CTE/Pro One Practice Tip

[nobcitypool]

I've struggled more with footwork and alignment than most anything else with CTE/Pro One. Here's something I've started doing to help me get myself in the proper position to see the visuals and then step into the shot properly.

Most everybody has a reasonable idea of how you'd line up to hit most any shot. So think about how you might have hit the shot before using CTE/Pro One. Go down as if you were going to hit the shot. Keeping your back foot in position, now move backward to where you're standing upright with your front foot now "retracted". You'll likely find that you're close to being aligned for your CTE/Pro One visual. Fine tune tune the visual to where you have it, now move into the shot with the proper sweep. If you've kept your back foot in place throughout this, you should be in a comfortable position to shoot.

Do this playing the ghost for each and every shot. This is helping me right now getting into the right position to see the visuals quickly and more naturally. The obvious goal is to get to what Stan referred to in the DVD as "lock and load" where you're in rhythm and playing at a reasonable pace.

Hope this helps.

Are you right handed or left? Right or left eye dominant?


A lot of the tips you've mentioned have helped me a bit. For me, it too seems that my challenge is getting that footwork/stance/alignment down. Left cuts still come easier to me. And I am thinking that this may partially be because of the body offset I take with left cuts comes more natural than right cuts.

If possible, would you be able to do a diagram or a picture of what your perspective is with 2 mirrored shots, one cut to the left and one to the right? And show your CTE and aimpoint visuals?

Apologies if that's a lot to ask, I would just really like to see it like someone else sees it.
