Need help please!

First of all I apologize for my English. Not dominate the language very well and serve me the help of an automatic translator. Only ask for a little tolerance and patience on your part.
I practiced without any method of aiming just so instinctive and natural and do not feel very comfortable with this method.
Because it im trying and find other solutions that might help me see more clearly and precisely the OB point contact.
I recently found a method (following the outline attached) that seemed cool and come this way to ask for help from more experienced about what you think.
What do you think will it work? It is worth practicing this method or should I give it up because it's a waste of time and will delay my progress?
I apologize if I come cause some inconvenience and thank all those who can participate and help.

Thank you very much.

Hi 100-Nick.
I've looked at the attachment and think that the 'S.A.M.' theory will actually hinder your progress. It seems to be designed with American 9-Ball pool in mind, and does not reflect the accuracy required in snooker.
Also, it's hugely over-complicated and prevents you from letting your brain do the work for you.
The ghost ball technique (as outlined in the first attachment 2cxfeb4) is fine. A lot of beginners find that it helps them to visualise the angles.
What this attachment makes clear is that the back-of-ball point is not actually what you point your cue at (on any shot that isn't absolutley straight), hence the need to visualise the 'ghost ball'.
However, after you have practised for a few months, your brain will take over and subconsciously calculate the angles for you. And you have to let your subconscious do the work. Otherwise, snooker can be very difficult.
So good luck, and ignore the 'S.A.M. method'

I agree.

But you see, these so called 'aiming systems' are easy to sell in american pool world. Believe it or not, quite a few players there believe or were told by someone that professional players are good mostly because they aim well, have great eye sight i.e. have some sort of 'secret' aiming system which of course is a trade secret and that they won't share with anyone...
Over on AZ billiards pool board they even have threads/polls as to what 'system' you are using. There are 'feel' players and then there are the 'system' guys. Every now and then there is a heated debate as to whether 'aiming systems' are placebo or not.
