I recently taught this system along with the other systems I teach in class. Even though the system works it will take time to master and calibrate this as your SOP aiming system. As my students know I don’t teach quick fixes. I poor stroke will nullify this system the same as other quality systems. Thank you people for supporting me. Johnny Henson
I will be adding mastering this system as part of my level 1 course. This system is different from the system I developed in 2008, but I would like to give my students a choice on what world class aiming system they would like to use.
Your explanation of this system is indeed the most comprehensive I've seen. I've seen two other explanations that were more partial. Thank you.
I have had a lot of players like the video, and have used it. I feel different explanations by different instructors can help because different players learn differently. Johnny Henson Professor Pool
Thanks Johnnie
Great explanation, really good. I love studying systems and seeing what works for various professionals... I've used ghost ball my whole life and so "systems" I find are not helpful to me, but to those that don't have a good system already working for them I can understand trying something like this. ALL SYSTEMS including ghost ball will require practice and learning and adjusting and will have flaws that require your estimation. Like in this system I could see getting the wrong angle approximated or estimating 1/4 line on your shaft wrong etc. And in ghost ball you can approximate the ghost wrong.
One thing I love about ghost is that NO MATTER THE ENGLISH, you have a fixed point on the table or in space that you are visualizing and when you veer from that and miss, you can learn from your miss and improve your visualization. Additionally things that affect cue ball and object ball direction like cut and spin induced throw or deflection, can still be visualized when the cue ball makes contact, you can see the eventual contact and compare it to your visualization and learn what happened and learn to fix it.
You will also need to know ghost ball to line up a combo shot, that is natural.
I think all pros use ghost ball even if they use this system, I think they still are aware of where the ghost ball is and have it as reference.
I want to thank you for the comments. I have had a lot of players like this one. Johnny Henson
Thank you!
Thank you for watching. Hope its works for your game. Johnny Henson Professor Pool
So I tried this and it works,I have what I believe to be a good stroke and have good aim to begin with.Within 30 min I was using it on banks.This is a game changer on extreme cut shots.You have to have enough space between cue ball and object ball for it to be accurate, but that being said this is a must have in your bag of tricks.
I am glad you enjoyed this lesson. I also produced part 2 on youtube in which I added exit angles and other things. Check it out also. Thank you Johnny Henson Professor Pool
Thank you!!!!!
Thanks for watching SVB system does work. I teach and easier system in my seminars. But this system does have merit.
I got it right away thank-you for the lesson.
I would suggest editing your video and highlight the exact spot on the paper to correspond with each shot for others to grasp this concept.
Just a thought and thanks for the technique.
Most people explaining this system point to the ferrule on their cue. That is so small that it was hard for me to understand. That is why I used a piece of paper to represent the tiny ferrule on the cue stick. I put a ball of each shot in front of the line on the paper. I will give this some thought with other suggestions and consider shooting another version in a couple of months. Thanks for the input. Johnny Henson
Great visual aid for the explanation of quartering the ferrule. I have used this a lot over the last two years and it works great. I have an actual letter that one of Shane's past lady friends wrote to a friend of mine explaining it. I also agree that players who say that aiming systems do not work usually have a poor stroke. I have also studied CTE,the light from above,overlap,quarter,and poolology systems. They all work just as long as the player understands them. Great video. Looking forward to more.
I recently had a student want me to teach him just the aiming system. I explained that any aiming system with a poor stroke will not work well. His stroke was less than 20% correct when graded on film. Most players want the magical aiming system. But 75% of their miss shots are poor strokes. Thanks for your feedback. Johnny Henson
I am currently redoing this one to clarify a few things. Glad you liked it.
