ball target.
