Step
2: If I am not 100% sure of where I want to hit the
ob. I will point the center of the cuetip
at the center of the ob inline with where I want it to go.
Whether it be a pocket, bank, safety, or multiple combination.
After I've pointed @ the ob, I will keep my eye on that
obcp as I walk back behind the cb not looking at the
cb yet. Still staring at that obcp but at the same time
I'm putting the cueball in a close up, sort of blurred center
of my stance, still focusing on the obcp. Now line up the
exact opposite piece of the cbcp with the obcp. If, from
the cb that obcp is approximately 1/2" left of its right
edge, line up the cb to meet the ob with 1/2" right of the
cb left edge. As seen here...

Aiming
is always exact - equal opposites. left edge of the ob may
only be struck only with the right edge of the cb. Right 1/2
of ob may be struck only with left 1/2 of cb. Back center
of ob can be hit only with front center of the cb.This picture
illustrates how different pieces of the cb are used to cut
this ob into the corner pocket. Keep it simple by visualizing
the ghost ball clearly, and just replace it with the cb... |

Starting
to swing down on this long shot...
|
 |
Swooping down into that cb path, now it's time to widen
the stance. Get comfortable and lower...
|
 |
The
wider stance has lowered my head and made aiming easier,
also bending the left elbow a little provides for a better
view of this long shot by moving the eyes closer to the
target. Relax, get comfortable, warm up, stroke until it
feels perfect, then shoot, let it go - let it flow to a
perfect end result...