@@billiarduniversity5842 I agree. Currently scouring your channel for stroke instructionals
The best explanation of the system that I have seen to date. It's a system I've used for years effectively and have won many tournaments using. Like all systems, there is a point at which it breaks down and the edge of the cue ball instead of the edge of the ferrule must be used. It can actually be double-checked using the ghost ball method (when you're at an in between angle and not sure which part of the ferrule to use). I noticed that you didn't explain a straight in shot...??? The system can actually be used for those as well (either aiming the edge of the ferrule 2 cm inside the edge of the object ball or by simple aiming edge to edge and using a 'stun' stroke. Thank you. Well explained!
I am redoing a new video that will show actual exit angles for 1 through 5. Because of CIT. the actual exit angles are different that the theoretical exit angles. I am trying hard not to confuse students or people watching these. Thanks for your kind words. Johnny Henson
Ken, You seem to know this system well. How much adjustment in ferrule aim do you have when applying english? And how do you change after aiming with your ferrule? Do you move the front hand only or on the last stroke hit the ball where you intend for the english?
Nice!.. I need to watch this again so the penny drops! 👍🎱
Glad you enjoyed it
In all my years I've played and watched videos I've seen one video on where the exact spot you should be aiming for so you hit the exact contact point. I think what most people get wrong is they feel they aimed at the right spot but hit a different contact spot and don't understand why. And most people don't take throw or cut induced throw into account when aiming. Once you get that aiming is not all that difficult. What becomes difficult is when you start adding English and have to figure out your new aiming line to compensate the squirt your going to put on the ball so by the time the cue ball gets to the object ball your are still hitting your true contact point.
You are spot on. Not allowing for throw and putting spin either on purpose or by accident with a poor stroke is the reason most fail when trying to learn and master aiming systems. Great feedback. Johnny Henson.
Today I reached 1000th subscriber to my channel. I want to thank you all. Johnny Henson
I was teaching this system to a future professional player along with other systems in class. He liked it. I will be adding this to my Level 1 course. This is a very accurate system. Johnny Henson
I would love to see a full detail video on explaining it with in game situations shots, but more importantly how does it change with spin?
Future professional. Lol
@@jocu475 Whats so funny?
This is a very accurate system,but if body and or head alignment are off a little bit will be problematic.
You are hitting the cue ball dead center but your lining up your ferrule to different spots on your object ball edge
Sorry wrong reply. Part of a poor stroke is poor alignment or head position. With proper aim and alignment this system will work great
I use this system but I struggle to identify which aim point to use on back cuts. Could you share your findings on this system and back cuts please?
On back cuts you will need to over cut due to the collision induced throw. Hope this helps. Johnny Henson
Most players really don’t know how good they could really play with instruction. I am sure you would benefit from seeking out an instructor. Johnny Henson Professor Pool
If you use the center of your ferrule to the edge of the object ball that is the 30 degree shot. I explain everything better in my Part 2 Shane Van Boening aiming system
Great breakdown. I'm in Delaware but I have been to Freezer's (2017) in AZ!
Made it a point to stop there on our way to Hawaii. Went to Kitt Peak too!
I'll definitely look you up if we're ever back out your way. Did you go to the recent tournament at Casino Del Sol?
We stayed there one night after Kitt Peak.

Very professional presentation! What do you charge for lessons and how long of a waiting list? Could I get some before end of year?
I am setting up seminars each month. My next student opening is February 9th. Level 1. 3 day seminar. $800. For all 3 days. Call me sometime let’s talk. I would like for you to be one of my students. Johnny Henson. 623-377-0042
Due to all the feedback and emails. I will be doing another video on the SVB aiming system, to show more of the science, ballistics and physics of what this system does, like I would do with students in class. Due to the fact I have 2 seminars coming up I will work this as soon as I have time. Thank all of you for your support and feedback.
When he says (edge) of the ball.
Does he mean the contact point?
@@gregman45 your alignment of different parts of your ferrule to the edge of the object ball. The contact point between the cue ball and the object ball will be different than the aim point. Johnny Henson Professor Pool
Nice video. Did you do a follow up video ?
I did a SVB aiming system Part 2 on TH-cam I felt I did a better job on the second one.
