Fellow CTE Enthusiasts,
If I could get an answer to this one hurdle in my CTE learning journey I would be thrilled. Last night's match against my buddy proved mostly successful but there was so much uncertainty in my alignments.
Here's my question.
When I am standing behind the cue ball and the shot before me is a left cut and requires a 15 degree perception (it's not quite a straight-in but closer to 20 degrees) I will first line up ETA with my vision center. With my body remaining still I will move my eyes to the CTE line (it never lines up) and begin to shift my body in a direction that will move the center-cue-ball-edge-line closer to the object-ball-edge. I consider my vision center to be a sort-of vortex that moves until there is equal spacing between the exact object ball points ('A' and edge) and the two lines from the cue ball (edge and center). Surprisingly, I make many more balls than I miss now but want to be sure that this CTE fundamental is understood correctly. Am I on the right track?
I keep reading that "there is only one correct visual per shot". I'm sure there is but would like to know how that "correct visual" appears on the object ball given the visual lines from the cue ball.
Can't wait for Stan's book and Truth Series.
