First,my primary conception is that 'shooting' in carrom/snooker/pool/golf is nothing but a 'reduced'
(through thousands of years)form of 'archery skill' of the people of the past!
Shooting
a carromman/wooden coin in carrom or a ball in snooker/pool or shooting an arrow in
archery requires the SAME 'states of mind'!
If you feel that my conception seems to be true,please proceed to read further....or you are on a wrong page.
The question of aiming (alignment) in
billiards/snooker,golf,archery,carrom like skill sports,as every one
knows,has been an enigma despite the formulation of
many versions of systems.
Aiming or shot making is undoubtedly just a thing of 'feel' or mere 'intuition' and every one knows it.....ALL aiming systems formulated so far look at aiming only from physical angle and try to 'interpret'(in fact,misinterpretation) the ever elusive 'intuition thing'.Almost all professional players DO NOT follow any of these systems as they do it well 'intuitively' and tell the same that they don't have any secrets except a strong 'feel'. Unless the intuition thing is 'truly translated' in to a kind of concrete knowledge the 'aiming thing' remains elusive.

Aiming
exists(actually) and develops intuitively out of practice.Aiming
is purely a thing of
feel/concentration/intuition.
Aiming,as has been thought of by all,has nothing to do with any of the external factors like angles,target points,visual focus or other things like stance,muscle memory,dominant eye etc.,(knowledge/use of any of many hundreds of simple shot routines of my finding can prove this)

What
is involved is mental focus to be precise,coming in to the required
state of mind with the required 'thought process' on the mind right at the time each shot is delivered.
This coming in to such a state of mind involves focus on a simple 'mental technique'- a simple thought process!
Visualization techniques have been used in many games and sports. Golfers, for example, have benefited greatly from applying different mental visualization methods.
Jack Nicklaus, still the greatest golfer of all time, said that he never hit a golf ball before first visualising its flight, even its bounce and roll towards the target. Before every shot, he played this 'mental video'.
If golfers are so precise about their targets, even when hitting fairways seventy yards wide, how much more so do snooker?pool players need to be, when one millimetre can be the difference between a great or a poor shot.
Yes,It's just that playing/not playing the 'mental video'(either intuitively or consciously) and delivering the shot that alone decides the fate of the shot!

