Regardless it works very effectively for many players. it’s been around for over a hundred years and possibly used by players like Ralph Greenleaf. Many players in Oklahoma learned a stick aiming method as opposed to aiming the cb. For the most recent releases, pip 19.3 or newer is recommended. Before you install Thinc and its dependencies, make sure that your pip, setuptools and wheel are up to date. The latest releases with binary wheels are available from pip. SVB uses a stick aiming method Joey Grey describs uses and teaches a method similar to what I use. Thinc is compatible with Python 3.6+ and runs on Linux, macOS and Windows. But just using the ob like a normal human being works fine as well. I like the simple visually apparent point. Which is behind the ball where it’s visually at and it’s front side is the contact point directly on the pocketing line. Is one and uses fractional aiming at the ob and what I do is technically a back of ball aim point where I’m actually lining up woth a spot on the cloth where it meets edge of cb at the point where the dark shadow cast exits the base of the ball and makes a little V at that cloth/shadow and CB circumference. There’s a few sub groups of stick aiming methods S.A.M. So I’m generally lining up with either the left or right edge of shaft for left or right cut, or the center of the shaft for straight on to very small cut angles. The rest I find it silly to aim a big ball at a target when I have a much more accurate pointing device I can line up with the cb such that it’s edges are equal to the cb edges due to a combination of perspective with the tapering of the cue working perfectly together with that.

There are few instances such as a very thin cut that are edge to edge with the cb/ob showing very clear in the vision that it makes more sense to focus on the balls.
