Not so sure about the purpose of this. Is this an aiming method or is this a method of aiming while applying english? What does CTE stand for? Is this any relation to backhand english?

@aardvaark069 CTE is "center to edge". It's a pivot aiming method. This video doesn't cover the details of CTE (I guess I assumed whoever searched for CTE already had the basic foundation of what to do). This video covers how to pivot with that method. Dave

after watching this vid i practiced for 4 hours on this technic and i finally got... this is the best aiming system i ever used. it almost feels like cheating. thanks for the post

@erinluvsdk13 Glad you got it. Most people are too lazy to practice for a few hours to really understand this video. Think of it this way: because you practiced for 4 hours, your pool life will never be the same again.

Excuse me, but I completely fail to see the point: pivoting appears to be no more than pretty weird way of making it more difficult to take one's stance, which you admittedly end with a nice, firm, straight stroke that would have ensured you make the shot had you taken your stance any other (including any simpler and more obvious!) kind of way...

[unvmygame]

@LeonFleisherFan The movement is almost invisible, you arc while locking in the stance. This is something that might seem mechanical at first, but over time it evolves into feel. However, this "feel" is based on definitive points of reference - resulting in the shot solution. Some people "see ball make ball" and some can't. For those who struggle, this system is a solid solid solid foundation to "getting there." Those who can think this is a waste - those who struggle, it changes their life

so should your bridge hand be placed at the edge of the cue ball?

[blue92830]

what is CTE, center of cueball to edge of object ball OR center of object ball to edge of cubeball. It seems to me that he does the same shot exactly the same, just don't get how the second time the ball goes in when yet, he pivots the cue both times? What does he line up first ? Then, he pivots but does he also shift his bridge more towards the inside as well? Anyone Some people say Edge of cueball to center of OB, but other professionals say Edge of OB to CB? Which one is this guy dude doing?

This is an awesome system. I picked it up recently and I recommend it to intermediate/beginner players. It really works for me because the edge and center of the cue ball can always be seen versus the ghost ball. I mean you can stand behind the shot and imagine how you should overlap the cue ball and object ball but there's no saying if you'll send that cue ball directly into that ghost ball. Your stroke might not match what your eyes tell you!

[aardvaark069]

@unvmygame Ah. Thanks. I'll check it out. I don't know enough yet to ask informed questions.
