Advanced Aiming Systems: Ghost Ball, Parallel Aiming, and More

Master the art of precision aiming with these advanced techniques.

In this guide, we explore different aiming systems used by professional players to improve accuracy and consistency.

Ghost Ball Method

The ghost ball method involves imagining a "ghost" ball in contact with the object ball, exactly where the cue ball needs to be at impact. Aim your cue at the center of this imaginary ghost ball.

Parallel Aiming

This system involves aligning your cue parallel to the intended path of the object ball. It's particularly useful for shots at sharp angles.

Center-to-Edge System

This system focuses on the contact point between the cue ball and object ball. Aim from the center of the cue ball to the edge of the object ball where contact should occur.

Practice these systems regularly to find which works best for your playing style.
