You would have been better of with digarams showing the abc line as well as the CTE line.
the contact points don't mean anything in CTE,
Anyway well done.:smile:
 
None of the above. CTE is an abbreviation for center to edge, and that would simply be a line drawn from the center of the cue ball to the edge of the object ball.

And as Gerry says, none of the diagrams relate to anything in the Pro One system. If you are interested in that aiming system or any other, recommend you pick up the materials and study them and then ask questions here if clarifications are needed, we would be more than happy to help.

Unfortunately there is no way to avoid at table training. Actually, I want to say fortunately, because it is fun. :)

I believe, whatever aiming system you use, it will work as long as you practice. With a time you will memorize positions and will just know how to shoot.

Aiming system can reduce complexity due a person's perception specifics. For example, CTE users like to think they do the same thing over and over again and for some people it is natural, they see and understand what word "align" means, while others do not understand it, it is out of their perception. It is also stressed it is a visual system.

Some others think what they do is a feel system, probably because they have developed this sense very well and vision is secondary, just a guidance to get a feel.

Some use fractions of the cue ball, some use the object ball, some use the cue stick to aim.

Some stress the way they aim is aiming, some insist it is not.

Some use deflection to create angles.

Some people like to know what they are doing, others do not but still are able to do amazing things.

People are different and I want to say depending on what your preferences are and your natural abilities one system will work better than another.

What really matters is consistency, body mechanics, how it is performed, how stroke is trained, etc. Even here there I've seen few variations.

And yes, I agree with others, it is not even close to CTE Pro1. CTE Pro1 uses 2 lines:

1. Center to Edge
2. Edge to "A","B", or "C".

You can try to draw it and ask if it is correct, not sure if you receive an answer, but at least you can try.

You also can try to reverse engineer it. Just place 2 balls so they have the same point, e.g. "A" and the same sweep. Align your body position so you can pocket the ball. Try to do it again and then try to catch the visuals. What picture do you see? Shift the balls a little bit, what changed?

i can only use 1 line i dont know where to put the second line as they said that CTE has 2 lines
 
Westlife, once you get the video, these will help you understand it better. https://www.youtube.com/user/stanandlandonshuffet/videos

But, without the video, you will not understand it at all. Your lines are not right, the first quarter is A, the middle is B, and the other quarter is C. The other line goes to the edge of the ob from the center of the cb. The inside edge of the cb goes to either A,B,C. Then, you pivot half a tip. Which way you pivot depends on the shot.
 
I don't THINK I do the same thing over and over.

Geez, posting a picture 2220 pixels wide. And most of it is white space.

Oh and your A,B and C are wrong.

Sorry, I was scrolled so far over to the right because of his *%$#@ picture I hit the quote button on your post.

I've fixed my post to maintain the high standard of accuracy here at AZB.
