It was formulated by English scientist/mathematician Thomas Wright (<---- probably a snooker player himself - now I know why they shoot so straight :eek:) in 1742, partially based on his long-time studies of pythagorean mathematical theorems...the pic that I have included here is a partial template of his aiming system.

PS, I've been looking at the cue that the angel on the top left is holding - looks like maybe a plain jane made of claro walnut and maple...:heh

PPS, And also take note...the cue shaft on the top left has a pro taper, whilst the shaft on the right has a conical/3cushion players taper...:eek: :eek: :eek:

PPPS, I just posted this thread over at az.b to mess with them...let's see if any of the aiming system fanatics pm me for more info on this system...:lol

That is beautiful, really. That does about sum it up too; a picture is worth a hell of a lot more than 1000 words in this case.

Btw, I thought there were only 3 aims :confused:

For each person that walks into the room u adjust by exactly one tick. Each door opened is five ticks. It works perfect every time, even with the big cue balls.
