Simon, I've watched loads of other aiming videos, trying to find a solid system that I can use to consistently find the right angel, and yours is the one that has made it click for me. Your simple and clear delivery has been invaluable. Thank you

Hi regarding walking into the shot, I see you stand with slightly more to your left foot obviously your a southpaw. I'm a right handed player and used to walk in the same ie weight on my right foot. I've recently started going in dead online ie my zip on the line and stepping in sideways or across the line, trying everything to get an extra advantage lol. What are your thoughts Simon?

[@SimonSeabridgeSnookerCoaching]

Your shoulders should be in line with the shot for a boxer stance. So a more side on stance assisted by twisting your hips as you get into the shot. This helps your cueing arm become vertical. So avoiding jutting out or going over your back.
With a square stance it is more likely that your cueing arm will not be dead straight over your cue, which is recommended. Square stances work well too but they need a lot more attention.

while down on the shot you see both balls...but they are near to each other ...but at a long distance we cant see object ball and cue ball simultaneously while going down then where to see at cue ball or aiming point only ?

[@SimonSeabridgeSnookerCoaching]

The middle distance captures both balls on longer shots. Then you can switch from CB to OB to confirm.

[@dhanudada]

@@SimonSeabridgeSnookerCoaching thanks...

[@dkissoflove]

On impact I sometimes sight the OB, but more frequently on the CB.... so there's no consistency, is that bad?

[@SimonSeabridgeSnookerCoaching]

If you're conscious of what you're looking at, at these stages. Then this may be the cause of your inconsistency. However, you do have the luxury of selecting the one that suits you the most.

[@dkissoflove]

Erm what I meant by inconsistency is my OB, CB focus impact and not my potting inconsistency.

[@SimonSeabridgeSnookerCoaching]

@@dkissoflove ultimately if this style of play works for you, and you are happy with it then I wouldn't be too concerned about it. 👍

[@Sobioytccc]

Potting an angel ball is to imagine hitting dead centre to ghost ball.

[@Hemi426RR]

This method fails to take into account cut-induced throw.

[@SimonSeabridgeSnookerCoaching]

Yes it does, because it's the basic centre ball strike. Only when you use side spin you make allowance for it. Cut induced throw is dependent on how much pace the shot is played.
