Center Pocket Music, the long-awaited CTE Pro One book, by Stan Shuffett.

No, whatever you are calling contact geometry is not easier or more accurate to use for aiming than cte is.

Cte instruction is also free.

This is from wikipedia, please start a new thread and instruct is how this applies to aiming in pool.

"In mathematics, contact geometry is the study of a geometric structure on smooth manifolds given by a hyperplane distribution in the tangent bundle satisfying a condition called 'complete non-integrability'. Equivalently, such a distribution may be given (at least locally) as the kernel of a differential one-form, and the non-integrability condition translates into a maximal non-degeneracy condition on the form. These conditions are opposite to two equivalent conditions for 'complete integrability' of a hyperplane distribution, i.e. that it be tangent to a codimension one foliation on the manifold, whose equivalence is the content of the Frobenius theorem.


The standard contact structure on R3. Each point in R3 has a plane associated to it by the contact structure, in this case as the kernel of the one-form dz − y dx. These planes appear to twist along the y-axis.
Contact geometry is in many ways an odd-dimensional counterpart of symplectic geometry, a structure on certain even-dimensional manifolds. Both contact and symplectic geometry are motivated by the mathematical formalism of classical mechanics, where one can consider either the even-dimensional phase space of a mechanical system or constant-energy hypersurface, which, being codimension one, has odd dimension"

Yes JB not understanding the words <contact geometry> actually found that wiki page detailing whatever discipline that is. And CG is simpler and more accurate than CTE because it shows the contact alignment of any shot. This includes stick/stroke placement. Ball dynamics sold separately.

Lol, contact geometry is not a thing in pool.

Question for Joey A: In a match against J Banares, Anton Raga is shown doing an incremental sweep. He took four test strokes in sweeping from far left to far right on the ball. It was a short thin one to the corner that needed lots of outside. Was this CTE or something else?

Sorry Straightline, I do not know the answer to your question.

What do you think Shawn's chances of "getting it" would have been had he not been geographically connectable with Tyler? And all he had to go on was the book and videos?

I do see he is up to a 540 fargo though so it appears to have taken his game to the next level.

Possibly lower. That only indicates a need for more qualified instruction.

What are the odds of anyone "getting" anything in pool without human instruction? They vary from highly likely to likely impossible.

Imagine what kind of general improvement happens when more people are cooperating on a subject.

Guess the book and DVDs should come with two days of personal, hands-on instruction from Stan.

Look how much that helped you : -o

What's your ulterior motive for knowing who the publisher is.

That's a fair and honorable question by you Cookieman.
I have my own opinionated answer to your question, and here it is: "Smiling faces leave no traces of the evil that lurks within".
Also...."they're smiling in your face, but all day long they wanta' take your place...the backstabbers"
Just some musical memory answers for those, (and I can just about guess who they are), who want to "investigate" the master encyclopedia Center Pocket Music by Stan Shuffett).
Pathetic.

Good grief, he could have easily self-published, that's the only question.

Bingo. Stan said he was delayed for over a year by his publisher so I would have to bet that there was one and it was not self-published (aka "vanity publishing"). I thought it might be the same as Mark Wilson's. The book is only available on Stan's website, which I find odd.
