HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS
Step 1 β€” Position Value
Find the diagonal position line the object ball sits on. That number is your Position Value (P).
Step 2 β€” Alignment Value
Extend the CB→OB line past the CB until it hits the alignment rail. Read that number. This is your Alignment Value (A).
Step 3 β€” The Formula
Overhang = A Γ· P
Then: Overlap = 1 βˆ’ Overhang = your ball fraction.

Table Zones β€” Where Is Your Object Ball?
The table is divided into zones depending on where the OB sits relative to the target pocket. Each zone reads alignment from a different rail. The zones mirror to all 4 corners and both side pockets.
Key: βŠ— = target pocket  Β·  white circle = cue ball  Β·  solid line = aim line  Β·  dashed = path to pocket  Β·  dot on rail = alignment reading point.
