This is an important break through when it comes to aiming. I have been perfecting it for over a year. It's called The Monk Clicks. You will be better at pocketing balls with this system. It will improve your game.

A WORD OF WARNING HERE!!!! it is very difficult to change the way you have been playing. That is another workshop in itself. Any time you change you cause stress. When I began this system, I did not do well. Still, I knew I was on to something and was determined to see it through to the end. You must be commmitted to this system and give it a good try. Once you leave your own method of sighting, and take up The Monk Clicks, you will win more game and pocket more balls.

Let us begin with the knowledge that there are four points on an object ball to aim at. We call each of these a "Click".

Set up a medium cut shot into the corner pocket. Now, sight directly, in a straight in line from the cue ball to the object ball. This is your starting point. If the shot calls for you to cut the object ball to your right, you will move one click from straight in to the left and determine if this will be the spot to pocket the ball. If not, move one more click. This will be half the distance from straight in to the edge of the object ball. Will this enable you to pocket the object ball? If so, then move two clicks to the left of the cue ball and connect these two points. You have now locked and loaded. If this shot is two clicks to the right, move two clicks to the right on the cue ball and place your back foot in line with these two points. You are awesome. Now all you have to do is deliver the pure stroke you are so capable of delivering and watch the object ball disappear. Once you lock and load, the computer in your brain will tell you if you are lined up. If you get a positive then shoot the shot.

Each click is a zone. From straight in to the edge there are four clicks. One of those clicks will line up with the pocket.

If you want to use a punch stroke with one cue tip inside english you understand that you will have deflection. Line up the shot. If it is a two click shot, you will only sight one click, thus allowing for the one click deflection you will experience with the one cue tip inside english you want to use on the shot. If you are using outside english, you will add one click on the object ball.

It will take some time to perfect this. I am still only using it eighty percent of the time. It will take some time. The Monk Clicks aiming system will help you pay attention to just where you want to shoot the shot. It helps you focus better. May All The Rolls Go Your Way.
