the point where the diag line intersects the edge of the OB is
now the OB contact point - to pocket the OB from ANY CB position,
you "hit" the SAME OB contact point - ie shoot the CB so that
it 'replaces' the ghost ball - BTW some people 'aim' using that
method, I don't recomend it.

in the English language as opposed to spin english

Hrm...I recently starting using the ghostball method of aiming (after
sort of giving up on system discussed on this thread), visualizing a
ghost ball and using my cue to aim to the middle of the ghost ball.  I
found it helped my shot consistency significantly.  Is there a reason
not to use this method?  What is it that makes you not recomend it?

By the way, I actually think instructor is pretty great.  I probably
just misunderstood what he was saying, and then he didnt really
understand my objection.  In fact, he videotaped my stroke, and found
some "interstesting" behaviour (like turning my wrist around for some
shots when applying effect) which I have since corrected.  I would
have never seen them on my own.  We are also working on speed control
and building a consistent stroke speed.  He's the real deal I think. 
He also has a BCA certification and enjoys teaching.
