Pro1 bridge hand placement

The sweep or pivot can be in any direction regardless of the cut direction. More times than not it is the same as the cut direction but sometimes it isn't obvious. This will come from experience and practice.

Sometimes it may not look right and I will try the other sweep to see if that gets me there.

Ok, I'm gonna try and answer some questions.

You're looking at both lines/visuals as a road/tunnel that goes from CB to the OB with both of your eyes, looking down the middle of that road/tunnel, like you are standing on the middle of a road.

Now, obviously, if road/tunnel is made of CTEL+A/C it is not the same road/tunnel as the one made of CTEL+B visuals.

Now for sweeps/pivots. For straight ins/thick shots use outside-to-inside pivot/sweep (for a cut to the right use a manual left-to-right 1/2 tip pivot, or a left visual sweep), and for almost all the rest of the shots use inside-to-outside pivot/sweep (for a cut to the right use a manual right-to-left 1/2 tip pivot, or a right visual sweep).

Practice reference shots given on the DVD.

Hope I didn't wrote anything wrong and that it will help.

Stan's DVD was a revolution as far as CTE is concerned, and I feel that there is no one better to lead us into instruction with CTE than Stan.
I do understand the comments regarding those unable to fully understand or unable to do what is on the DVD. Even Stan admitted that his beginnings were very tough.
It's not that easy doing an instructional DVD. I feel that DVD2 will answer a lot of questions for everyone now that the dust has settled.
Until DVD2 if I'm still struggling I may have to fly to the US for a 2 day lesson.
Peace.
 
Thanks for the sweep info. I appreciate everyone's input and did not see anything that I could not agree with.

A couple of comments:

The visuals do not represent a shot line. NEVER.

There are 360 ticks on a CB as well as an OB. There are a zillion shots possibilities on a table. CTE PRO ONE can allow you to align the 2 ticks of a CB OB that always take you to a slight over cut for any shot.

During my 105 ball run I did not name a single shot line in my mind nor did I need to. I was not concerned with what an aim line looks like. CTE has allowed me to move away from that search for aim lines.

The visuals ALWAYS put you at the same offset from any of the zillion shots. The 2 sweeps are natural movements to CCB that you can see pros using in any match. Those moves connect the ticks.

I do not know your level of play for most cases but I do know that I can leap you forward into seeing CB OB relations correctly and guide you into learning 2 critical physical moves that are repeatable for the zillion shots. This can be learned in as little as a few days for some and weeks for others.

It just so happens that the visuals and the sweeps when combined can start you on a self-refining journey of connecting the dots or the ticks on CB OB relationships for all shot lines. All that is required is that you learn a few objective things to see and 2 natural movements to CCB.

Everyone will progress at their own level. But I will assure you of this if you use CTE PRO ONE you will be approaching shots in a professional manner.
Once your eyes and body learn the system you will never look back. All shots will be the same.

This Sunday afternoon I will do a short YouTube video concerning left and right visual sweeps.

I am in a lesson today and heavy editing work through the remainder of this week.

Stan, if you find time to do that video, of the sweeps, it would be awesome!

Thank you for everything! :)

What do you think about these guys practicing there sweeps using the ctel like you did in the video. The part where you have drawn the line across the table. I think this may help them get the feel of the sweeps and moving to center cue ball? This can even be done on a kitchen table for those guys that do not own a pool table?

What video was this? Anyone have a link?
 
Progress?

I'm mimicking the shots in the Manuel and shooting about 80%. Don't ask me how.I'm getting a feel for it but still miss relatively easy shots. I figured out its your body that places you on the ball in stead of your eyes placing your body the ghost ball alley. I'm having no problem getting my visuals then pushing into the shot doing An automatic shift. Not sure how to explain it but I'm making balls with out even looking at the pocket. No need to find the line through the ob to the center of the pocket.
 
Initially I was utterly confused and set the whole concept aside. I avoided all threads concerning the system. I wanted to try it some more but I have always lined up the center of my body with the OB and kept my eyes on the OB as I got down on the shot. Recently I started looking at the CTEL and then the edge to AB or C before lowering myself down into the shot and then finding CCB. Usually the adjustment to CCB is very minimal. I have been comfortable and generally accurate. I am definitely looking forward to the 2nd DVD. I know I don't know the different bridge lengths and don't really understand their importance but find myself paying more attention to the system and have a desire to learn much more. I live in So. Calif and have been unable to find anyone who knows the system and is willing to share their knowledge--even at a price. I have not had an epiphany and immersing myself to much makes my head swim but thanks to all of you who are willing share--even though I do find a lot of contradictions in some of the info.
