There are several different aiming methods out there, but most of them can be very difficult to explain or get the gist of, even with a pro instructor. The Ghost Ball is by far the simplest, demonstrating clearly where the cue ball needs to get to on a center-ball hit.

@Errol – I’m sort of surprised people still try to hustle in this day and age. Playing against someone for money is usually seen more as a contest of skills either between nearly-equal level players or between high and low players where the lower player is often asking for a handicap, or sometimes playing straight up for the bragging rights if he or she beats the better player.

I can’t think of a time where I ever took up challenge for $$ against someone I didn’t know. I have always loved to play and to compete, but never to gamble, lol.

As the community grows, I’ll be happy to set up gallery of some sort if people are interested in sharing aspects of their local pool hall or themselves playing pool. I’m open to possibilities.
