im trying to use CTE pro1 aiming again ,i quit using it a month ago because of not having it to work on long shots(5diamonds distance of CB to OB or more), i always ended up undercutting or overcutting it..but im consistently potting balls when its only a half table distance.. what should i do to make it work on long shots guys?any tips or hints please..

ps. i dont have a copy of dvd bcoz i cant afford it :( .but i still hope its ok to ask about tips or secrets of the system, if not its ok guys. 😅

Can you provide a diagram? Also, what is the perception and what sweep are you using, if any?

sorry i cant provide a diagram , but my perceptions are CTE-ETA, CTE-ETB, CTE-ETC, ETC/ETA ... i always undercut/overcut the shots especially the CTE-ETB perception..

On shots over 4.5 diamonds cb to ob. Use a or c wth inside sweep. Set up the shots with reinforcement rings. Work on your sweeps from the inside to thin the shot. STAN EXPLAINS THIS IN THE VIDEOS what happens over 4 diamonds. Make sure you step into the shot the same way everytime. Hope this helps. After 4.5 diamonds the cte etb those two line perceptions are very very close. Just try eta or etc with inside sweeps to thin. Even thou your gut tells you etb distance from ob to cb is the key.

You needs the dvds if you dont know what the sweeps are. Youtube has all the information on sweeps and why. They help you thin or thick the shot within the category you choose. This why your missing the shots! Save your pennies buy the dvds they are worth it.
