CTE-Parallel Shots

This is a video I did to show that the motions using CTE are nearly identical shot for shot. Many of the opponents of CTE have put up diagrams of these shots and claimed that it's impossible to do the SAME motions on different shots and make the balls. The reality is that from the shooter's perspective every shot done here looks exactly the same. I use the CTE line as the starting point, put my bridge hand down with the tip pointing to the left side of the cue ball and pivot to center cue ball and shoot. Every shot done the same way.

This is one of the strongest advantages to using the CTE method of aiming. Even if there are some "adjustments" from shot to shot they are so small as to not be noticeable by the shooter. This gives the shooter a tremendous sense of confidence on each shot with the feeling that he is lined up perfectly and then can focus on the stroke. For a CTE user none of these shots is any tougher than any of the others.

If you are not a CTE user try these shots and see how you do.

John, are you doing the half tip pivot or half ball pivot?

@runarak

The half ball pivot. When my bridge hand comes down the cue tip is pointing at the left edge of the cue ball. Then I shift my weight slightly so that the cue tip is then pointing at the center of the cueball and shoot.

Hey Dave....fantastic......I watched all your videos....I am slow and need your help....let me reference last year on video "CTE-finding-the-aiming line.flv " you were saying there if shooting to the left....align the center cue-ball to right edge of object ball, bring cue parallel to the left side of cue ball and then pivot to center and fire...did u leave out step one on these shots and just align left side of cue to middle of object ball....pivot..then fire?

thanks a lot man...
