It would appear your concept of the visual is correct.

Heres one with a little extra offset to the CTE right, and Edge to A, B and C.
Might have to start using PNG images, JPGs are blurring a bit heh.
Wow...nice pics.
I would expect/think that the body/stance should move with the visuals from the edge of the CB moving to the right fractions.
Some/other systems tell you to get one foot on the shot line before you drop down to the table...do you move your feet or just your body or just your eye/s?
I would have expected that the white line would have moved for each fraction that are no longer on the CTE line.
Can you diagram what cut angles are achieved with each fractional movement to the right on the OB and to the left for the eye/s?
Thanks again for your pics.:thumbup:
I'm finally convince that Pro1/CTE work. I realize what I been doing wrong the whole time thanks to LAMas.........I was stepping way back further looking behind Center to Edge....so basically I had to walk like 3 steps to get into stance which usually a no no. I try this.....I was a step back looking at center to edge then step in into stance and I made the ball. I did it again made a ball. I realize that my whole deal not working was because of my FOOT WORK, I feel relief and apologize to Stan Shuffett for having doubt about his aiming system. Thanks you.
Currently, for left cuts, I have my back right foot on the CTE line and I dont move my body until I move in to shoot.
My process for shooting (and this is still experimental until I can get the system down) is:
Pick my shot. Ok, cut to the left. Get the center-to-right-edge line, back right foot goes on that line, body is offset to the left of that line, and the visual for the CTE line is coming straight at me. Then I pick if I am using A, B or C...
Here's a visual difference between the body offsets.
Standing on a center CB to center OB with the CTE line visual, no body offset:
Now standing with body offset to the left of the CTE, back right foot on the CTE line, with the CTE line visually coming straight at me, as opposed to at an angle like in the previous picture.
I have not yet broken down my footwork and the "sweeps" but it appears that all my sweeps are the same, as in I always do a right sweep (i think), and I believe that is why I am not making all the shots.
When you guys say "inside sweep" and "outside sweep", can you clarify that for me a little bit more?
Also.. being right handed and right eye dominant, left cuts come more natural to me using this system. When doing a right cut, it feels strange and off to have my body offset to the right of the CTE line. This is partially why I have been standing with my back foot on the CTE line

Do you have Stan's first DVD? There are left and right sweeps dependent upon the shot and visual.
Yes I do have DVD-1. I know some shots, even though the visual is the same (eg: CTE with ETA) will use either a left or right sweep depending on where you want it to go.
My problem is that I can't tell the difference between doing a left or right sweep/pivot/whatever. So for me its the same motion each time, and I ~think~ its what Stan would call a right sweep.

Start wih these 2 shots!
1.) Cue ball @ 28 Object ball @ 38 This is a right cut with a right visual sweep/pivot
2.) Cue ball @ 10 Object ball @ 5 This is a left cut with a left visual sweep/pivot
These 2 shots mirror each other! Shoot them over and over and over again!!
