  2. Using the CueSight to AimTo sink a shot, any professional will tell you to imagine the cue ball in contact with the object ball at the correct point to sink it. This is commonly called the "ghost ball theory". The tough part lies in getting the cue ball to that spot!
The CueSight cue can help tremendously when it comes to lining up your shot. Simply use the laser to draw a line fronm the center of the cue ball to the point where the center of the cue ball will be when it impacts the object ball.
By lowering the butt of the cue from your normal shooting position, and perhaps raising the shaft slightly, depending on your technique, the vertical line of the crosshairs will illuminate not only the cue ball, but positions "down table" as well. For a straight-in shot, you want to have the top portion of the vertical line illuminate a position in the center, left-to-right, of the object ball. For cut shots, you need to shift this to the side to compensate for the roundness of the balls. To go to the extreme, let's imagine that a ninety-degree cut shot was possible. It is, in fact, impossible, but it is the upper limit. That is to say, an eighty-nine degree cut shot is theoretically possible. In this scenario, you would want to have the top part of the vertical line of the crosshairs illuminate a point exactly one ball's width to the side of the center of the object ball, from your perspective. This point may be on a rail or on another ball, but from your perspective, the distance left-to-right will be the same. Once the left-to-right alignment of the cue is established, the cue is simply returned downward into shooting position to make the shot.
Using the CueSight as an aid, it will not take a shooter long to master their aim. Once that is accomplished, strategy and stroke are the only two challenges to overcome to become a perfect player.
