I know He's a 'system nut' so here's one for you Larry that I developed many years ago.
It has some different Math involved, but you'll get it.
BTW, this is a excerpt form one of a few a 3C clinics I held at, Southside Billiards in Savannah, GA. between 2012-13.
Here's diagrams that may help you Larry.
In Diagram 2, the calculation is as follows, (CB6) + (SP2) = 8, (SP2)/ (CB6) + (SP2) = 2/8 the fraction reduced = ¼, divide the distance (CB6) lies across the table from (SP2) which is 4 diamonds, ¼ of 4 diamonds = 1 (AP1) aiming point on 1st Cushion.
Note: The English applied in this system is consistently 12 O’clock English. A Moderate-Soft, Normal Stroke is used.
BTW, How to tell when a numeric system is Really a 'Mathematical' system. When the system actually works mathematically, 'Across & the Length' of the table in the correct Aspect Ratio.
The next example in Diagram 3 shows the system hitting the long rail first. The calculation is simple, cue ball position (CB4) + scoring point (SP2) = 6, (SP2) / (CB4) + (SP2) = 2/6, reduced = 1/3, divide the distance (CB4) lies from the end of table from (SP2), which is 6 diamonds, 1/3 of 6 diamonds = 2 (AP2), aiming point on 1st Cushion.
