**A Simplified Aiming System for Billiards Beginners**

**[Musika] First, we want to congratulate our two-time world champion Carlo Biado. And once again, we know how hyped the pool players are right now—especially beginners who rush into the pool, eager to practice. But wait—first, watch this before you start practicing to ensure your practice sessions are high quality. This is our timely topic. So let’s watch the video. It’s a summary of a very useful and basic aiming system—perfect for beginners. This topic is ideal for your practice. Okay? The first method is called *fractional aiming*. Some call it the *fractional aiming system*. Here, we divide the ball into five parts: 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. These lines help you align the cue ball. Now, I’ll show you the *dead straight* 50% line so you can see where the direct hit lands. Right now, that’s the 50%. I’ve already marked the center line at 50%. If you hit the cue ball at that spot on the object ball, I’ll show you where it will go. This helps you visualize the 75% and 100% lines. It’s simple. Next, in the latter part of the video, I’ll explain *thin cut* and *edge-center-to-center aiming*. For *edge-to-center*, first align the edge of your ferrule or cue tip with the object ball’s edge. Then, twist your backhand toward the cue ball’s center. Once your cue automatically aligns with the object ball’s aiming spot, it will snap into place.
