It's all about the line, baby. Looking at the spot will always give you thick shot results. This is the most oldest and dumbest way to teach new players. It hold their game back big time. Great video, Brando, brilliant exposure of the old teachings with an excellent millimetre explanation.
i actually see the line of shot along with the line of object ball at the ground using my cue as aiming guide ,this technique helped me alot and i have starting making 5 6 reds now.As we don't have coaches to help us, so i developed a technique by myself.
I like the centre to edge method for learning 3/4, 1/2 and 1/4 ball. The 3/4,ball is the key to break building.These are the foundational angles. Once you learn and ingrain these you adjust for other angles. This speeds up trial and error.
I see the spot. Go behind the cue ball, then feel the thickness of the cueball, where the skin or edge of the cueball should contact the spot, then I figure the line which the cueball travel. So that's the line I am going to "walk-in" to. Then I walk in and get down on the line. All the aiming is done when I lie down on the table.
how do we judge the line of aim....is it through those half balls, quarter balls, etc....or is it through the experience. or find the spot of OB and move the line approximately by 2.6 cm (this guess is weird though)
This potting business is spoiling my day every now and then. I m not able to make consistent breaks of even 10. I hv been playing fr last 5 years or so. It is so very frustrating. Help us Brando.
As a beginner in pool (less than 1 month of practice), the point method seems unintelligible and the ghost ball quite hard to visualize. I have the most success when I rely on the sine calculation: I estimate the angle between the two lines, and compute the sine. In this video the angle is 30 deg, hence the half ball hit. Whatever the sine is, you aim there (0: full ball, 1: 90deg ball barely/not even touching). I have some background in mathematics and trigonometry, but it can be learned very shortly by anyone. With practice I hope everything will become more intuitive, and I can rely less on numbers and more on feel.
Very well explained if you look at the contact point, you will miss thick, you need to allow for a space behind the object ball.

Don’t do this because it will make u look beginner, just memorise the line and the spot during practice.

I can feel the frustration coach Brando, just isnt that easy for players to let go of old habits/ways. Keep the videos coming. many thanks

I use my cue tip to hit the center point of the ghost ball which is equivalent to 26 mm away from the true contact point.
Even Toto knew that, decades ago.
Great small video with big impact:-)
Is there a follow up to this ?
Exactly what I was thinking
@@aaronmlpyes look at the white at contact 🫣😂
Thank you 🙏
I hope theres a follow up to this. As I use the spot method and it doesn't work consistently

Through practice and experience. U will know wether u hit it thick or thin.
How to choose the line?
Very good video
pls also teach us how to make double banking?

Help us Brando.
Sorry sir but 4:12 wrong measurements "The SPOT(contact point) is exactly 13mm(not 26mm) away from the line of the cue
Yes of course. They don’t touch at the right edge of the cue ball
exectly what i was thinking. anyway it should be somewhere at the midle of the left half. 26/2
Isn't ghost ball technique the same as this one?

Great vídeo
True line first, or u will miss nice one brando
You have players like Hendry telling you to look at the point on the ball - it’s total rubbish, and well demonstrated here on the half ball.

Look at the white 😂