When you talk about the edge of the OB are you talking about the edge when OB is facing the pocket or the edge when cue ball is facing OB?
Your aiming different parts of you ferrell to the edge of the object ball opposite side of the pocket your shooting at.
With all the free aiming systems online. I would think you would have posted yours by now. I'm curious how close yours is to this. Good stuff your sharing thanks.
My aiming system works well with a good stroke. Players that come to me for training on average have strokes that are less than 25% correct on film. The stroke is 75% of all misses. I never teach my aiming system to students until I first improve their stroke. The best aiming system or systems in the world never work well with a poor stroke. The elephant in the room is the player’s stroke. That is why I teach players to have a world class stroke before I teach them my aiming system. I tell and teach players if you want to improve your game. Start by improving the stroke stroke stroke. Players kinda want a quick fix. Aiming systems are kinda a quick fix but never address the real problem which is the poor stroke. I have never meet a player with a great stroke that never went to a professional instructor. Every touring professional player is working with a professional instructor. That is why they play the way they do. Johnny Henson. Professor Pool. Thanks for watching my videos. And good shooting to you.
@@billiarduniversity5842 thank you for your reply!
I was confused by the 1 ball shot (starting around 6:08), where you said the left edge of the CB would line up with the left edge of the OB. Maybe it's the camera angle, but it looks like almost a straight in shot. So wouldn't you line up the middle of the ferrule with the contact point of the OB? Thanks.
I don't have a perfect stroke, and I don't have an aiming system, persay. I still regularly dominate in local tournaments, and I attribute it mainly to confidence.
I have been teaching for 18 years. I have seen some very good pool players that are very surprised at how much their game improved with instruction. I am sure if you seek out a good instructor in your area you will see a big difference in a short period of time. Johnny Henson Professor Pool
Great explanation of this aiming system but I have 2 questions. #1 it appears that your line of reinforcing rings curves toward the object ball. Is this just an optical illusion caused by your camera lens or does it actually curve? #2 you are demonstrating this with a 2 diamond separation between cue and object balls. Will it work the same with a 8 inch separation or with a 6 foot separation? If it does not, what adjustments must be made?
One side is curved to be the same distance from the object ball. The other 5 shot are the same angles in a straight line. As I explained in the video. How I set up the spots is by shooting 5 shots from each spot to be sure the spots were correct before filming. If you set up a object ball on the spot and then shoot a few balls marking each spot for that shot this may help you learn this on your table. Hope this is helpful. There is no trick camera angles. This system will also work on longer shots also. I just set up shorter shots for filming. Johnny Henson Professor Pool.
So it just works for angles lower than 45 degrees. I would have liked an explanation for the last 5 balls potting them on the same right pocket.
To change your cutting angle you just use one of those 5 ferrule alignments. Straight in you just shoot straight in like you always have. Very thin cuts aim the outside edge of your cue ball to the outside edge of your object ball. Hope this helps. Johnny Henson. 623-377-0042
I would assume that practice helps in deciding which shot angles correspond with which part of the ferrule. There must be some shots that require aiming between the 5 ferrule segments? Or will the 5 aiming points cover it all?
On a 7 foot table you can stick with the 5 shots. On a 9 footer you may need a little fine tuning. Hope this helps. Johnny Henson
@@billiarduniversity5842 I agree with that.
I was tinkering with it on my 9'er tonight.
VERY good on those thin cut shots.
Like position 5 to the 8 in your video.
@@seamusmcfadden994 I find this system works well with good eyesight. When I teach older people I teach a system I developed 15 years ago. It works well. I think Shane’s system is a good system. Johnny Henson Professor Pool
Hi I have a question on your first shot you used your left side of the cue to cut it into the right corner. I've been using the right side of the shaft. This system is all new to me. For some reason I thought you would use the right side. Can you please explain?
