CTE aiming method?

[ENGLISH!]

I don't get it. Am I stupid? Please don't answer that! Can anyone explain this method, simply. I'm an old dog w/ a bad eye. I don't see it. I must be missing something. Thanks in advance.

Because of all the controversy this topic causes -- including angry, insulting non-discussions -- aiming has its own forum.

Cte?

Sorry, I withdraw the question. My eye is so bad I probably could not do it if I understood it. I guess I'll keep playing on memory. It's been working fairly well for quite some time now.

1. Look at your shot and determine the angle. (straight, thick, thin, super thin, razor)
2. Find the correct CTE line.
3. Align your body to that line.
4. Without moving find the secondary reference line (it depends of the amount of angle)
5. Focus on both lines and get the visual.
6. Go STRAIGHT IN to the shot and land over the table with a half tip offset to the center of the cue ball
7. Pivot to the center.
8. Shoot the freakin' shot.

This stuff is like dancing, at the begining seems weird but once you got the swing everything gets easier.

And if it works for you, just don't ask yourself why... it's a matter of faith.

I gotta have faith
'Cause I gotta have faith, faith,
'cause I gotta have faith-a-faith-a-faith

The "instructions" in blue above are all undefined. That's why the part in red is so true.

Of course, having faith that your "instinctive" skills will work is part of all aiming methods. CTE just disguises that fact more than most.

Very true!

Don't know the how or why of the system...all I know is, it works for me for the last three or so years.
