    CTE Stepping Cue Ball.

    There are two NISLs available for any given CTE visual, one on each side of CTEL. The NISLs are two separate shot lines. Left eye is dominant for left NISL, right eye dominant for right NISL. The left CB edge will bring the left NISL to your peripheral vision. The right CB edge will bring the...

    What would you do here?

    Sure miss Freddy.

    I messed with it but results were a mixed bag. Forcing myself to align to them as close as possible did not necessarily result in pocketing balls. That is probably because when you line up the lasers, it’s not the same visual lines you find when looking at them by parallax. And yes they are 2D...

    This is just an observation I made at the table. Interesting nonetheless. I don't know if this means anything, but I thought I'd share. I setup this specific shot at the table, it is a 30I to the upper right corner pocket. For illustration purposes I drew the CB as a double-vision ball as one...

    Confident and strong does not make correct. We see two different objects in close (and far) proximity when looking at an object. He doesn't understand that.

    As I just explained a few posts back, when you focus on the OB you see two separate cue balls in the foreground. This can be easily tested by closing one eye at a time and taking notice. So no, it's not that cut and dry. Your eyes work together to focus on a specific place at any one time. Other...

    Pictures are a 2D perspective. You’ll never get past that it seems.

    Sorry, but your arguments don't change anything. You are working with incomplete data. Your rule definition isn't taking into consideration that perception is a visual concept that doesn't fall within the math constraints of rulers and 2D lines. We have two eyes viewing onto the surface with two...

    Simple protractor/ruler/laser logic would suggest everything is always the same. But at the table, when lining up AL and SL just as carefully and precisely as possible, the stepped center ends on the NISL to a pocket. So clearly the shot picture on the surface of the table affects our...

    Go ahead and sneer, meanwhile I'm pocketing balls better than I ever could with PIITH guessing aiming.

    It's not nearly as complicated as it sounds. We are dissecting everything in this thread for the sake of... science? But in reality all you do is follow simple instructions: put your eyes at an offset to see AL/SL, then look at CCB, then as Hal would say, whack it :)

    OK so science and logic dictate that if the CB/OB are the same distance apart, you would get the same physical alignment from anywhere. That is assuming your eyes are on the AL/SL like lasers on 2D lines drawn from the CB to the OB. But in reality that isn’t how it works. While aligning to the...

    The uniqueness of the shot starts at AL/SL. Not NISL. I’ve tried to point this out numerous times over many videos and threads of discussion over years. When I align to AL/SL for a given shot, then move the orientation of the balls on the table and again align to AL/SL, I can often tell the...

    Yes exactly!! I focus on the fast. Eating healthier and exercise is bonus!

    I checked the definition. I was right ;)
