This is helpful. I was shown CTE for the 1st time 2 months ago. Played competitively for.... long time. lol It immediately simplified things & all I saw were straight lines. Everything was straight, even banks. Freed up 90% of my focus for shape & I started getting out. Then, somehow, I lost the sight of seeing the straight line!!! Grrrr K. I know you care & are hanging on my words. I kinda got it back but was using straight line inside edges to pocket &!melting common sense. What you’re showing I think is going to free me up for shape. Thanks! I quit 07-17 cuz military stuff & all my Az buds were pro or high 600’s all of a sudden. I know they don’t give two thoughts over potting. Thank God for people who share knowledge

The critics in this thread are way off and ignorant. This together with split the difference (little Mike) and Berger’s CTE are added checkpoints for aiming which makes shots consistent! I have started winning all my matches using a combination of split the difference and Segal’s thick and thin. These systems have helped to keep me calm and confident on pressure shots.

That was a simple explanation for us newbies. Well done man. Now you should post a simple explanation to shooting bank shots. I've seen so many different versions and still confused by them all. So please post one for us amateurs. Thanks and keep up the great work!

Good teaching is when the student grasps the idea. Excellent job!

i taught this very easy method to my smart ass buddys girl friend. she practiced secretly for two days . now she beats his smart ass every game! its simple easy to learn and it works. those people who say it dosen,t work probably never even give it a serious try.

If you’re having to take hard shots very often then you’re not leaving your cueball correctly.. you should be making every shot on the table as easy as possible.. jump shots, long shots and masse shots can all look fancy and take lots of practice and skill but they’re all actually very low % shots.. missing one could lead you to lose the game.. You should always try to keep the game simple especially if you’re playing on a league or for money.. assume that if you miss the opponent WILL make every ball.. if you’re left with one of these hard shots it’s almost always more beneficial to make a safety play

on the thin shot are you aware you cannot make the shot and so add the "one tip" right of center to correct or compensate for the pocket line ?

is it working for longer distances ( more than 3 diamonds away)

Will it still work if the distance between cue ball and object ball is greater?

as someone who started playing at a young age just messing around. to where I'm at now with my game. this is decent advice for beginners with close cuts. definitely not something for intermediate players. shifting your arm/hand position after lining up is terrible if your goal is to become better. the best way to get better at cuts it just learning the physics and mathematics of the game (either practicing different things, or actually studying). I personally have made negative cut shots thanks to the proper aiming and English/English transfer.

Doesnt that put unwanted spin on the ball?

@lukeschwartz9257

4 жыл бұрын

Yes it does

Yeah this is dumb. Changing the 'angle of attack' on the final stroke is terrible technique. Consistency matters in cue sports and for that you need solid fundamentals. A good stance, a good bridge, and a clean flowing cue action. Learning the angles is how you get good at pool, and you should be able to pot everything plain ball. Side or 'English' comes later for more advanced shots and positional play.

@johnqa

Also, center to edge is just for 30 degree angles, and moving the tip over is for roughly one other angle, say 45 degrees, so it leaves out all the other angles, plus these are all close to the pocket so variations dont matter as much.

Heyyy lookkk dont useee any aiming systemsss or whatsoever I play snooker which is harderr😂 What you need to do is find the point where if you would hit the object ball it would go straight to the pocket and just hit that point with no adjusments andd see the magiccc Anyyyy kindd of balllll trust mee

Hit center until you totally understand Deflection, throw , and swerve Then maybe experiment with this system

Those shorts on short range are simple you can easly made it with less effort please do for long range short that's challenging for me i always miss long range shorts

Yeah i do this naturally on some shots without thinking but without the pivot I know the right line to begin with. tho everyone decent knows this..i mean depends on what position you need as to the shot you need and where to hit on the white but this can help a new player I suppose. I think people will knock you for explaining it using simple shots without realising you are just simply demonstrating the theory lol which i think is a good idea personally. Coaches like to over complicate things this simplifys it for many and so at least i understand. I would only critique you for not saying in the end of the video that players should naturally see and get down on the right line of aim the shot without the need to pivot like they do for the half ball hit.

I'd like to see you do a video with these aiming systems where the object ball is further away from the pocket. I can't seem to get this working with long shots. This is by enlarge my 1 and only quarrel with any CTE aiming system. What say you?

I see your struggles with many people I teach. Without personally seeing you hit balls, I can only make an assumption based on what I've seen with others. I would say your issue lies in your aim perception. Meaning, what you perceive as aimed center CB to object ball is offline. What I recommend you do is practice hitting balls with someone standing behind the OB. Once you are down on the ball, ask them, "Am I aimed at the edge of the object ball or am I inside/outside of that line?

@marcsegal6497

7 жыл бұрын

delirio you couldn't be more wrong and obviously don't understand what's being taught. For long shots I recommend you begin with the "Thick" shot. I am teaching the same method used by Efren Reyes. When Efren uses this system, he pivots right and left of center using a backhand pivot (same as backhand English). You NEVER pivot using your bridge hand which will cause cue ball deflection. In fact, if you are attempting to pivot in that manner, it explains why you are incapable of using these systems! If you want to pivot using the bridge hand, I recommend you learn CJ Wiley's "Touch of Inside" aiming system which is a great system. Problems arise when you incorrectly use the wrong pivot for system, like you are doing.

Hi! I've been playing pool for 5 months.I tried this sistem 2 days ago and it worked! Iimproved my game pocketing balls. The ghost ball sistem doesn't work for me. Thank you. regards from Barcelona, Spain.

Shot length needs to be factored in, but that requires experimentation on your part. When the cue ball and object ball are on opposite sides of the table always default to the "thick" shot first. If that comes up short, then try the "thin" hit. Anyone who claims they can spoon feed you the "magic bullet aiming system for every shot" is total BS! Everyone is different. Everyone bridges and sights differently. The purpose of any aiming system is to get to the point where you make balls automatically without using it!

