Just some of the terms used when discussing CTE PRO ONE, and what they mean. If you have any other terms that you are uncertain of, reply here and I'll add them.
CTE: Center To Edge, a representational line starting at the center of the cueball and extending to the right-most or left-most edge of the object ball.
CTEL: Center To Edge Line, see above.
OB: Object Ball
CB: Cue Ball
CCB: Center Cue Ball
BALL ADDRESS: An upright position behind the cue ball where the two-line visuals are obtained.
FULL STANCE: A position where a player is bent down on the shot and the cue is directly on the shot line.
LEFT PIVOT: A manual pivoting motion that is a left-to-right movement, starting 1/2 tip to the left of CCB, and pivoting to CCB.
RIGHT PIVOT: A manual pivoting motion that is a right-to-left movement, starting 1/2 tip to the right of CCB, and pivoting to CCB.
INSIDE PIVOT: Another term for describing a pivot in which the pivot direction is away from the cut. For a right cut, a right pivot is an inside pivot. For a left cut, a left pivot is an inside pivot.
OUTSIDE PIVOT: Another term for describing a pivot in which the pivot direction is toward the cut. For a right cut, a left pivot is an outside pivot. For a left cut, a right pivot is an outside pivot.
LEFT SWEEP: A movement that replaces the manual left pivot, and instead sweeps from ball address to full stance, and the eyes move slightly to the left. The end position is exactly where you would be using manual left pivot.
RIGHT SWEEP: A movement that replaces the manual right pivot, and instead sweeps from ball address to full stance, and the eyes move slightly to the right. The end position is exactly where you would be using manual right pivot.
FIXED CUEBALL: The view of the cueball from a very specific eye location. If you move your eyes left or right even the slightest bit, the fixed cueball is lost. Once visuals are obtained, freeze your head and look at CCB. This specific view of the cueball is considered "fixed".
AIMING LINES: The two lines used to address the cue ball, one of them being the CTEL, the other a line from a CB edge to A/B/C on the OB. These lines are in now way equivalent to the actual shot line.