The best way to learn it is to shoot 3 if each shot with the object ball on a dot and putting a dot on the table where you make 3 in a row. Then look at the angles. Hope this helps. Johnny Henson
It seems like a good system (SVB can't be wrong) but I don't understand how to decide which part of the ferrule to aim with on any random shot in a rack, not just in the set positions you show in the video. How do you decide, is it simply your best guess, or is there something more accurate that I'm not getting? Thanks.
Sorry for the late reply I personally teach a more simple system to my students in class. I really did this video and SVB aiming system part 2 to help the general public to understand his system. Check out part 2 because I did a better job explaining on that one. Johnny Henson Professor Pool 623-377-0042
Nice job describing SVB aiming system. It would very helpful if you said what each degree each of the shots wer.. Thanks for your video.
Sorry for the late response. I teach a aiming system to my students in class that is much easer to learn and master that the one SVB does. I practiced his system and it does work, but is not the system I use or teach to students. Hope this helps. Johnny Henson Professor pool
I could be wrong, but I don't think aim systems are very good anyway. It's hard to judge the correct angle for the aim system in a real game. Nothing beat shooting the shot 1 million times. Just my opinion. Sometimes I will use an aiming system on a very tough shot that I don't recognize the angle. But 98% of the time, I think practice is the best. Try it, but don't be surprised if you end up aiming your normal way.
The only Issue I can see with this using centerball (and maybe it is less of an issue once you get good with it) is I've always been taught once you get down on the ball to not shift. Is the shift for starting and getting the alignment correct and then later on it becomes natural?
The general rule is that you should line up the general angle of your shot while standing and then drop down into position. The general advice at that point is to not move and trust your initial stance.
However, that doesn't mean don't make adjustments. What's NOT advisable is making LARGE adjustments after you drop into position.
What you're going to have to learn to do is make minute adjustments while you're dropped down into position without that translating into big shifts in your stance.
In other words, you need to be more accurate with your initial drop down stance so that the adjustment you make doesnt require you to actually move your feet or lean your body.
That may sound hard but honestly after trying this system for around an hour and a half to two hours, you VERY quickly start to get a sense for what angle you should actually be dropping down on. If you can get that automated in your brain, the small adjustments are not only very quick and easy to make but also completely unnoticeable to your opponent.
Basically it just boils down to you practicing with the system enough for you to be able to accurately guess what the correct drop down angle should be before you even aim with the ferrule.
Hopefully that makes sense.
Your stroke is identical to Shane's. How long did you instruct him, and have you taught other professional players? Thanks for the seminar dates and how d I get private lessons? Cost more?
Shane’s mom and dad both national level players. His uncle is a pool instructor. They started teaching him at age 5.
I am currently go to teach a player that wants to turn professional. I can teach any player at any level to improve their game. Teaching a lower level player who can’t run a rack to be top shooter in their league and have a 50% running % is harder than taking a good player and marking them great. I love all my students no matter what their starting level is. I would love for you to be my student. Call me sometime. 623-377-0042. Johnny Henson
My level 1 3 day seminar is $800 for all 3 days. I feel it is a great course. I have put over 300 players through it. Every student walks away with a 90% perfect stroke. And the science, ballistic and physics of the game. It is a total game changer.
Your body gets in the way of where you are pointing with your hand sometimes so we cannot see where you are pointing
I don’t have a above table camera yet. I hope to do better. Johnny Henson. Thanks
Basically, like most systems: Have some guidelines that get you close, but at the end of it, shoot with feel.
I agree. Any system involves Practice Practice Practice Johnny Henson Professor Pool
What do we do when we need to add side spin? Say like the first shot on the one ball say you need to put on top right English with follow, how would you pull that shot off?
When you aim off center on the cue ball you will get left or right deflection on the cue ball and also spin induced throw on the object ball. You must allow for this with your aim every time you are aiming off center of the cue ball.
I've been studying SVB's aiming system for awhile now. I've seen many videos on it as well but no one shows the system in relation to banks or combination shots. Maybe you could be the first to elaborate on this missing aspect.
