I have never really attempted to pin down a range for the groups. A lot of it is readily apparent. You don't shoot a 15 degree angle with a 45 perception. The truth of the matter is is that I could take any 1 line system and group any given shot into a 15 30 45 or 60. For example a 0 4 7 or 11...

By far, your best description of CTE that I've read. At proficiency, though, there are no steps that are discernible. It's See and align. The beauty of understanding CTE at its proficiency level is that the player knows exactly what has occurred at the subconscious level. I can just drop on a...

The objective for most all games is to get the balls in the hole and CTE is a beast at doing just that. When the situation calls for doing something other than ball pocketing that does not mean that I have to revert to a different visual style for getting things done. GOOD GRIEF! I give up...

Even if a 1 line system had 8 lines per each side of the OB, that's NOT enough for a CCB center pocket declaration. There's 360 ticks on the CB and 360 ticks on the OB. Simply put, 1 line is not sufficient enough for solving exact tick to tick relationships from a left brain descriptive...

It's apples and organges. For the most the part 1 line aiming using a LOT of aim space on the OB. 1 line aiming often results in uncertainty creating a lack of confidence and confusion. Some days on other days perhaps not so much. When I say 3 lines, I mean 3 known lines......I want the known...

Spot on! Using both eyes as an equal team is optimal for the purest form of CTE. My advice is to maintain that approach. It will make your visual alignments adjustments for learning CTE much easier. Stan Shuffett

You make some legit points and this is where I must add some context. You aim conventionally seeking to narrow your focus along one line. There's lots of visual spaces from which that can happen for traditional aiming. CTE expands one visual focus rather than narrowing it. You focus on one line...

You can have your age-old opinion that will never change. That's fine by me but to say that a group of experienced players can not align visually to see the fullness of one sphere to another as a zero angle is ca ca. That concept extrapolates very nicely to the CTE perceptions of which you...

Tony, A good post. BUT you say that we all see things differently. I disagree with that assertion. That would be like setting up a zero angle shot and asking a dozen students to see the Cb OB relationship as center-to/-center. And then they all would see center to center differently. Nope...

That's it alright. I just know why that you are touting another system as essentially having known CCBs across the board. Therefore, why is it such a mystery for me to have known CCBs across a small number of perceptions? Do you see the contradiction or I am missing something? Stan Shuffett I'm...

Freddie had no reason to tell this individual anything other than factual info. The relay to me was that he did not learn CTE from Hal but that he did develop a thorough understanding for Small Ball and S-Bob. I don't think it's a secret. Freddie, I'm sure, is very accommodating and I hope that...

You just what you are doing and it's called PIVOTING. Let's get to the crux of the matter for the CCB concern that you have. Stan Shuffett

I only know what he told a recent caller. What I said. Stan Shuffett

I think that Freddie is on record as not knowing (Hal's) CTE. Perhaps he has his own version. I think that he has sharpened up Hall's Small Ball system and Shiskabob. Stan Shuffett

Surely you don't think that I'm flustered. You're the one that's in the corner. What's so special ( now ) about knowing CCB? That bridge has already been crossed! Right? Surely, you are not saying that I'm breaking new ground. This is fun just like beating that old Fancy Dan pin ball...

Good pivot! Fancy Dan. See, you can pivot. Stan Shuffett

Crux of the matter! You have a system in Brian's that gives you a known CCB covering essentially. all shots. You should be good to go. Don't pick on me. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Stan Shuffett

Yup......I see the shot knowingly.......It's boring about like the challenge of seeing a straight in shot in your world, prolly easier. Stan Shuffett

That's true. Each of those perceptions covering a wide range of angles have known CCBs whether it's for inside or outside alignments. It's nothing more than see the perception and align to center. Stan Shuffett

You are absolutely correct! Were it not for friendly angles conducive to running out on a 10 footer such as 15s and 30s, chances of success diminish greatly with 45s and 60s for that size surface. Any shot on a 10 footer is automatically 25% tougher right off the because of distance and then...
