When feel I have moved the estimated amount and direction I stop, usually I can just nudge and drop her down on the ball. I normally do everything alone so I don't have the luxury of someone standing back there.

Also, rear view cameras are cheating! Besides anyone who has them has WAY to much money and we should tax the hell out of them
I try to do it this way also, hopefully the diesel won't surge and crush some. I'll be trying the first time Saturday.
