lol. don't lump CTE in with trump and QAnon, not even close to the same thing. I shoot leagues with the guy that started that pic/gif thread. 13 years ago. :)

If I followed the spirit of this forum I’d complain he cut the video between every shot [emoji23]

You know this is absolutely wrong. It’s completely discussed in the other thread about the pre nisl placement of my cue. This is purposefully disingenuous. Dissected and debunked. See other thread “CTE shot to try”

The nisl is defined by your eyes. You put the cue on the nisl. You can look directly at either nisl. The cb edge helps to put focus on the correct one.

Yes point the tip through the cb center. If you look directly at the nisl it is easier to perfect the cue stick on the nisl. Once your cue stick is in place that assures you are looking at the correct nisl. I mean, if you switched your focus to opposite cb edge it will be very obvious the cue is...

Yes the left and right edge make the left ccb and the right ccb stand out from one another. When you focus on the edge of the cb, think of the “white featureless cb face” like a flat disc and point your cue directly through it. Once the cue is there you can then switch your eye focus directly to...

I think I can clear this up. Firstly, my eyes stay at the offset. As I've already stated, at any point I can look back at the AL and SL if I choose to. Second, "CCB" and "NISL" are synonyms. We didn't have "NISL" terminology until the book. It was always stated as "CCB is the target", which is...

This is what happens: I stand behind the AL such that I can see the SL. This puts my eyes at an offset. I follow the SL into full stance. I can check everything over here if I choose to. I step the CB to see the NISL. I move my cue stick onto the NISL. I stroke the cue on that CCB. What I’m...

I don’t think my reply to your last video was read very carefully. Maybe I’ll do a follow up video. I don’t feel like retyping everything said. I will say that the focus of my video was to break down every step of the process as I went along. This is not a normal cadence. I did not focus on...

Stan posted a useful blog post. He estimates 100 hours to be proficient at seeing aim lines. https://www.justcueit.com/blog/determining-the-proper-aim-line-is-simple

Wrong. It’s already explained I’m putting the cue on the NISL. The NISL is the CCB seen by the perception offset. Not adjustments.

I thinks so. What I’m saying is for each of these CB OB orientations, although they use the same 30I process, they are all unique in that they all have their own unique alignment to AL and SL, or otherwise unique visual perception, which results in a unique NISL for that orientation. The...

I'm talking about the placement of the CB/OB on the table. Each placement is a unique perception. Consistent and repeatable. I'll repeat, I think its more like the postion of the CB and OB on the table surface, so more than just the target pocket. I can cover the pocket from my view and still...

I shoot the shot based on the AL and SL I see. It's the same for a given CB/OB orientation. If my brain is somehow wiring up what the AL and SL look like based on past knowledge of the given shot, then that is perplexing given that the same process works all over the table, regardless of my...

I agree that this is the problem some people have with CTE and the big question of WHY. Two CB OB positions, same distance apart, same perception and same pocket, resulting in two different shot line angles. Clearly the positions of the balls on the table do affect our perception, starting clear...

Why don't we start with you first learning the system with the steps provided, and if something isn't working we can discuss what might be going wrong. Leave the lasers and solving the WHY for a later time. Let's get you at least functional with the steps. Maybe we should start with a much...

I want to make one more clarification: the eyes can do all the steps to find the NISL from both ball address and full stance. For instance, at ball address I can find the AL and SL, then step the CB to find the left or right CCB (NISL). That is the shot line. I have done nothing with the cue...

Think about it. If the NISL is always exactly CCB from the given visual offset, what really matters exactly where the cue is coming in from? I could keep the cue in the air and sweep direct to the NISL if I wanted to. That is much of what pro one is. I like the 1/2 tip offset to the SL because...

When I place my cue on the table I'm not "aiming" at anything yet, I'm simply placing the cue on the table nearby where my eyes are doing the work, basically the 1/2 tip offset position. This is purely by habit, I like to bring my cue tip into that position because it is a very natural pivoting...

I think you are doing the massaging here, but ok. 1. The whole declaration around "CTE works on a 2x1 table" means that using CTE you can find a NISL connection to most, if not all pockets on the table, for a given CB/OB position, with a CTE perception and pivot. This can be demonstrated. It...
