Attention CTE/PRO ONE system users!

An addition is being added to the CTE/PRO ONE object ball major aim points.

For left cuts add OBC as a new object ball aim point. (Now it's A, B, C for left cuts, 2 adjustments.

For right cuts add OBA as a new object ball aim point. (Now it's C, B, A for right cuts, 2 adjustments.)

There will be no CTE visual for the new aim points of A and C as thin cuts.

These new aim points will be described as being used for thin cuts.
The "1/8 very thin overlap" has not changed.

Also, left or right pivots whether manual or in PRO ONE are still to be used for these new aim points.

This is my first and only system update in 2 years and it will soon appear on my website www.justcueit.com and an update notice will be mailed out with all new DVD orders.

I welcome this improvement - a single visual?
Thanks.

Other aspects of CTE/PRO ONE have not changed.

So... When do the new aim points come into play? Currently for left cuts we are using A for straight and thick cuts, B for thin cuts, then shift to 1/8 for very thin. I haven't found any gray areas between B and 1/8 other than a one or two degree area where you can use 1/8 and an outside pivot.

So if 1/8 is still in play, where does C fit in?

Always interested in new information, like you I too find myself refining things over time. I just recently started taking a bit more time on certain categories of cuts that I was taking for granted and have found my careless misses to have dropped dramatically, I thought it was my stroke and it was affecting my confidence but found out I was aiming in a sloppy manner and causing occasionally misses when I wasn't on. Always a constant learning process...

Thanks!

Scott, The 1/8 overlap is an adjustment to actual Cte shots. You should view the new aim points in the same manner.
So, the aim points fit between the core and the 1/8 ball overlap shots.
This will sharpen up the adjustments to CTE for thin to very thin shots.

Scott, There is a study chapter in my DVD: The Toughest Angle in CTE; THE 49 Degree Angle.

Personally, I believe the angles at or near 49 degrees are the most challenging in any system.

Go to that DVD chapter and study the 1st shot at 1 diamond of distance.

Yes, the 1/8 ball overlap with an outside pivot makes the ball but C/inside for this left cut makes this adjustment to CTE much more center pocket.

use abc & cba for cte

thanks Stan for the update.

Stan, I am just now learning the manual portion of CTE and I have the original DVD and can't seem to find chapter 49. In your opinion should I just keep working on what I have and wait to incorporate the new info? I am only 3 days into the learning and practice process. When I originally got the DVD I was totally lost and put it away and swore I would never read another thread on CTE. The other night I decided to watch the 1st part and not get into the Pro1 portion. Bingo--I understood what I was watching. Occasionally I use the wrong pivot but by the same token I am learning to trust the manual system--even when my mind sometimes tells me "no." Should I just put this info on the back burner?
 
A-C cut

Hi Stan,
In your DVD you already include the A - C cut as I recall. When the cue ball and object balls are in the centre of the table ' sorry I don't know the placement numbers" you went to either C for a left cut or A for a right cut.
Which I thought was odd, but it did pocket the ball. Correct me if I'm wrong. To be fair it was an unusuall cut.
Cheers:smile:
 
Gazman100,
In DVD:
Left cuts A/B
Right cuts C/B

NOW ADD C TO LEFT CUTS AND A TO RIGHT CUTS.

Adding those aim points really strenghtens the system in that very difficult area of about 1/4 ball hits or slightly thinner.

I mentioned 49 degree angle, not chapter 49. I was indicating a study chapter at about 27 or 28 for shots at or near 49 degrees. The shot at 1 diamond distance is best executed with C rather than 1/8..

Using the new aimpoints should be quite simple. It should fall right into place between the B and the 1/8 overlap aimpoints.
Many thanks for your work with CTE PRO ONE.
IF I CAN HELP YOU OR ANY OTHER CTE PRO ONE STUDENT IN ANY WAY, PLEASE CALL ME.

ok, lets see if i get this Stan. This new reference will be used after a inside B reference with a cut angle of 49 degrees and greater until you get to the original 1/8 1/8 overlap reference shots and we do use both an inside/outside pivot new reference ?

Champ, Yes, from inside B until the new aim point becomes the proper visual for the aim line.

There is not a set angle such as 49 degrees that always requires a specific aimpoint.

In the study chapter of 49 degree angles, notice how distance changes the aim point from an inside C at 1 diamond....to an inside B for 2/3 diamonds of distance...And at 4 diamonds distance the aimpoint becomes an inside A.

Very interesting study!

The new aim points fall in the Thin category while the 1/8 overlap shots are now described as extremely thin.

just a regular outside c visual i thought i would post up. What do you think Stan, i can do them all if you want?

here is the new reference shot visual, lcbe to C

i am guessing at ball location and the new reference and i have not tried this on a table.

Champ, yes, that appears to be C with an outside or right pivot.
***** The 1/8 has nothing to do with that thin cut, 1 line visual. It's edge to C and a right 1/2 tip pivot.
Thanks, hopefully, interested students are seeing this and can easily plug in the 2 new thin cut visuals.
