I always just figured it was because I hit it bad.
Tor Lowry hit the nail on the head when he said pool players learned the game by simply trying to pot balls. This is why aiming systems are so in demand in pool. Sloppy fundamentals are OK as long as you are using the aiming system of the moment. I've never once been taught an aiming system in snooker. The ones that claim to have one are usually shitty players. Once you learn to do what's in the videos by the op you realise you hardly, if ever aim a shot wrong when you concentrate, and can always narrow your misses down to one of the 5 golden rules. People should try the length of the table between 2 balls. I've done this since being a kid but hit it through an elephant extension which is slightly wider than a ball and tried getting it to bounce back through it. My record is only 7. It's harder than it looks but tells you exactly how you are approaching the shot.
And the statement that people who claim to use them are bad players is not only too broad it is also wrong. No need to make this another debate on aiming systems but both of your statements are not correct.
You guys in England seem to think that no one here teaches or practices proper stance and stroke fundamentals. In fact every qualified instructor does.

Or that wasn't the focus of the lesson.Here's a link to a video I've never seen discussed here before. This guy reputedly hits 'em pretty good, concentrating mostly on stance, grip pressure, stroke, and how he hits through the white ball. He never once mentioned the importance of aiming the shot, never mind how it should be done. He must be using a top secret aiming system he isn't ready to share with the world.

The hardest part of this game is hitting the cue ball right all the time .
The pros are pros b/c they do that most of the time .
You can get away with bad stroke and fundamentals in pool.
I have not seen a snooker player with bad fundamentals .
Fkkrs shoot straight and stay down.

You've tried too hard to read what I posted. I mentioned about the players who use aiming systems in snooker being bad players. I've never come across anyone who claims to use some aiming system in snooker that has beaten me.
I know plenty of instructors just on this site that promote fundamentals over anything else to improve their game. All aiming systems do to a person with Sloppy fundamentals is add confusion to their game. They don't know if the aiming system is gold because they don't regularly make balls, or whether it's a rusty bit scrap because it's messing with their alignment and causing them to ruin a perfectly good cue action. Even just on this site you see people clinging to the faintest bit of hope that their system will improve them. It won't. The hours they spend trying to master a system could have been spent working on delivering the cue properly, and in that time they would realise you don't need a system, aiming is easy, delivering the cue and firstly aligning the cue is the hard part.
My apologies. I didn't realize it was in the snooker context. I stand corrected.
