Your reading comprehension needs a pivot system also. I said "disguised pivots"...not "invisible pivots"
But. go ahead.....giggle, snicker, and ridicule to your heart's content.
Your awakening will happen on a pool table, in public, one of these days..........and you'll never know what happened to you in the match. Other than you lost your money.
Until your opponent decides to tell you, much later.
By the way, where do you play and will you play strangers?

And you still can't prove Efren pivots to aim.

In your video link go to 36:01 and tell me he doesn't pivot to center on his last stroke
His answer when asked he practice strokes on the left side of the cue ball ( which another player at Hard Times name Chico does also ), was it's a habit he developed .
Draw your own conclusion.
It has nothing to do with pivoting. He's looking at the cue ball in relation to the ob and he sees it better with the tip away from the cue ball.
Why does he practice stroke very low on the cue ball then hit the cue ball high when he has to ON THE last stroke?

He tells you how he aims right there.

Tells you what he looks at .https://youtu.be/6Y2qoCtdiak?t=2757

Does he need to pivot, probably not. But he does for whatever reason.
I've seen him pivot, or line up low left. and hit center on a lag before. Why?

Already explained it bud.
Bad habit he developed growing up but made up for by extremely sick talent .
Why did Cicero Murphy do it as well? Hell, he did it breaking on straight pool.

The man was barely a teenager when he walked in pool halls wearing shorts and a smoke in his mouth calling anyone out there. Hence, the nickname Django .
Cocked-in elbow like Efren b/c they could barely reach the table .
B/c of the cocked-in elbow, they developed the loosey-goosey grip as well .

If the TAR match with SVB is still available , watch it.
Busti missed an easy 10 after stroking on the left side and shooting to the center .
He quit doing it after that and won 2 nights of 3 for the cash.

He missed it because he was jumping up and had been doing that on critical balls all through the match.
When he stayed down and did his pivoting to center ball, the balls split the pocket.
Never saw him jumping up like that...looked like the way I shoot. (I choke a lot under pressure)

He jumped because he saw he mishit the cue ball. And I remember him quitting that stroking to the left side of the cue ball after that .

You think all that pivoting is a good PSR?

Maybe you should watch Allison Fisher instead. Hell, we should all watch her instead . Then again, most of the very good Euro pros do that snooker PSR.
Down to which side of the pec they consistently keep their cue alignment.