What all my research is meant to prove that visual focus is only a pretext and it's the mind at work in completing a distinct routine/thought process that alone dictates the direction/success/miss of the shot....
My study has been about the yoga/inner mechanics of aiming and about the different aiming/pre shot routines...to find a pressure/doubt free and conscious/non intuitive ones rather than the intuitive feel what players get through practice with varying degrees of perfection...precisely,what I found is the present 'vague,however strong in feel, intuitive knowledge' of shot making translated in to 'clear concrete/conscious knowledge'
and well illustrated and explained with diagrams.
My efforts revealed many a simple,non intuitive 'shot routines'/'mental videos' that are/were used by different persons and all these modes are well tested and they are testable by any one interested.I call my system as 'MEDITATIVE AIMING SYSTEM'!(playing not by intuition but with right knowledge as to how to maintain/focus of mind!)
It's simple meditation.It is 'meditation as you play' not requiring any kind of sitting,squatting,closing eyes or praying like things.....but an EASY and NATURAL one that is suitable for every one.Just meditate this way and you got EVERY THING and no need of any thing like ZEN or something else!
A player usually thinks that it's because he/she has not been fixing/seeing the target point the miss has occurred,but it's non/bad completion(mental) of the 'routine'('mental video') that causes miss.
For example let's see one of the existing aiming systems like ghost ball method and the misconceptions/misinterpretations of even other systems can easily be known.
Ghost ball (imaginary ball)method is actually an 'escape' from the fear/doubt posed by the actual target ball(for some).... and nothing else but surely it can make one 'forget' the actual target ball for a moment which is nice and be free from 'distraction' posed by the actual target ball.
But the aiming thing(one's shot routine) is the SAME again - completing the 'shot routine' mentally.
but the player thinks that ghost ball centre,this or that(misconception) is at what he is aiming!
Every player is bound to complete the ROUTINE and is already doing it intuitively(mentally) and this alone results in the success of the shot and miss happens when the shot delivery goes without the ROUTINE due to pressure,doubt,over confidence,over easiness,anger,frustration etc.,and THIS is the FINAL TRUTH about aiming(comes with a testable proof from my research),irrespective of any explanation by any aiming system!
And unless one gets used to this ROUTINE(either intuitively,as in case of all the good players and champions so far,or through 'real knowledge' of my discovery which is meant to lessen the 'burden/struggle' by removing ALL the misconceptions) one CAN NOT become a champion but,unfortunately,becoming a 'champion' is/should be the 'ultimate goal' of every one either in sport or in life!Sport and life are NOT/CAN NOT BE different at all!
Actually,every player,be it carrom,snooker,archery,golf etc.,has the ability of producing(through intuition) two types of shots-plain or spin less shot and spin shot(which depend on their distinct 'mind routines') and his/her calibre develops according to the levels of perception of their shot routines.
Based on the findings(hundreds of shot routines) of my research,I can give any one the mental shot routine of the champions/masters in snooker,for instance, that of Ronnie Sullivan(who plays with a strong intuition of his simple yet solid,unique plain spin less shot routine-https://www.youtube.com/watch?
Just send an email to me at : iamtherealsilencer@gmail.com and I can give you the simple MIND ROUTINE of Ronnie Sullivan(you can test it even with your left hand...it takes only minutes)Either you can adopt it or just keep it,besides your own way of shooting,as a ready 'additional mind tool' whenever you feel the need!
And,for sure,you can play exactly like him or even better than him!!!
Now,how simple these routines/'mental videos' are?
It's just like seeing the position once and doing a little mental work that involves a simple task of small visualization and completing a simple ROUTINE (the KEY part) i.e playing the 'mental video' and delivering the shot and EVERY THING is sure to go well!
Useful in pool/snooker/carrom/golf and even in archery!
THE TWO BIG ADVANTAGES OF THIS SYSTEM:
1.With this system you don't need any guess work...you don't need to think of the aim line,angles..your shot making looks as natural and confident as that of a pro!
2.You will be hundred percent sure of success/miss even before you deliver the shot and hence you have NO reason to get tense/negative/angry etc.,(at least in a match or against a better player)!
3.Most importantly,you will never be a 'doubting Thomas'!You will be always FAR AWAY from 'doubt'!
'Doubt' is the root cause of the 'mess'-confusion,readjustment,recheck,pressure,frustration,struggle,miss/pocketing without ease etc.,are the results.
YOUR "STRUGGLE" IS SURE TO GO!
If there is no doubt/confusion,there is no difference between you and a champion.
Every champion 'knows'(intuitively/feel) the 'REAL TARGET'(due to his unique fixed mental pre shot routine) and hence his mind is relatively unwavering where as others,unable to feel being in doubt or less stronger 'feel' has a wavering/doubting mind..that's all the difference!
This system is the only system that tells 'what/why/how' of that 'feel/intuition' and the shot routine becomes really known and shot making goes without fear/doubt/pressure!
AND THIS SYSTEM ALONE CAN TELL YOU WHAT THAT "REAL TARGET POINT "IS AND HOW TO GET IT IN A SIMPLE WAY!
YOU CAN ALWAYS PLAY WITH THE SAME CONFIDENCE LEVEL WITHOUT AN IOTA OF FEAR OR PRESSURE IRRESPECTIVE OF WHO THE OPPONENT IS!
AND ALWAYS IT'S YOUR PLAY AND CONFIDENCE LEVEL APPLYING ONE OR THE TWO OF THE OPTIONS,LIKE I SAID,TO THE BEST OF YOUR LEVEL (without the nonsensical and unwanted thinking of so called 'external factors') THAT GIVE YOU UTMOST SATISFACTION WHETHER YOU WIN OR LOSE AND THAT IS WHAT IS EXPECTED OF A 'GOOD PLAYER',BE IT SPORT OR LIFE!
ALL professional players follow the same(intuition again) as their intuitive feel of their unique routines(the KEY part) is stronger!
WHO NEEDS THIS SYSTEM?
If you are a champion,you do not need it.You already 'know' it with the help of your strong feel.(of course,if I happen to tell Ronnie Sullivan the secret form of his 'strong feel',he would simply be in ecstacy)
The system is for the rest of the players with lower confidence levels and for those who happen to miss shots due to confusion,pressure or doubt.

