John,

If you want proof just:

1) Put a cue ball out and line up with center.

2) Look to see where you are lined up.

3) Move your bridge slightly to the left or right while keeping the cue ball in the same place.

4) Move your tip back to center cue ball.

5) See if you are still aimed in the same place.

If you did the above then you clearly see how a change in bridge location affects the line of the shot.

Now ask yourself this:

Is it possible to obtain the exact same bridge location relative to the cueball and the line of the shot every time with either a pro one left pivot or a pro one right pivot?

The great thing about being on someone's ignore list is that you can comment on what they write and they can't respond. It's like they are handicapping themselves. I think it's great because then I don't have endure the little biting insults that Lou puts out and be distracted by them.

The only downside is that I don't think I will ever get my chance to spot him a ball 9/8 for $100 a game. Which is just as well since I have a built-in excuse for losing in that he is a pro-class amateur going up against a part-time B-player. But if I should win, imagine the humiliation. It would be almost as bad as Duckie beating anyone on AZB. :-)

My point is it's "SILLY" how someone with such "THICK SKIN" has half of his "MONKEYS" on "IGNORE."

Lou, put the cherry-flavored lipstick away and ixna the ignore list. Unless, of course, your psoriasis-like thick skin is more like a see-through skin graft. :-)

This could be your golden opportunity to humiliate Lou.

Just recently, I learned that if I use the small end of the stick to hit the cb and not the big end with the rubber bumber, the cb is easier to move around plus the stick is easier to hold.

I might have a chance to beat someone now.

I can fall with PRO ONE on a shot line and the eyes will have located CCB first. The bridge placement comes after the eyes have done their work.
So it would not make one bit of difference if my bridge placement was purposefully 4 inches off to the side. MY EYES HAVE ALREADY LOCATED CCB AND I WILL JUST MOVE MY BRIDGE TO WHERE MY EYES LED ME IN THE FIRST PLACE.
CTE PRO ONE is an extremely potent visual system.

It would be very nice to watch ''pro one'' or ''real cte'' players, play faster. The ones i have watched play very very slow. You have to ''win the crowd '' (gladiator movie....).

Stan answered this as well, but to elaborate - just like with normal ghost ball shooting, you have to position your body in a certain spot and your eyes are looking at the ghost ball, contact point, etc. As you bend down to the shot you don't look at the spot on the table where your bridge hand lands, it just happens through practice. At first you have to adjust it manually, but after some practice you just land in the right spot to support the shot.

Same thing with CTE, Pro1, SEE, etc. - your eyes find the lines, and as you pivot or rotate into the shot line your bridge will land in the appropriate spot to support the intended shot. Agree that bridge length will affect manual pivoting, not as much when performing various types of air or hip pivots.

Obviously bridge hand placement in different place means a different shot line. But with cte the bridge automatically drops to the right position. That is the major advantage to cte.

Yes it is pretty much the same thing i have said for years. He can get played, i will donate up to 500 to see how i do. It is the least i can do for him considering all he has done for me.

However i have no illusion that i can beat lou and especially not because i use cte and he does not. I will just give my best shot and hope i am relaxed and fit if we play.

Yes it is possible. In fact you could set up any shot you want and landon or stevie could land on shot line perfectly every time. I would say any proficient proone user could do this as well.

You havent seen me play then. Landon plays with a nice tempo as does phil burford.

Jb i think i have watched all your youtube videos. You were talking about ''pivoting to ghost ball'' and other funny things !!!!!!!!!!!! It doesn't seem that you are such a good shooter. That's my opinion of course. Landon and stevie shoot really well. But they are very slow players. And people love to watch fast players playing good pool.

I use Pro One and usually average 12 to 15 seconds per shot in rotation pool. I don't know how fast you want to see someone play but that's about how I played before Pro One. Besides, what does it matter... it's not a foot race, it's a quest to make the money ball (whether it be the 8, the 9, the 8th ball in 1hole or the 150th ball in 14.1) before your opponent!
 
I agree with you bobn. But an average of 25-30 seconds between shots would be fine. More than a minute is too much for a good player. And a player who plays slow is never a good one. He tries to ''play'' the other player and not the table. Or he is not very smart. My opinion.

By "automatically" John means "by feel gained through practice". It's the special language used to tell the CTE Legend.

I was slower at first while having to learn the system, think about the shot, determine the lines/pivot, etc., but other than taking an additional second or two while aiming I'm at the same speed I was before. And after watching more and more pro matches, I find that taking just a bit more time when aiming and approaching every shot down the line instead of hurrying through the rack is a good idea anyway and has reduced the number of careless mistakes I used to make.
