It's just fractional aiming with a sighting of the center-to-edge line for starting orientation.
I use 90/90 for jump shots, bridge shots and combos
i have a headache......That depends on how accurately the player uses fractional references. In other words, a beginner using fractional aiming could be off with their aim line estimation by 1/8 of a ball or even 1/4 of a ball while standing. If they recognize how far off they are once they're down on the shot, then there's going to be some movement/adjustment needed.
Using a little math it's easy to determine how much adjustment (in tip offset measurement) will be needed. Let's say the player is off by 1/4 of a ball, which is quite a bit! Lol. Anyway, the ob is 6ft away from the cb and the player incorrectly lines up for a 3/4 ball hit. When he bends into the shot he sees it looks closer to a 1/2 ball it.
The alignment difference for this shot (difference between a 3/4 aim and a 1/2 ball aim with the ob 6ft away) is only 0.45°. In other words, his aim line through ccb is 0.45° too thick. This equates to a 2mm offset on his alignment. That 2mm would be a 1/6 tip pivot if he wanted to adjust by using a pivot type method. That's not much movement or adjustment when compared to using a 1/2 tip pivot.
If the ob were only 2ft away, then the required adjustment from a 3/4 ball aim line and a 1/2 ball line would be about 1.3°, which equates to about a 1/2 tip pivot if that's how the player makes his adjustment.
Math....
Angle difference in 3/4 ball aim and 1/2 ball aim for ob 6ft away: 2× atan(0.28125" ÷ 72") = 0.45°
Required pivot for a 0.45° adjustment in shot angle using a 10" (254mm) bridge: tan(0.45°) x 254mm = 2mm
A 2mm offset pivot using a 12.5mm shaft is about a 1/6 tip pivot. (2÷12.5 ~ 1/6)
Angle difference in 3/4 ball aim and 1/2 ball aim for ob 2ft away: 2× atan(0.28125" ÷ 24") = 1.34°
Required pivot for a 1.34° adjustment in shot angle using a 10" (254mm) bridge: tan(1.34°) x 254mm = 5.9mm
A 5.9mm offset pivot using a 12.5mm shaft is about a 1/2 tip pivot. (5.9÷12.5 ~ 1/2)
So do you think it’s smoother to perform a defined half tip pivot or to perform a searching for the right look adjustmentThat depends on how accurately the player uses fractional references.

They only have a vendetta against Houle and Shuffett. They care not that the system works.I wonder how many of the people who know CTE is snake oil in their minds.
Have ever invested four or five hours into using, learning, or trying to use the system.
It like those who know they hate Kiwi Flavored Vodka, but never tried yeh flavor.
How many times does information need to be posted? You're just baiting people into spending their time and effort for no good reason. My opinion...you're not a nice person, you're doing this for a perverse form of entertainment. You're not the only one that this applies too.
I must've missed where cookieman posted some. Please show me.
But for some on here the adjustments when down on a shot using fractional aiming are described as a "lizard head like movement" in search of the final aim line. Certainly that has to be more movement then a simple half tip pivot that is done on every shot.
The Truth Series PJ, watch and learn. Everyone knows you won't do that though. It's always been much easier for you to post wrong keyboard opinions.
Have you ever spent much time aiming from an offset? Watch SVB, he does it.
Yep, that's the cookieman posting "info" that I know...
And he said he cues always low because he sees the relationship from cue ball to object ball better that way.
Anyone who understands ball & tip fractions at high level may likely use edge of ferrule/shaft. These different ways of aligning, visualizing, dropping into and fine tuning to shot lines, are not incompatible with each other. I think Brian gets all this stuff very well, but you just seem angry and out to disparage anything but your own internalized perception of what others are doing.
Have you seen the video of Shane explaining his aiming system ? HAVE YOU ?
