Struggling to understand the visual sweeps in CTE pro one

At the risk of oversimplification--ahem--when I hear visual sweep, I still think "Move your head so that you see the cut angle well and the pocket looks large."

Think about it and try it--start your stance with your vision center over the shot line, place the bridge hand down on the table--heck you can set the stroke hand down also--but move your head laterally until you feel locked in to the optimal place to shoot/aim toward.

I dont understand what you are trying to convey, there are many shots where you cannot make the pocket look large when on the shot line.

I took a CTE/Pro1 lesson with Tyler Styer about 3-4 years ago, he taught me a lot but I never got to the point where I practiced so much that I actually put the system to use. We skipped over the 1/2 tip pivot of CTE and went straight to work on the visuals and movements for Pro1, about 6 weeks ago I started using Pro1 on almost every cut shot and now that I have stuck with it a become familiar with it it works tremendously for me. Even those shots where the cue ball and object ball are on the far right side of the table and you have shoot the long way to the opposite corner (or vice versa) are going in consistently. I am sometimes amazed that I made some of the shots but I have noticed that it can still be day to day. There are some days it seems like I cant miss and others where I struggle to make a ball but the more familiar I get with the system the less off days I am having. The few shots I need to learn well yet are very thin cuts and shots where the object and cue ball are very close together which I believe require different visuals.

Glad it works for you. Sincerely, I'm all for systems that WORK for you.

I'm saying the average player would benefit by moving their head, even over a significant distance, until the shot looks as optimal as can be sighted for their sighting capability, because just as you wrote, "there are many shots where you cannot make the pocket look large [when your eyes are] on the shot line". So move your head [eyes].
