Visual Sweeps Support Video

Thanks Stan.

That was a great visual demo.

I'm not a CTE user yet. Been waiting for your new video.

Been playing for over 50 years but never pass up an opportunity to learn something new or different.

John :)
 
AWESOME GREAT WONDERFUL VIDEO STAN! :) :D :) :D

I do not have more questions regarding any subject on CTE Pro1, everything is clear.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, this couldn't been explained better. :)

Thanks Stan. From the first DVD I always thought this was the center-to-edge line and not center of fixed cueball. Therefore I never really paid attention to the V in my bridge, as I could never make sense of it. This clears things up immensely. Defining "fixed cueball" should also clear things up for the newcomers.

Stan, that was well done and helpful. If I'm understanding it right, when all is said and done, it is about developing that visual sweep so you're essentially moving 1/2 tip right or left every time as dictated by the original set of visuals and whatever the specific shot calls for. Correct? I believe this is what Neil said in another thread a few days ago. Please also clarify this as follows. That visual sweep isn't a perception and it is the same for all shots other than it is either right or left. In other words, my head/eyes don't move any more/less if the CB is 6" from the OB or 6 diamonds; or if the original visual perceptions were CTE, edge to A, B or C; or if it is edge to a or C or 1/8 overlap? Is that correct?

This has been confusing to an extent. I've heard people say you sweep, see the shot line and move into CCB. What I believe really happens is you get the correct visual perception, perform visual sweep precisely and the move into CCB. That now is in fact the shot line. Please clarify that I am understanding this correctly.

This is most certainly true. You can't see a shot line on a 3-rail bank can you? You don't look for a shot line. You look for CCB, move into CCB, shoot CCB. You might use the shot line to double check your alignment, in case you did something obviously wrong.

Yes, I agree. The main visual consideration is that the eyes always perceptually start 1/2 tip away from the shot line.

Stan, GREAT video!!! I don't think the concept of visual sweeps could have been explained more thoroughly!

Wow.
Complete with foot work as well. Now we can all get some sleep.
Looking forward to DVD 2.
Love the blues music as well.
:smile:

Stan,
If I'm understanding this correctly...The center line you represented would be your CTEL when set up properly, visually??

Yes, this was always obvious and right in front of me, no pun intended, but all in all the system is intact. It's the language that lags behind and the math as well.

So, your point is very good. The offset for manual pivoting is based on the centerline of a fixed cue ball not a center to edge line.

But having said that, the V placement placement in fact could be left and right of the CTE line......I have studied this and I know this to be true to an extent and do plan on revisiting my earlier studies for this.

The CTE visual offset is KEY in locking onto a correct aim line perception. This is what fixes the cue ball.

Thanks, so I guess you won't need DVD2.....just kidding.:)

Glad my video helped,

Thanks, John! I appreciate your positive comment. I plan on many more support videos as needed.

The center line I used was in concept based on a fixed cue ball.

The CTEL or perception has already done its work in establishing "the fixed cue ball".

I got it now! Went back and re-watched the video, and paid attention this time! LOL

Thanks Stan, great video. I've got your DVD. One thing remains unclear to me: what objective visual line fixes the cue ball, and represents the tape line in that video? Is it the CTE line, the CBE to A, B, or C line, or some kind of blend of those two lines?

Once a visual is seen:
For example:
CCB TO ROBE
LCBE TO OBA

Those perceptions give you a fixed cue ball. Of importance, your visuals are NOT obtained from being directly behind either line.

Your manual or visual sweeps are based on that view of the cue ball.
