Lining Up Shots With The Cue

Lining Up Shots With The Cue
There are many ways to aim your shots, but most of them focus on using a ghost ball or imagining lines. In order to help you better line up your shot, it is beneficial to use a cue stick as guidance instead of imaginary objects.

Visualize Impact Line
Lay your pool cue over the center of the object ball and aim it towards the pocket so that it forms a perfect line. As you will see the line crosses through the so called “ghost line” and also through the object ball.

Once you have established this line with your cue, back the stick up about a ghost ball’s distance behind and note the contact point on the object ball. After this, pivot your stick from the center of the imaginary ghost ball target to the center of your cue ball. Follow this line and you are sure to have greater success.
