So It's been almost a year, and I'm still working on cte. I'm still having trouble getting the visual sweep down to the point where I'm comfortable with the consistency.
I shoot left handed and my left sweeps are definitely better than my right sweeps and I just don't understand what my eyes are supposed to be doing.
So I think a number of different things are happening when I pivot.
My eyes are always focused on center fixed cueball the entire time:
1. I look at the cueball center, and I visualize the offset my cue is supposed to land on. Almost like a ghost cue that I put my cue on.
2. I can feel the correct amount to turn my body, and I really have to exaggerate the turn to make sure I'm not fighting myself. Some nights I know the exact feeling of how much to turn my body, or "roll" over my shoulder. Some nights I overshoot it.
3. I manual pivot and land in one motion. So my cue is coming straight down on the half tip pre-pivot line, and my tip lands in the center in one motion.
I could be doing a bunch of other stuff, but these seem to be the most obvious ones. They all work but none of them are giving me the confidence that I'm looking for.
I could really use some help from any one who can give more info. I own the DVD's and I've been through the info. I use cte for every shot, but my pivot is what causes me to have to stand back up and keep landing till I get it right.
