CTE PRO ONE
There's only 3 or 4 shots. There are defined perceptions for each shot with known CCBs. I played the ghost a race 7 on my 10 footer a good while back. 95% of my shots were 15s and 30s. I put that video up on Vimeo. Anyway, it's nice to primarily play 2/3 perceptions all the time that have no guess no adjustment CCBs. What I really love about using CTE is that it's an every shot natural ordeal. It's never one shot here and one shot there. It's a a complete way of always seeing and aligning. I would compare it to what you know, Denwit, about a straight-in. You see it, you know it and align to the known center. In CTE every shot is just exactly like that. I'm bored to death with it, it's so easy. It's like Hal said, If you learn CTE it may ruin your game.

This comment isn't intended to promote or demote CTE, but just an observation.
If 95% of your shots are 15 degrees and 30 degrees, it means you are playing the table angles to leave "relatively" the "same" shot, over and over.
C.J. Wiley does the same thing with the TOI playing system he promotes.
I try to play my position the same way. I tell people, over and over, I feel like I'm shooting the same shot all the time (if I'm playing well at the time).
If you leave 15 and 30 degree angles all the time it is "easy" to move the cue ball to almost any position on the table without much difficulty.
Position is just as important as aiming. If you can't play position, your aiming is going to run out at some point.
I would like to learn CTE. I think I probably utilize some of it without even knowing it. When you play for over 50 years, your brain somehow figures out what you are supposed to do (for me, that is...maybe not for everyone).
