The CTE methods I referred to and briefly described are those taught by Hal Houle and Stan Shuffett. From Mike Gulyassy's responses to my questions in this thread, I do not believe that Mike's personal aiming method is one of those.

But for your information, here is a link to Dr. Dave's compilation of material on CTE aiming methods: http://billiards.colostate.edu/threads/aiming.html#CTE.

Stan Shuffett released a DVD earlier this year teaching manual CTE (with on-the-table pivoting) and the more refined Pro One method. Here is Stan's site: http://www.justcueit.com/

This forum has had innumerable threads over the past few years discussing CTE aiming methods.

I looked over Dr. Dave's stuff and what I have learned over 43 years of playing seems different. May be it is the same and may be it is doing the same concept, I don't know. My CTE is very simple and uses only a few basic principles for almost all shots. The pivoting is something I could not do. I aim to hit the cue ball where I am going to strike it. A lot of shots take more or less English and this is determined by 1, 2, or 3 tips off center. My follow through is also a drive for cue ball distance, especially 2 inches to 4 feet. I do not know what Mr. Shuffett teaches but I believe it is something that he believes works for his and others game. I also believe that everyone does the same thing but differently. It is like Allen Hopkins and Earl Strickland's form and stroke. Allen is a World Champion and so is Earl, look at each game and they are night and day difference. It is how our minds control our arms and muscles to make a small ball travel 7 to 8 feet with enough spin to hit a part of a another ball on the edge about the thickness of a piece of paper and twist the ball over about 4 more feet to disappear into a hole and call it pool.
