sounds complicated and confusing, whats wrong with using the fractional ball system and then letting your eyes make the fine tuned adjustment and then pulling the trigger, there is no magical aimimg system, its just practice shots till your brain knows what to do....
I haven't gone back to read what all is in this thread, but 90/90 is a very easy system to learn. I have taught it to people in 10 minutes.
Dave, in your article, you mention that if you pivot at the hand, you need to make small adjustments on many shots. I agree. However, that is not how one is supposed to pivot in 90/90. Once your bridge hand is placed, you keep your feet and bridge hand where they are, then you pivot your entire body at the hips until you attain center ball on the cb. The way you pivot makes a huge difference in no adjustments to having to make adjustments. It does because it gives you a different center cb.
I agree that it is all in how you pivot. Maybe the hip/body motion helps shift/rotate/tilt/deform the bridge hand just the right amount. If the bridge-hand pivot point were truly fixed, like in a BHE-type pivot, you would get only one cut angle for a given initial alignment and bridge length.
I think the trick is to "pivot" just right (and/or vary the bridge length) to achieve the amount of cut you need on each individual shot. Some people can apparently do this very well.

What is the point of this post?
Regardless of how pivot-based aiming systems like 90/90 or CTE actually "work," they do provide many potential benefits to some people. I think the primary benefit is they force a player to have a deliberate and focused pre-shot routine. That's always a good thing.

Not speaking for Cleary, but as I recall, at one point he was one of the few people online willing to try and help people learn that system, including a video and a series if pfds.
Not all that long ago, he was asked to stop representing that system here, or something like that. I'm not recalling the exact circumstances, but I believe it frustrated him quite a bit, after being such a strong proponent for a long time.
That's how I recall it, anyway. I'm not gonna go searching this or any other thread for the specifics, but i think I'm close. (Apologies, orange one, if any of this is wrong.)
This is about right. 90/90 works really well. It's fairly easy to learn. I don't think it's as precise as ProOne but then it's also easier to learn.
That's too bad. I love using CTE as it has definitely helped my shot making, and have always wondered about 90/90. Being a fan of these systems, I am surprised I missed this thread originally. Unfortunately I missed the original video and PDF's, and have never seen the system explained. Too bad forum stupidity will cause others to miss out on this knowledge.
