"I have been struggling to understand what gearing meant in a practical sense. I know you have explained it several different ways but my mind was just not wrapping around what you were explaining. Even after watching the videos I was still confusing myself for some reason. I consider myself an intelligent person. But I just couldn’t grasp what you meant by “gearing”. It just clicked with this post. I’m not sure you said anything much different this time than any time before, but for some reason this did it for me. Maybe I stopped over complicating it. Either way, thank you! I feel like I was missing the first building blocks for the rest to make sense! And now I have it" - Brian Jason testimonial

Bob Nunley- Certified CTE Instructor. Testimonial for CTE Pro One.(y)
(Regarding spin.)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Low english, high, finesse, power shots, TOI, TOO…. Just shoot it. How much low or high you use will not affect your shot using CTE Pro One.
Quick “Bob Opinion” on side, here (c’mon, Y’all knew it was coming!
😜
): many players, even high level players use way too much side spin. I consider 1/2 tip pretty extreme and frankly, if your stroke is good, you can SMOKE a cue ball with a quarter tip left or right.
 
I received my copy of Center Pocket Music on Thursday, a day ahead of expectations. BEAUTIFULLY DONE !! You and your family must be proud of such a fine production, Stan. Thank you for all your work, knowledge and willingness to share CTE and all that goes along with it- Joe Butts testimonial

CTE is foundational to the development of YOUR game.
CTE gives you an objective center cue ball reference. (That’s something that very few American players have.)
Thereafter, YOU can personalize YOUR own game for YOUR own individual style of playing.
CTE players are NOT limited to center cue ball play.
As a CTE player you can opt to favor CCB, a TOO, TOI, or a mix of the three as your overall strategy of play. - Stan S.

"In my opinion, that Disguised Pivoting is the stone cold brazillian nuts. It has become my "go to" method. Although, I still practice by cycling through Basic CTE with manual pivot, Pro One, and DP as instructed in the book.
The cycling keeps the brain sharp and focused. Mental laziness will unknowingly and quickly instill a "drift back into old outdated visualizing" to me. It's wonderful to have tools at hand which will immediately correct any sudden series of missed shots. You are right...the eyes lead and the body follows. It is definitely a visual game more than physical."
"Thank you Stan Shuffett for this marvelous discovery for pool shooting excellence. I do love it so." - Douglas D. testimonial(y)

Why is disguising the pivot the nuts??? I don't think people are actually curious about what you're doing. Is it a secret?

Is this seriously a "testimonial" from the front runner of the CTE movement, and publisher of the encyclopedia du jour...?

Anything that is posted here that is a direct quote from Stan can be disregarded as a testimonial. We are all clear about how Stan feels about the aiming system that he has given more than a decade of his life towards understanding and sharing of that method. Some readers however might find some benefit in whatever is posted that came directly from Stan.

I am trying to keep my posts restricted towards actual testimonials from those who are using CTE in daily play.

Thank you for your inquiry.
Your answer: They're curious about what Bustamante and Efren are doing. CTE Disguised Pivoting accomplishes that.
(It's not a "secret", it is published play) It is hard to recognize though. Something major league pros don't want the average duffer to know about.(y)
Hope you're doing well with your CTE studies and efforts at the table.(y)

Glad to see you posting again John Barton.
I'm assuming your eye surgery went well. Does the doc have you putting those Rx drops in your eye periodically during the day ??

Only speaking for myself I like it better when there is no need for a hard pivot after the bridge hand lands on the table. For those who use CTE like me then I can only imagine that they like the fluidity that comes with the disguised pivoting. Of course those who have no interest in CTE or those who developed their own aiming methods are probably not interested. Anyone who has a way to aim that they are satisfied with is probably not curious. They probably didn't open this thread and most likely don't frequent this forum.

There is no secret. Just people enjoying the game.

Yes, and they neglected to tell me that they provided readers so I spent four days unable to read anything that wasn't 50pt fonts. Now I have bifocals on.

DP is nothing more than an advanced CTE Method, rather the MOST advanced CTE method. The manual pivot of Basic CTE or the Visual Sweep of Pro One are replaced with a more fluid “automatic” approach to the cue ball. The word “Disguised” isn’t meant to imply it’s “secretive” or that DP users are hiding something, it’s just how we use CTE Pro One in a more “autopilot” mode. DP minimizes physical movements, but doesn’t really Disguise anything, rather it replaces more mechanical movements.

I’m sorry, as I know that is vague, but I just can’t explain it better without writing a chapter.

Regards,
Bob

I'm only 4 months Into deciding if I was gonna think outside the box and I'm reaping the benefits. I cannot aim the old way anymore. I miss. I cannot un-see the 3 lines. I was shooting my best ever when I took the plunge and shot percentages have went up. No rut.

I was watching SVB over the weekend. One thing i picked up on was how far inside the shot he stood to pick up his aim line. I practiced a little the other day standing farther inside then usual and the early result was that I was seeing the gearing effect much better. Still have to practice it more but I liked what I was seeing.

When I walk to the shot, I'm immediately looking to the AL then tweaking in on the SL, however, there are times when SL first works good for me... like when I'm jacked up over a ball or the CB is frozen to the cushion. Just easier for me to see the SL that way, in SOME cases.

Off topic but haven't seen anyone mention this.
CTE Pro one allows me to play pool as I age and my eyes get worse.
I have glasses, use them to get in position, make my move towards the ball and look over the top of the glasses. Everything is blurry but after hours and years of using pro one I know I don't really need to see perfectly once I'm down on my shot.
Hope that makes sense.
