Pro One: No more sweeps.

Great stuff Gerry, I been putting my object ball on the spot and the cue ball on the opposite like you did you your video. I think this shot will help anyone work you there sweeps.

I shot them all with C right…yes - same visual because of the distance.

If we moved rail shot one diamond closer straight up table I shoot C left.

Here is a better explanation with video - I am off work today so have some time :)

Stan told me the system will connect with all banks - I believe him.

Great !!!!

You are close except to assume that the system relies on subconscious adjustments. It instead relies on perceptions. If you take a specific CB/OB/P setup and line up the alignments, it won't be exactly the same for other setups sharing the same alignments. It's a perceptual thing, not exactly explainable in math terms (yet), but easily verified at the table.

I have heard this theory before. The theory being that CTE creates different angles from the same visuals because in reality we percieve the same visuals differently on different shots. Is that what you mean? Can you explain how the perceptions change?
 
CTE PRO ONE is VISUAL SYSTEM.

The 2 CTE visuals can make all CB OB relationships somewhere.

The VISUALS for CTE always yield a FIXED CB. The visuals of CTE place one's visual perspective just slightly off the actual shot line. The offsets are so near to the shot lines that many pros are not even aware that offsets exist during their alignments.

A consistent visual offset for all shots in CTE PRO ONE can be demonstrated with a 1/2 tip pivot based on described bridge distances. Manual pivotsbased on fixed CBs are great for testing shots but the process of manual pivoting is ultimately too unnatural for high level performance.

CTE PRO ONE is a PROFESSIONAL AIMING SYSTEM. The pros of yesteryear and today play from visual offsets and sweep visually to CCB or tip positions that are near to CCB. Professionals develop their offsets and sweeps as result of their years of play. All of this is ultimately a result of visual and physical intelligence. Almost always the pro will have NO explanation in language or math for what they are doing. Essentially, pros turn their games over to their visual and physical intelligences.

AT the core of CTE PRO ONE are visuals that describe the strongest possible visual offsets in connecting to a table. THEREFORE, anyone can begin NOW in learning the proper visual offsets that can lead to a professional approach to visually seeing shots during alignments.

In CTE PRO ONE all the offsets are equal. All shots are the same. In PRO ONE you simply sweep left or right to CCB just as the pros can be observed doing to include Efren Reyes and hundreds of others if one wanted to make a list.

In CTE PRO ONE you just SEE your visuals and begin the process of making balls from that perspective. An odd 1/2 tip weird objective manual pivot can be used or the natural visual/physical sweep that becomes absolutely repeatable in just weeks to months because any serious player will shoot hundreds, more likely, thousands of shots per week. In short order, any player can begin to approach the game in a professional manner.

CTE boils down to seeing the correct CTE OFFSET perception and then whacking it from there. A best practice in CTE is to bring the cue in from the side. Often this bringing the cue in from the side is confused as a pivot. The truth of the matter is is that in CTE PRO ONE you can find all shot lines with the cue stick ABSENT from your hands.

One last point, the visuals of CTE are objective and they can easily be seen by any player no matter their eye dominance or whatever visual profile they might bring to the table. ( I have not seen any exceptions to date!)

Well said!

I think the use of "perceptions" may lead some to believe there is tweaking or feel involved. A perception is defined as the " organization, identification, and interpretation of sensory information" whereas interpretation could lead people to believe there is subjectivity. If the visual is gained correctly, I don't believe it is a perception as much as it is often referred to, that being a fixed CB. When you look at the definition of perception, it actually makes sense as a way to describe what is going on with Pro One. However, this perception isn't a loosey, goosey thing that is all over the place and tweaked by the user IMHO.

I agree with you 100 %. I typically preface the.word perception with "objective"....but even that falls short of what I actually want to convey.

Therein lies the specialness of CTE....what to see. Yes, what to see in order to connect with the pockets can be objectively described. That was never supposed to be!!

Pool is about the visual and physical. Thus far math cannot explain the visual nature of CTE and the words of our English language often fall short of giving up the perfect wording to describe exactly what occurs in obtaining the CTE perceptions.

As mohrt said quite well...it's easily verified at a table, even if there are not words that can perfectly describe it at this this time.

What's matters, though, is that the visuals of CTE PRO ONE can be adequately explained at this time and anyone can experience CTE, the CTE that occurs on a different plane or in new dimension.

This is a very good question. This can't be shown in a 2D diagram. I'll see if I can make a meaningful graphic that conveys the concept.

I am still wondering if that #4 and I might even add the #3 goes with a right sweep C? These are being really stretched.

You think.:smile:

Just as long as the ball goes in stretch all you want.:p
 
I am not wondering - probably because I shot them as opposed to looking at it on paper though :)

There is no stretch whatsoever.

With my method, I use B.

I did try it yesterday, however, using C with a inside sweep and had no problems making it.