Be well,
Al-Fu
To be honest I practiced this for a few hours just to be sure it was the real thing. Now I believe in it. I will thy to follow up. I am going to be training a professional pool player and documenting he training I will be putting his journey from amateur to professional on TH-cam also. Look out for that. Good times
I see another video in my future. I have a couple of seminars coming up, When I get time I will address this. Thanks Johnny Henson
I have a challenge for you, incorporate a ghost ball in your demonstration. Tape a 13mm strip on top of the ghost ball to demonstrate the width of the ferrule. Place the ghost ball frozen to the object ball from a variety of angles up to 90 degrees. The edge of the ferrule alignment only pockets the object ball at 38 degrees. No other angle is even close. Keep in mind each side of the object ball has 90 degrees. When the object ball is 4 feet from the pocket you can only be off 1.25 degrees and still make the ball clean. 5 aim points out of 90 isn’t very useful. Try the ghost ball and prove this aiming system!
Teaching live is much different than teaching with video. I thy to keep it as simple as I can. Even then many will do it wrong. This is how I teach in class. Thanks again for the input. Johnny Henson
I may do another video on this showing more of the science, ballistics and physics of what this system does. Thank again for your feedback.
What width shaft is assumed with the system?
Shane plays with a 12.5 MM I play with a 13MM It really don't make much difference in the use of his system Johnny Henson Professor Pool
I notice you did not assign a degree of angle per each ball position..... i am assuming center cue to be30 degree? or not?
Correct The center of cue stick / cue ball to edge of object ball will be 30 degrees however with CIT the actual exit angle of object ball will be different. That is why practicing this or any system until you get the feel for it is key. Johnny Henson
How do I know if I’m at a 3 or a 5 position anywhere on the table? It sounds good ant it looks ok but for someone like me who needs more illustrations…
I did SVB aiming system Part 2 People like it better than the first one I did. Check it out Johnny Henson
Does the size or length of the ferrule matter?
Shane plays with 12.75. I play with a 13 mm shaft. I don’t think that will matter much at all. Johnny Hensen professor pool.
Something is telling me that not a single pro is doing this during the game, including Shane. By feel is the way to go.
Actually all professionals use a fractional aiming system. The reason why it enables them to pre-aim their shots standing up before dropping down on the shot line. There are some shots that involve feel, but most shots are aiming systems. I teach different aiming systems to students. Most players never go back to the old or feel aiming systems for most of their shots. There are at lease 5 fractional aiming systems, but they all involve some of the same science and ballistics in them. Johnny Henson Professor Pool
What size table are you using? Seems small but very convenient.
I have a 7 ft x 3.5 as most of my students are league players that play on this size.
@@billiarduniversity5842 it's just the video perception then. I thought it was some special narrow table just for practice in small rooms. I'm use to an 8ft x4ft which isn't much bigger but it just seems a lot smaller on camera I guess. I appreciate the response and videos you put out. Keep us up to date on Eric! I wish he'd make a TH-cam channel and share his journey. Might be some extra income for him as well.
Is there a Billiards University California?
I teach out of Goodyear,AZ. I am Billiard University and there is another gentleman in Colorado that uses the name. Johnny Henson Professor Pool
How soon could you fly to canada?
Because of COVID-19 I don’t know if I can with locations restricted. Johnny Henson
What’s do you mean by ferrule?
The white plastic that has your cue tip glued on it. Some people may have never heard the name. Johnny Henson
3:10
Why no warm-up strokes?
There is no real reason to have warmup strokes. Most players start on line but get off line during their warmup strokes. Once off line they will strike their cue ball off center. I developed the scientific stroke in 2008. It greatly increase’s the accuracy of a player. Johnny Henson Professor Pool
@@billiarduniversity5842 Have you ever watched Jeffery Ignacio?
He does zero or very minimal warm up strokes. I like his style.
