I started experimenting with looking at the cueball while delivering the stroke around 01-04-2013, and am pleasantly surprised with the result.
It is still working very well for me and I am now rated as a Master in the Western BCA.
My "Whole Shot Routine"(as opposed to pre-shot routine) has 3 critical steps. Almost all of my misses, can be attributed to a break down in one of these three steps.
1.) Pause at the back of my final stroke, then.......
2.) Focus my dominant eye on the exact spot I intend to hit on the cue ball, then.........
3.) Feel like I am starting my forward stroke with my fingers.

I have found that by adding the jacked up over a ball routine to my practice, I have increased my make percentage on that shot. I use a straight in shot and place a ball behind the cue ball. If I make the shot twice in a row, I simply move the ball I am jacking up over forward or backward allowing for some great practice. This drill has really helped my confidence level on these shots. This was one weak point of my game I could no longer deal with, so I added it to my practice.
Good luck