OR
(http://www.flyordie.com/games/online/games.html?lang=en&game=Snooker&rs=1
where it's almost like real snooker/pool as only your aiming skill matters and watch/play/interact/learn/ with 'winnerhand'(it's my name there where I usually keep testing my discovered different shot routines).
After all what a player wants is 'ability to produce "controlled/balanced motion" of the ball/coin/arrow,bullet etc.,.Now,the effort what he requires to put in is practice that involves looking at the object ball trying to judge the lines,target points,angles,degrees etc.,...after some time he starts to 'feel' the ability of producing controlled motion and gains some confidence and continues his practice and desires testing his ability by playing against other players.The practice actually involves trials of applying a simple distinct 'thought process/shot routine'(his own and different from all others) and adopts,without his actual knowledge,a 'mind routine' soon.Actually, any player's practice(effort) is trying to get 'addicted' to one's 'routine'......His ability,success depends on how well he adopts this simple 'mind routine' and how consistently can he apply it.Inconsistency in it's successful application makes him suffer,fail and even miserable in case of some people.This 'thought process' behind the successful shot making(that enables one to produce controlled/balanced motion) can be known intuitively(just as a 'feel') through practice and through my simple 'real knowledge.
So a shot routine of an individual is
nothing but a simple,distinct,step wise 'thought process'.
And each routine does have a particular distinct 'form'(my research has revealed so many routines with their forms that are well illustrated with diagrams)
If that 'thought process' is followed mentally/done
properly,the shot is a success(even if you don't want it to!) and it's pleasing and delightful
or if confused and done improperly or not done at all,it results in a
miss.
This art of completion of the routine can be achieved intuitively(through lots of practice with different perfection levels in return)
And the other method is my non intuitive,conscious knowledge based one(it's just knowing what exactly one's mind does while one feels it intuitively) that alone can give one the blissful power of making a successful shot with elevated confidence levels......
Based on the findings of my research,I
can give any one the mental shot routine of the present champions/masters,for instance, that of Ronnie Sullivan(who plays with a strong intuition of his simple yet solid,unique plain spin less shot routine) and Murphy(whose is a solid spin routine) in snooker.
What I just wanted to let every one know is that apart from discovery of so many simple,testable 'mind routines' that alone dictate the direction of a ball,despite the general and so called scientific concepts like angles,mere visual focus on the target point,muscle memory,this and that,I happen to have discovered even the 'mind routines' of some great shooters in snooker like Ronnie Sullivan,Murphy(which they them selves do not know 'consciously' except as mere strong intuition) etc., which are easily(without any practice even) testable by those two players and by every one alike and can play/make shots exactly like them and with the same ease and expertise...
Any one can give it a try and find it for them selves!
One can test these 'shot routines' even with their left hands!

And also the 'mind/shot routines' of many carrom heroes /champions like Nissar Ahmed(with a reputation of being like a magician on the board),Maria Irudayam(with a record of being 7 time devoted national champion)etc.,and that of Mr.Neeraj(carrom passion whose shot routine is a solid spin routine that enables him to execute even critical shots with ease whose shot making skill(intuitive) can be watched at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjThOX9dTYw) and any one who know these routines can play/make shots exactly like them and with the same ease and expertise.Any one can give it a try and find it for them selves!
(I happen to know what those routines( part of many simple shot routines of my
study)I can exhibit them my self and tell others how of it and make them
exhibit the same....it takes only minutes!
In a nut shell,what I want to say is I can tell you how exactly and
with the help of what a simple mental routine you are able to execute
your shots so that your intuitive strength/feel becomes real knowledge
and your exhibition/shot making goes more smoothly and blissful.
In general,for right handed players(who play by intuition) it's difficult to play with left hand but when a player knows the 'shot routine' of what I am talking about,right handed player will not have any difficulty right from the first day of practice and this alone is enough proof as to how the simple non intuitive shot/mind routines of my discovery work!
Also a little about fluke shots....if the ball gets pocketed in to one of the other pockets than the aimed one and it's something that you didn't intend...but there is no such thing like a fluke shot or lucky shot in these skill sports...it's all an 'effort'...may be some times one puts in the 'effort' luckily and those shots might become fluke shots!
But if a shot is successful,one SHOULD have completed the 'shot routine' successfully without one's knowledge-may be in the last moment of shot making and without conscious effort,

In Snooker/Pool/Golf and Carrom etc.,a simple,non intuitive knowledge of one's own shot routine or a generalized pre shot routine(which are well illustrated with simple diagrams) enables him/her make ANY SHOT
(a simple straight ball,long ball,a cut,bank shot etc.,and especially a natural 'positioning') with EASE,TOTAL CONFIDENCE and DOUBT/PRESSURE FREE
