Well, after my first day of CTE, Monday, I had 2 options:
1) Use prefect positioning to make every shot 35°-55° cuts
2) Start Over
I chose #2.
This evening I read all the notes I made, NOT MUCH, from various websites that I visited last month. I was reluctant to try the system until tonight, after losing last night, my 5th of 6 matches this session.
It took about an hour or more but I think I've finally got it. I continue to struggle with the really easy shots, 15° or less, but if I can't make them on my own, no system is going to help me.
I concentrated on cut shots of 35 degrees and higher. I tried the shots below and had great success. Page one, I was 11 of 12. Page 2: 4 of 4 and Page 3: 3 of 3. I couldn't try more because the table I use is in our Clubhouse and the lights go out at 11:45pm and I didn't figure out CTE until after 11pm. I also tried two shot of about 80-85° and made them too.
Now, are these the easier shots? Also, from my notes and practice, it seems that it's really not CTE once the angle is over 60(?). Is this correct? I hope this wasn't beginner's luck and tomorrow's effort is a complete failure.
I have my 9 ball league tomorrow night. I plan on using the system for the entire night, except the straight in shots that I struggled with tonight. I hope I retain everything from tonight.
Tonight's table and tomorrow's game table are quite different. The felt on tonight's table wasn't installed, IT WAS GROWN. Well, it is rather slow compared to tomorrow night's (Thurs) match table.
I will try to post my success/failures from tomorrow's match.
