Just started playing again after a 20 year hiatus. Before that pool, mainly 9 ball consumed my life for 25 years. This video is well done. It doesn't matter how fluid and straight your stroke is, if you are aiming at the wrong spot you're going to miss the shot. As a side note I just finished watching about half of Shane Van Boening's video where he aims different parts of his shaft at the outer edge of the object ball as a way to make shots. He might be the best 9 ball player right now. I haven't tried it yet but have high hopes that it will work.

When he said, "this is the true contact point", that was incorrect. What he meant was, this it the true center ball aiming point.

It helped a little. And maybe understanding the relationship from the cue ball to the object ball. Has to be straight, relative to whatever angle you're at. Which is usually true, once you imagine hitting straight into the ghost ball.

@jefo4213 Жыл бұрын
nice analysis but there is an easier way to explain it via the tip...when looking at the contact point, simply make sure that the right hand edge (thru the centre of the cue ball) of the tip is on the contact point then this brings the centre of the tip to the left arc which is actually the true potting point...which you explain here...great video for learning how to see a true potting line...loved it

This is exactly what I needed, Phillip! Everyone says to visualize the ghost ball, but when you get down to shoot, you're staring at an object ball and you gotta know "where" on that object ball to actualy aim. And I knew that aiming for the actual contact point didn't make sense, but finally someone is spelling it out exactly the way I needed to see, complete with the concept of using the chalk for reference. I love it and looking forward to trying it out today. ☺ Thanks for taking the time to make this video.

You're absolutely correct appointed aim is not the point of contact. Ball is round You have to practice with the ghost ball and chalk after a while it just becomes memory
@genez88885 жыл бұрын
Try this. Stare at the OB and the pocket where you would like to pocket the ball. In your mind, draw an imaginary straight line between OB to the pocket. That imaginary straight line will serve as a path where the OB would supposedly run to get a pocket. Visualize this imaginary straight line from the OB to the pocket extend a bit on the face of the OB. Draw a dot on that extension where it will serve as your aim contact point. Aim your cue ball and strike that imaginary extended dot and bang. This is so accurate. This is how Filipino players do their aiming like the great Efren Reyes

contact point and aim point are two separate things . people need to realize that. The contact point is the aim point in straight in shots ( if you don't use spin ).
@TheEarthandyou2 жыл бұрын
You got it! Also... When he said, "this is the true contact point", that was incorrect. What he meant was, this it the true center ball aiming point. I am curious. Do you sight along the contact points or the center ball.
@boscojohnny78835 жыл бұрын
So basically depending on the shot distance, CB to OB distance, type of angle, shot speed & spin etc. you would still have to compensate the contact point off of the aiming line for any throw on the ball, thereby either creating a new aim line altogether or using the original aim line if throw is offset with BHE, backspin, top etc.

If someone is successfully cutting to the left but failing to cut to the right, then it probably means either they aren't cueing straight or their head position is not centered. Clearly it's not aim otherwise there wouldn't be a left/right pattern.

Easier option ... Use the same contact point you're showing now . Go back and line up center cue ball on the center object ball and "look at the distance between the two points", (contact point and center object ball) . Now shoot center of the cue ball , the same distance "to the LEFT of your CONTACT point " on the object ball... It's always an equal distance regardless of left or right side. Center ball to contact point is mirrored to the other side of the contact point... Good Luck

Simpler way to do this...if you're cutting left aim the left side of your shaft (not the center) at the contact point....if you're cutting right, aim the right side of the shaft (not the center) at the contact point...no need to 'imagine' anything.

@JohnJohnson-zq9rg5 жыл бұрын
Not true. Because that only works for a certain angle. For other angles that will not work. So you still need to image how much you need to aim left or right of the contact point depending on the angle. So please do not spread untrue and unhelpfull tips.

@@JohnJohnson-zq9rg it works for any angle as it's basic geometry and physics. The steeper the cut angle the harder it is to visualize, but the system remains the same.

Phillip here is my question, instead of putting a ghost ball behind my object, if I just use my cue stick place the tip behind the object ball let’s say 1 inch then pivot the cue stick over the cue ball, would I get the same results as your video? Anybody who knows can answer. Thanks

You said that your friend was fine at cutting to the left but not to the right. Why is this? Surely if he was aiming at the wrong point he would miss regardless of whether it was to the left or right.

Look at the very base of the cue ball. That darkest spot is dead center. If you look at the reflection of the ferrule, center of that is center of the cb.

How far would you say your new contact point is to the left of the first contact point?
@djhyr04 жыл бұрын
try aiming the right side of your shaft to the first contact point in this video (this is for shots cutting to the right, as in this video). when you get down on your shot, imagine a line going down the right side of your shaft/ferrule, thru the middle of the cue ball (center of shaft to center of cue ball, so the right side of the shaft is actually just slightly to the right of center of cue ball), and to the first contact point. should be more or less the correct offset...minor adjustments as needed
