CB center used for CTE v4 (Shuffett Pro One)?

Hi,
I am reviewing the CTE v4 write-up/interpretation on Dr Dave's site: http://billiards.colostate.edu/threads/aiming.html#CTE which states "Then drop and slide into your stance straight towards the CB, placing your bridge to align with the cue 1/2 tip of the CB's center". What line am I supposed to use to determine the "CB's center"? Is my reference the original CTE line? Or do I reference the CB center based upon the inside edge of the CB and the given alignment point on the OB (e.g., "inside 1/4). I understand the 1/2 tip offset and pivot, but wondering what line is used to determine the CB center. Been researching, but unable to find this specific point. Thanks
 
.. OH NOOOOO>.... Please move this to the AIMING FORUM.... I feel the key boards warming up as we speak!
 
You may think of the center of the cue ball as the line that runs upwards from the point the cue ball touches the cloth intersecting with the line represented by the horizontal equator. The true center of the cue ball would be its core and you couldn't see that due to the rest of the cue ball covering it.
 
Manual pivot and PRO1.

This video will help you determine how to sweep right or left depending on your perception. There are several other videos that Stan has posted that are very helpful at explaining some things that you may be struggling with.

The center as in the ball core center how you see it. You can hit points on the vertical axis to do follow, stun or draw.

I know 3 methods (I came up with 2 and 3 myself, will appreciate any comments/suggestions):

1. Imagine the vertical axis separating the ball equally.

2. Find the closest point to my eyes in the CB. My eyes are very sensitive to stereo-depth and I use this method.

3. Use the top or bottom arc of the ball to identify the center (the real center will be located below/above where the arc is exalted). The later method works really well for me for finding OB center, specially when the OB is very far.

I really suggest you to buy the DVD2 if you want to learn and can afford it. It helps with a systematic approach when learning the system and also contains a lot of non-CTE Pro One specific information and besides you get a very good and prompt support from Stan.

4. Put the tip of your cue on the table at the base of the vertical axis. Note the reflection of your cue upward on the cueball. Move your cue up and down, use the reflection as a visual clue to the true vertical axis center.
