What's your angle?

[SouthPaw]

This is very interesting as i struggle to visualize a ghost ball, I must experiment more with this method, if i remember correctly uncle jack mentions something similar with cupboard cutouts, which help you understand picking the angle out...

That's right, prawn n cocktail crisps and guiness for you
3/4 is obvious, but I use to think 1/2 was thicker and 1/4 was thinner than it really is.

So this is 3/4, 1/2 and 1/4 ball angles?

No your cue goes through the centre of the white, the contact point is half ball etc .

No I'm giving visual examples of what a 1/2/1/4 ball really looks like. Has this thread helped you in any way?

Do a search on here about aiming or sighting there are droves of threads on it, I can't remember, the last one, but Vmax, put up a very good explanation, try contacting him directly he might be able to tell you where it is.
Stupid machine keeps putting in commas lol
