[Karlos2007]

Hi all im new to the forum I have been playing for nearly a year now but still having trouble potting im going through all different ways of sighting. sometimes i can pot sometimes i miss a really easy pot. i have tryed lining the middle of the white with the middle of the object ball sometimes this works some times it doesnt..Does anybody know what i aim for on the object ball with the white or vice verser. Any help will be a bonus Cheers Karl

Which one

Imagine a ghost ball on the face of the object ball exactly in line with the pocket you are aiming for. Then hit the cueball so that it ends right there. Sounds easy, doesn't it

it's a bit hard, IMO, to implement at first but once u get used to the ghost ball concept, it becomes a lot easier... works well when u're not applying side spin but when u do, it's a different ball game!!!

keep practising man!thats the best advice in snooker..no more..ull see full of ghost balls on the table..lol!!

It will help if you imagine the cue ball as a clock face. Left spin is 9, top spin is 12 and a deep screw is 6 etc.

Before getting to much into finding a method of sighting, make sure you have a consistent cue action. If you can't trust your cue action, you will never know if you're sighting is off or if you're just not hitting the spot your aiming for due to unwanted side or a jerky stroke.

Once you have a good, consistent cue action you can start learning the angles and try out different sighting methods to see which one works for you.
