No Diamonds? Use These 3 Kick Shot Systems

What do you do when you need to kick at a ball, but there are no diamonds on the table? In this video, I show you 3 simple ways to aim kick shots without using the diamond system. We go over the path-in/path-out method, a basic halfway-distance method, and parallel shifting for shots where the balls are not lined up perfectly. These systems are great when the diamonds are missing, covered, or you just want a simple way to find the kick without doing a lot of calculation. The goal is to stop guessing and give yourself a real aiming reference.
