Strange aiming.

Watch Chun Lin in red at 30:09.
She has a cut to her left and starts parallel aiming at left side (to her) of the CB and the left side of the OB - which would be wrong, but she moves her back hand to her left and tip to her right across the face of the CB to the right side (to her) at contact pocketing the OB.

What kind of aiming is that?

Be well
 
I heard she has an aiming dvd in the works, be out this summer. :D
God forbid anyone aligning off center on the cb...:)

She won the tournament...it was grand. Some posters here have mentioned her unique technique. They must have her Championship DVD and understand Mandarin.

Be well.
 
That seems correct for 90/90 type aiming. In that situation, it would be left edge to left edge, pivot to center. She's just combining the last step.

Could be.
Thanks for the link - nice presentation.
90/90 doesn't rely on the contact point on the OB. I presume one must know the included angles instead.
Are there only 3 shots? Are there different cue positions for the infinite different angles?

No, there are just those 3 shots. Other stuff like when to use what alignment (dependent on angle and distance), how to pivot etc., is on the DVD.
 
I believe so and agree with Satori. She hit to cue ball a tad left of center and not right of the vertical axis.
 
Shortened it up a bit:30:11
Kinda looks like 90/90.

So at the last, shee looks at the Cb to make sure she is hitting it's center.
Thanks

I don't have time to watch DVDs. I'm still looking for time to watch Breaking Bad season 4 that my daughter got me for Xmas.

Does it have moving the tip from left to center on the last stroke?

Thanks
Be well.
 
To me it looked like she aligned TOI and then pivoted to center/TOO on delivery. The rest of her shots were slightly outside English, so I don't think she's a TOI devotee...

That's what I thought but in a single "sweeping" motion it is hard to tell if she was TOI or right of center at contact.

Be well.

You are correct. :smile:

Some pros do this. If I can find a youtube match I'll post it.

Found one Robb Saez at about 24:45

He ends up beating SVB.

This isn't 90/90 aiming or TOI in any form I use. It looks a lot more like what Busty, Rob Saez and even Chris B. do at times on various shots. They address the cue ball opposite or away from the spot they want to hit and cross over the cue ball on the finish stroke.

I've seen many amateurs doing this over the years, but never got it to work at all for me. I don't see any advantage to it, but leaving the traditional stroke behind has its merits at times. It gets the creative side going for the advanced players.

Best,
Mike

Those three always cue at the left side of the CB at first, not opposite of where they want to hit it.
