CTE. Why I think it works...

I wish we would have had time to get some table time in. I find that discussing these things online is really tough to come to any mutual understanding. This ranks up there second only to politics to cause division among players who discuss stuff onlne :-)

And maybe what is hustling as well :-)

Most of the time when I can get someone to the table I can demonstrate it well enough to prove the validity. Except for 10k obviously ;-)

That woulda been cool!

Just strange to me, I see the shot standing up, drop down on it and fire it in the hole, no adjusting. This just seems like "common core" for pool.

Next time I'll take a few mins with you and give it a look. Who knows, maybe I can recommend it to somebody new to the game that can't "see" the shot standing. Everybody's brain and eyes work differently:thumbup:

Thanks

Everyone talks about pros stroke being better. Guess meaning straighter. I question whether they just see contact to contact lines better. Hypothetically if we all had perfect strokes. We would still see shots slightly differently.

It's not the actual stroke that differ. It's the way you pivot to center cue ball. In the pro version, you adjust while standind/coming down on the table as oppose to pivoting once your hand is on the table.

If you are not shooting straight using the pivot, you will not improve using the pro version!

Cheers :)

Are any of you guys that use this stuff even an APA 7, 6, 5? How much have you improved? Shouldn't some of you turned pro by now?

This process helped me a lot when learning CTE

I found that by spending a week on shooting nothing but perceptions of 15 and 30 degrees, using manual pivot, I began to see the real way to play the game.
I left all the one liner shots alone entirely...just shooting 15 and 30.
When I began to understand how to nail those (15&30), I then started into the 45 and 60...which admittedly are much tougher.
It might work for some of you in helping.
Won't hurt to try....remembering PATIENCE PATIENCE PATIENCE. This is an entirely different way from what we were taught with that ghost ball stuff years and years ago.
Just a comment...no lecture.
 
I use contact point to contact point. When I fall on the shot everything is aligned already. If it feels wrong I stand back up and look at the shot again.

I just don't understand what everybody else is seeing(or not seeing in this case) where they have to use a "system" or "method" to find the cut/shot angle?

Can this be explained so I can quit making fun of ya'll ;)

Could you explain this a bit more if you don't kind? I admittedly adjust after my hand is on the table. I don't really play on big tables. So flaws show up more when I do.

I'm not going to make fun of you for what you're using because it's an excellent way of aiming for beginners as well as skilled or pro players but it is in fact an AIMING SYSTEM THAT YOU'RE USING. ONE OF THE OLDEST SYSTEMS OR METHODS OUT THERE ALONG WITH GB.

(Not trying to bust your ba**s or ego, just sayin'. It's a SYSTEM/METHOD)
just a DIFFERENT way of seeing things as all the rest.
