Okay, first, I am NOT trying to start a controversial thread!
I’m (essentially) new and am fooling around with different aiming systems. So far, CTE is... well, a bit over my head. Having said that, this is likely a dumb question.
Okay, so what is the purpose of pivoting back once you ‘aim’ at the OB’s contact point? Why not just keep the contact point ‘locked’ in your mind before taking the stroke?
I read something somewhere about this and have tried to find the link to post it but I can’t find it now dawgonnit. Suffice it to say that although I detected the ‘article’ was in English, I couldn’t make heads nor tails of it.
Oh, also, when you pivot, do you pivot your bridge hand (doesn’t look like it) or your grip hand (that doesn’t make sense to me either but remember I’m new) and leave it pivoted when you take the stroke?
Any takers?
I’ve got the Poolology book on the way but I’m totally destroying what little ‘game’ I had (recreationally) and building it from the ground up since I got a table at home. Therefore I’m looking at a tried and true aiming system that I can learn and ‘build in’. Not going pro at all, I just adore the game and want to get as good as I can.
Thanks in advance!!