@@seamusmcfadden994 I did away with warmup strokes myself 15 years ago. Most my students like it because it helps their game. I find it more accurate also. Johnny Henson Professor Pool
I am curious and waiting for your scientific explanation video.
I have it filmed but I have a 3 day class so I will get to editing it within the next week
This is quite different than the aiming system that Shane, himself, describes. Shot 1 should be center shaft to object ball base. Shot 2 should be center of the shaft to object ball edge. Shot 3 should be inside third of the shaft to object ball edge. Shot 4: Inside fourth of the shaft to the object ball edge and 5 should be edge of the shaft to object ball edge. Where did you learn your method?
I watched Shane explaining his aiming system at lease 10 times. I practiced it about 2 days until I could do it as he described it. It does work and it works well. I teach a different aiming system that I developed 15 years ago to students in class. My system is much easier to learn and master than Shane's System. If your view of the system is different than what I have shown then by all means stick with it if it works for you. Hopes this helps. Good shooting to you. Johnny Henson Professor Pool.
@@billiarduniversity5842 Thanks for the reply. He must have changed his system. The one I'm familiar with is from the TAR (The Action Report) when he explains his system on a 33 minute video being interviewed by Jennifer Barretta. He tells how about how he developed it, describes each of the 5 shots, and briefly covers the adjustment for spin. It is available on Vimeo (Aiming: Shane's Way). I will give your described system from this video a try as well as it doesn't use the finer 1/4 and 1/3 stick aim points that are hard to see. I find vision parallax as being a big issue with these stick/ferrule aiming systems.
At 62 with bifocals I don’t use his system myself. But a young person with good eyes may like it just fine. Johnny
The area of the object ball that goes in the pocket is also the area of contact point on the cue ball. Its symmetrical. For a better understanding try studying a perfect straight shot at first.
Left spin aim left, right spin aim right, top spin aim top on object ball, bottom spin aim bottom.
The real problem in pool is not these basic theories itself, these are more or less self explanatory. We should consider that initially the cue is on a standing position, especially when we are in a match or playing with someone.
This is where the problem comes in, especially in money games, lifting the cue from the ground has a technique, if someone doesnt know how to do this properly, shot executions will be hard, even bending on table is hard. Pros do not teach this.
Pros will teach you AIMING SYSTEMS and SPINS and POSITION play, thats all they will teach. The secret behind the cue they will not teach 😆.
I have taught over 800 students. The #1 problem with all players is stroke. Just not stroking dead center 1/8 of a inch will deflect as much as 1 to 1.5 inchs the length of the table. 75% to 80% of all missed shots are the stroke. I teach student to have a good stroke before teaching them aiming systems. I thank you for your commits and for watching my video. Johnny Henson Professor Pool 623-377-0042
Your arm is in the way of the camera we cannot see what your pointing at
Watch SVB aiming system Part 2 I did a better job on the 2nd video.
This systems is wrong so how do you got 12 degrees and 1/4 or 45 degrees it cant be perform because you got use your ferrule outside and the included half ferrule striking the edge of cue ball
I really don’t talk about exit angles or degrees because of the CIT collision induced throw. On some of the shots. It is more calibration than it is math. Hope this helps
Hi Carlos, I understand your misconception. You must consider that you are hitting in the center of the cue ball every time. But, instead of using the center of the shaft for your alignment every time , If you would with a straight in shot, you’re using left edge, right edge, Depending on the nature of the cut. It is a good system and this is the best explanation
It is ok, but if you are not practice a lot; nothing... But theoretically it is good.... practice, practice and practice is only way.... With that or similar aiming system must work for you. It is great to have guidance for start...
I stress stroke over everything else on why mast players fail with aiming systems. If you have a good stroke then with proper practice and training you will master this system. Hope this helps. Johnny Henson.
I really like your system.However do you have ferrule system for banking?
How do you align a different part of the ferrule on a straight line to a contact point?
