Just FYI Stan makes a training ball that accompanies the book. So we are not working with made up adjustments for the AL and SL. They are hard lines on the OB when using the trainer.

This is an interactive animated GIF. It follows your eyes and puts a black dot on where you focus. :oops:

I do remember! CB edge to AL and CBC to SL [emoji23]

NO SH**. That’s progress duckie. congratulations.

So my question to this is, how would my guesses, or intelligent adjustments, or whatever you labeled them as, how would they alter the way an AL and SL look at a given orientation? I know what I see and align to, I’m not standing there going “yeah the AL and SL could look right from here and...

I don't recall details around your non 2x1 table, but here are my ideas around that. When a CTE perception/pivot is performed on 2x1 table, or more specifically, a table where pockets are adjacent to each other to form perfect squares, most if not all of the CTE perception combinations (15I/R...

If I’m subconsciously changing how to see the AL and SL such that CCB is the shot line consistently and repeatable accurate with no guessing, then I guess you are right? [emoji28]

Yes the specific orientation and pocket determines which perception and pivot to use. From there you put your eyes at an offset to see AL and SL and then find CCB.

There is an issue with that statement. The AL and SL are very clearly defined when the perceptions are executed properly. No guessing, no estimating, no feel. The AL and SL are always acquired with the same visual process, consistently and repeatedly for a given CB/OB orientation. There is none...

I think we are getting closer. Your definition of "the same" for (the 30) is aligning the SL and AL in a physically identical way for every orientation. My definition of "the same" is aligning to the SL and AL as a perception that results in a physically unique NISL. This perception is affected...

Not a problem. I'm curious what you mean by four lines? I talk about the SL and AL. And I talk about the NISL (which is the shot line, just different terminology). But I'm not sure where you are coming up with four lines. As for the newcomer, this thread is in no way a beginner guide or an...

The perceptions are there, it’s a matter of learning what they look like and how to properly align to them. 10 years ago CTE was very perplexing to me. I also had limited information compared to what we have today. But a couple weeks at the table going through the motions made it click. Once you...

Sounds good. I just want to mention, I have no dog in this fight. I don't make a dime. I'm not coming here to argue or make people mad. I'm genuinely interested in finding out if common ground can be made. I have no personal plight with anyone on this forum, and I try very hard not to make...

Ironic, as it sounds like you are the one closed to possibilities other than what have convinced yourself of. I try to (and do) follow the CTE instructions to a tee, which result in pocketing balls when my stroke is good. Not the other way around. I really think the problem you are having is not...

Whatever is, it’s consistent and repeatable even with pockets covered or bank shots. I’m not forcing the SL and AL in any way. They are all unique, and they do not equate to 2D laser lines.

Looking back at the OB during shot execution is a matter of preference. It should not affect your alignment on the NISL. You can look at CB or OB last. NISL is the same. I’m not sure why it first works and second doesn’t. Maybe practice both shots 10 times a day for a few days, see if...

You don’t need to look at the OB again once you are done with AL and SL. You can look directly at either NISL depending on which eye is doing the focusing. Looking at the CB edge helps to guide you to the proper NISL. Once you get cue on/near you can switch your focus off CB edge to CCB. Dialing...

My review would hold no water here, I’d be labeled as an advertisement [emoji23]

Fair enough. I think your hangup is that you can't believe it can possibly work as described if nobody can explain in scientific detail the connection of the perception process to the pocket. Until someone can do that, you will find reasons why I must be wrong. What I'm hoping is you can reach a...

full disclosure I was sent a free book, as I'm listed as an endorsed instructor in the back. I also purchased a 2nd copy at full price, as I wanted to support Stan and have an extra copy.
