Helpful side

[golferson123]

As long as you aren't miles away from centre, and cue up consistently to the same spot, you will improve as you will just get used to how you cue. Timing ,tempo and movement are probably far more important than finding pure dead centre every shot. I was told most players flick bits of unintentional side on here and there even the pros.
Didn't Willie Thorne put helping side on nearly every shot?

think willies was suicide, ouch

Tried it in a casual game today and won 5-0 against player of similar ability. I'm more and more convinced it's not so much the side that's helping as the concentration. I'm really focusing on the trajectory of cue ball to object ball. Concentration on the BOB has been an intermittent problem for me in the past.