Would this not create at least slight spins on shots? Or create a pivot in the cueing?
Am not knocking the system, just curious to understand, as i do understand CTE and other systems as well which require pivots to centre ball.
But i cant grasp how you lay down your cue with a different part of your ferrule while still maintaining centre ball hits on your alignment?
In the video your cue tip is always in the very center of your cue ball. A center cue ball hit. What your doing different on each shot is you are aligning a different part of your cue ferrule or cue tip for that matter to the outside edge of your object ball. This is still a fractional aiming system. Similar to other fractional aiming systems it is just presented and calibrated in the mind a little different. Hope this helps. Johnny Henson
@@billiarduniversity5842 thanks for the reply, would this then mean then it should be applied differently based on different tip diameters?
Also if I hit using the left most edge of my ferrule to the right edge of the object ball while keeping my tip centre that would mean that aim line would be off the edge of the object in ball by 6.25mm if I were using a 12.5mm tip?
I am not for sure but I feel when a player calibrates this system in their mind it will all work out. Shane himself plays with a 12.5 mm shaft. It worked for me with a 13 mm. Practice this and get back with me if you discover something. Johnny Henson

I watched your video intently and as soon as the community opens up from Covid 19 I want to practice to improve my aiming ability. One thing I noticed from your video, you have much sound reflection in your microphone. I have worked with sound and some on acoustics. Evidently you have much flat wall in your room and maybe a hard surface ceiling. If there is something you can do to soften or break up the flat surface area of your room the echo or sharp sound in your video will improve making your voice much easier to hear and understand. Curtins or something else to break up the surface or soften its reflectivity will help greatly. Just thought I would throw this out to you.
I've seen at least 3 different guys saying they are demoing the SVB aiming system, and they are all different.
I had watched at least 4 people try to explain his system I don't think that my explanation is perfect but watchers say it is better than other people. Watch part 2 feel I did a better job on SVB system in Part 2 Johnny Henson Professor Pool
You are going to scoot over one notch . What sort of instruction is that ? What is a notch? What is a scoot?
I did SVB aiming system Part 2 A lot of players like the second one better. Check it out. Johnny Henson Professor Pool
Or course, Shane doesn't use any aiming system at all, because the angles are automated for him. Same for snooker professionals, they aim by instinct because they pocketed millions of balls. Any aiming system is far less precise than instinct, itself being the consequence of thousant hours of training.
You speak the truth. Most all top professionals both men or women practice anywhere from 3 to 6 hours a day. When I was a tournament player I would practice or play anywhere from 30 to 40 hours a week. I also had a full time job at the time. I would Work, Play Pool, and sleep. Your totally correct there is no way you can substitute time at the table if you want to be one of the best players in the world. Johnny Henson Professor Pool
SVB didn’t came up this aiming system so why give him the credit.
This is great, but like any aiming system it only teaches one part of pool, pocketing. I dislike aiming systems because they are not a combination, they are one dimensional. No aiming system has the combination of pocketing, english (and how much) and combined with position play, all in one shot.
I teach students that they need calibration in aiming and shooting. I agree with you. Johnny Henson
This system is way too complicated.
I agree. I practiced it for a few hours and it does work. The Fractional Aiming System I teach in class is much easier to learn. All systems are very similar when you realize it is all putting your cue ball into the proper Ghost Ball position at contact between the cue ball and object ball. Johnny Henson Professor Pool
@@billiarduniversity5842 I learned to aim using a ghost ball. Robert Byrnes book on pocket billiards I read 30+ years ago.
I studied that book 30 years ago. I felt at the time it was the gold standard of billiard instructional books back then.
@billiarduniversity5842 I agree. It helped turn me into a really solid player quickly. I stared playing at 15 and within 2 years I was playing 7 speed. And 8-9 speed into my early 20s. I credit that book a lot. And playing a LOT of pool. I always wanted to play the best so I sought them out.
