Good question. I am currently working for 3 days with a USA pro.
Initially, when asked about aiming this student had no real explanations of aim and was unsure of what he was really doing for many shots.
1st, I observed this player shooting in his typical manner so I could watch his physical movements to CCB.
1. Left sweeps were are already in use. ( this player did not realize he was sweeping left for many of his shots.)
Also, Right sweeps were present but fewer in number and not as defined.
Following his play, I set up shots that allowed this player to observe his physical movements whether right or left to CCB. A lot of repetition followed that created even more awareness of his left and right sweeps.
Perception/eyes were discussed and he was dialed in on how to perceive the visuals properly....
Next, over the span of a few hours, I shared the objective visuals that when followed by his sweeps would take the OB to a pocket.
We were not very far in to our work that his sighting the OB to a pocket completely stopped.
The visual/,physical aspects of CTE PRO ONE are already setting in as routine unlike anything he has experienced to this point.
Lots of questions from this student. Why...How...What about....
I answeredvthe questions in variety of ways, often with a demo of some sort.
So, now we are into day 2 and this student is already using the system in competition on my 10 feet and is doing quite well.
All concerns will be address after his competition is completed.
Following will be a review and he will see exactly and precisely how CTE PRO ONE is geometrically correct and that the system takes him to the shot line.
Tonight.....BANKING and SPIN.
All aspects of CTE PRO ONE will have been presented.
Tomorrow, more competition and a total review.

What has been the difficult part of the system for him to relate too and what has been the easiest part of the system that he was able to relate too? It should be very interesting how he takes to the geometry of the system, I wish I was there to hear his opinion and see his reaction to it.
I am pretty sure his method of aim is shooting angles and aligning to them and is very advanced at it. This is why he will pick up pro1 quickly, is my opinion. I also believe when the "feel" shooters finally let it sink in that they are just shooting angles and not points.etc they will start relating to systems

Shooting angles has zero to do with CTE PRO ONE. There is only ONE shot. That is all there is. Everything is based on CCB.
Two physical movements to CCB with each being equal.

Stan - I think what og pro is saying is that the pro you are currently working with knows the proper angles for pocketing balls and therefore might be dialed in on CTE lines without realizing it.
Therefore when the pro becomes aware of the CTE lines he will catch onto the system quickly. Sort of like the pro you mentioned in DVD 1 who lined up for a shot in his normal fashion and you then instructed him to look at the CTE lines. He was in position but not aware of the CTE lines.

this is correct, thanks bigshooter :smile:
Yes, there was some overlap visually and physically but not a lot with this player.
The CTE concept was entirely new and eye-opening for him.
He is picking it up very quickly now on day 2. He is playing on the 10 ft. with Landon at the moment.... That's super for day 2.
This player would say that what he has seen thus far is beyond the scope of anything he has ever heard of or used during his play.
And I am confident he will share his experience with interested others.

This "pro player" business sounds like a lot of BS. 
And for anyone that doesn't follow Facebook.........the above sentence is a JOKE (I've seen who Stan is working with).

What is BS about it?
Well........it's the initials of the pro player. I said it was a joke, Stan. Lol.
You're all good.

Finally!
Stan wasn't sayin' who it was, so I didn't wanna say who it was. But, I saw pics plastered all over Facebook, so I thought I'd make a little joke about it.
I think you misunderstood me, Stan, so I apologize if you did. My BCA Instructor uses Pro 1 religiously and I even have the 1st CTE video of yours. I've just not been able to get the table time to wrap my head around it.
I believe that it works, I'm just a TOI guy. Been working with that for 4 months now and loving it.
No problem. LOL, I did misread it, though. The reason I did not mention a name is because I indicated to Brandon that I would not..
Stevie took the picture and posted it on FB. That was fine as Brandon did not mind. There is no doubt that Brandon has experienced CTE at a high level and hopefully he will share his thoughts.
We had a great 3 days and it's all winding down....

It'll be interesting to see how Shuff fares in upcoming tourneys, once the method fully burns in and becomes natural under high stress conditions.

What a great thread! Everything you've always suspected about aiming systems, but were afraid to ask - and all in one place! 
Have you found that if the system is not learned from you personally or from your teaching materials, it becomes like a game of telephone? A lot of people who think they understand it sound like they have loads of misinformation. For example, someone actually gets your course, then begins somewhat telling his friends about it, even trying to teach it and in no time they are all confused as the information becomes so muddied. Till ultimately, someone says, "This thing is a joke I can't make it work at all'.
Also, any date on the new DVD yet?
No, CTE PRO ONE is not a study and practice scenario that culminates in a telephone game.
Many get CTE PRO ONE independently of any outside instruction.
The problem is that REAL CTE is different, very different at first. Many want to learn this in just a few days or a couple of weeks.
CTE PRO ONE is a professional shooting system that is perfect for beginners and pros alike.
CTE begins with specific, objective perceptions that represent a first step in connecting to pockets. These perceptions can be learned very quickly by anyone.
Following the perceptions are the 2 visual/physical sweeps to CCB.
The above is what CTE is all about. The nature of CTE is that it gives all users an objective shot line. Now, everyone's visual and physical intelligence varies just as our language, math, and music smartness varies. So, depending on a student's readiness, visually and physically, determines the learning curve for developing a proficiency with accessing that objective shot line.
It is the nature of CTE to give up the shot line just as though every shot is straight-in but CTE stops there. It is one's ability as a player that determines how well they will align and how straight they can stroke.
The shot line is also used as an objective reference for slight amounts of inside and outside spin. The beginner will focus on the first principles of CTE while the pro can expand his game based on the gift that CTE provides, the shot line.
Anyone that makes a sincere study of CTE with DVD2 can enter into a realm of aiming that is professional and of a different plane.
I am staking my reputation that what I present is what I say it is. Is everyone going pick it up at the same rate? NO, but I believe most everyone can learn REAL CTE.
What I teach concerning CTE is all about awakening your visual and physical intelligence to a specific set of objective instructions that were never supposed to be. There is only ONE shot and no one is barred from connecting with this new dimension in aiming. It is quite simple: SEE AND SHOOT. You only need to know what to see and how to move to CCB. Again, CTE won't shoot the shot for you.
DVD2 will be out this spring/summer. It is winding down but I depend on others for scheduling. I have been at this for a year now. I am proud of the material that will be presented.
I am doing all that I can humanly do to present CTE in the best possible manner so that everyone can get it without dancing on the phone. But if that is what it takes, I offer my support whether by email or by phone or by support videos on YouTube.
Then there are others that support me. Phil Burford in Europe. Stevie Moore here in the good ol' USA. Brandon Shuff has connected with CTE and is getting all his ducks in a row. Brandon was simply amazed and that is putting it mildly. Brandon came with an open mind and left with something he never dreamed of finding in this game.
