Let me add, I said "essentially". CTE plus A or C does not provide a perfect 1/4 ball hit. Check out chapter 10 of the DVD that contrasts CTE to the 1/4 system.
CTE: Visuals determine the shot solution
- Thread starter mohrt
- Start date
You see Gaps?Do yourself a favor and do your pro1 but change the a,b,c to the gaps.It still creates an angle.(The missing link to the puzzle.)
Like I said before this is just my opinion but the fact is as you can see there are gaps and your staring at them.:smile:
Knowing this can only help,having the gaps doesn't make the system any worse but taking into consideration that your really close helps a lot.

Can you (or anyone) provide a shot that can't be made using A, B, or C or a 1/8 overlap?
We should be thankful there is margin of error,also that we have the ability to add our judgment to the shot because if we had to be exact more problems would arise.
Anthony
Anthony, you say you have done your home work. Lets see how good of a student you are
I have posted a 0 degree straight shot and a 1 degree shot below. Explain to me "everything" that has changed when I go from a O degree shot to a 1 degree shot.
Like I said we have margin of error.
Absolutely nothing changes.:wink: but the weather did change a little.
That's not an answer to the question that was asked.
The further the OB is from the pocket, the more exact you need to be. There are plenty of shots that if you're even a hair off exact, you'll miss.
In fact, I'd bet there are more shots where you need to be exact than there are gaps in Pro One
My post with the picture has killed any reasonable/educated response available, its over
Maybe you should educate yourself with facts my friend and not guess work.Instead of being reasonable about things ,you guys have away of pushing people the wrong way so that nothing ever comes out of it.
What is with you guy's???I got it, its who present's it that makes a difference.
No gaps ,,
I showed them to you and you still cant get it.Im a systems guy but just not like some of you.:wink:
Good luck.

On a two dimensional diagram, CTE is riddled with gaps. In a true 3D environment (real life), there are no gaps.
One must realize that perspective illusions are used within CTE. If the table were 300 yards long, the opposite end rail would appear to converge at a point. Clearly, that doesn't happen on a 9' table, but the perspective illusion is still there (the rail you stand at appears larger than the opposite rail).
Where your logic says "gap" based on your linear logic, your eye position changes where they move one quadrant over while sighting your visual lines from a parallax angle and sliding into the face of the CB with an angled cue.
CTE/CTEPro1 have no gaps. Whether one sights an outermost OB edge, sights the CB's edge to a different target or moves their eyes slightly to sight a more parallax view, the OB goes center hole.
CTE / CTE-Pro1 are not fractional systems based on fractional overlaps, period. The visuals are based (and rely on) converging perspective illusions.

Huh! Thanks Dave.
When I read this, I turned around and looked at one end of my table compared to the other end of the table, and sure enough the rail closest to me looks a lot wider than the rail 9' away.
I saw this on an eyesight post once but never put 2 and 2 together. Now all I have to do is make the illusion work for me.
Thanks again.

I have a house full of women having some purse party. When I get through this, I'll explain more. This is brutal.

I hope you're not involved in the demonstration of how a purse can be used as a self defense weapon.:wink:
Thanks.
I'm 66 and the wife is 65, the only kind of parties we have here have to do with avon or tupperwear and they are not you or your wife's age. :frown:

This all pretty easy to understand for me, all I think it takes is common sense to figure out alignment basics

Have a good day.

No.
But I have been playing for over 50 years and really enjoy the game and always open to ideas for better play.
Thanks for asking.
Great CTE video by the way Gerry.

Interesting read for sure.