Total bullshit. This may help if you only play on bar boxes with huge pockets or for shots only a diamond away from the pocket, but these methods quickly fall apart for longer shots on a 9-foot table or a snooker table with tight pockets. You're also teaching new players to shoot thick shots with backhand english, thus throwing the object ball into the pocket instead of pocketing it directly. Backhand english is a useful technique used by advanced players to reduce squirt, but it's terrible advice to hand to a new player. They should be learning to shoot the vast majority of their shots cuing center ball (center vertical axis). There are more effective ways of teaching new players how to aim, please don't teach them bad habits that they'll only have to unlearn years down the road.

In fact, you'll notice Efren Reyes using this system, and I don't believe he's ever used a LD shaft.

Pros uses pivot only for english and not as aiming system. Years of experience will tell them where to aim correctly. If you want to learn aiming and english the BHE & FHE system is the best.

It looks to me like you’re applying right English. And that’s fine maybe with that simple shot. But if your having to send the cue ball back down table and apply more speed or power, you’re gonna have some “squirt” to the left and that object ball isn’t going to pocket.

We as the player have too practice and make the adjustments your not just gunna go pro by watching one aiming systems. He also said the point of all aiming systems is so eventually you dont have too use an aiming system and can make each shot by muscle memory basically. So you are both correct. Other then all that if your a beginner its still a very good tool too try. If it dont work for you then dont use it that simple.

You'll notice for slight cuts he aims straight at the object ball and then pivots away from the pocket 1/2 tip on his last stroke. For steeper cuts he pivots using the CTE system, cueing to one side of the cue ball (parallel to the center line) and then pivots to cue ball center on the last stroke. What I'm teaching in this video is a more simplified version of CTE for beginner/intermediate players to get them started using a pivoting system. I suggest you look up Stan Shuffets videos to get the detailed info on the CTE system used by Efren and other pros.

Those pockets are bigger than the pockets in the uk.

This is stupid, you're cueing across the ball and relying on side to pot the ball. Too many variables there, if that ball is 2 feet further away from the cue ball, you miss. The shot you make is stupidly easy too, if you can't make that you need new eyes. Stand behind the shot, you can see the shot, step in, drop down straight and push the cue through the centre of the ball, done. If you miss you did one of those things wrong.

Correct Bob - the ONLY shot where you aim at the edge of the object ball is a 30 degree half ball angle... otherwise you miss (unless you are playing on huge pockets with the object ball next to it). Playing english simply sends the cue ball on a curve which makes things even more difficult when the ball is not over the pocket as in the video. Further, even if the elglish pivot system did work, the distance to the ball and the speed of the shot would change the amount of english needed on every shot - so you may as well reduce the variable, remove english, and simply change the aim on every shot and learn through trial and error over time

Well we all do half ball hit and helping side well a lot do and I many use all three shots actuallly. You got to dig in at distance and strike it pure -- be more careful but helps to memorise certain shots and potting angles when in the balls (not so much at distance) - every player who is decent uses all three shots but not one player pivots ...cept maybe trump who pivots to centre ?? but I think most do thes shots without the pivot (thy autmatically just know the line they need and all use bits of side and mixture of side for position. This kind of thing places it in memory for a beginner and far better if you just can just see the shots better and play without thinking this is a good way of explaining the concept. Anything that helps cooit potting angles to instictive memory is good right?

Cause with the side spin you start off center to edge again, it's easier to remember than telling the novice: instead of aiming center to edge and just scoot over just like before you have to aim to fit the cut you have to do... and to aim to the cut he has to do he needs feel, but the novice doesn't have a great feel for all those shots yet so yeah, this method helps that, and plus it gets him used to using side spin early on. Anyways, I think it's a great method for learning. Simple and accurate.

This method is not bad But in the pocket billiard u can find so many methods better than this system

The cross your fingers and hope spin throws the ball in method 😂 This is far from an explanation of a pivot aiming system. You almost missed 2 of these shots bouncing off the nipples. Just bad info.

His technique is very good but not complete. explore this method and every shots are very easy to make,

Sana May bisaya din 😢😢

Lol this guy teach amateurs to use side and says this is for beginners hahaha

All aiming systems work if you are half a diamond from the pocket XD

he was just demo the theory of it in a simple way for ppl to get it keeping all balls in view with his cue ... sometimes ppl crtique without realising that ...just because he aint shooting tough shots dont mean it wont work on them too (along with learning good fundementals.) This actually frees your mind to play rather than messing with your head try it ...then come back. if you also learn to pot plain ball too and using side start messing doing this also you begin to see the angle of these all over the table too.. its useful to know this and if you dont already you int playing enough

I think aiming systems need to take into account more than 3 possible angles, even for the most basic players. Ghost ball would be a better aiming system to introduce a beginner player to IMO.

This is no technique, it's just potting with side. Maybe I don't want any side spin on the cue ball. I also play snooker and I was always taught to make sure the cue is perfectly straight throughout the shot, moving your cue at the last second as you take the shot will surely make you miss, it's terrible advice. Also, doing this for a long shot would make the cue ball swerve off target. If you can't pot a ball 4 inches from the pocket you need more practise.

hate to piss on your parade but, You fail to address cueball deflection or squirt on a long shot! This is ok as long as the shot is short and only a few inches from the pocket otherwise not so good on long shots unless you are playing on a very short table. I must say it is good for a true beginner, gives him or her a starting point and then move on to a better aiming system.

This won't work well if you have a low deflection cue but maybe for short shots with house cues it will work ok.

What a disservice to novice players! Do not follow this! Experienced would certainly give this video a thumbs down.

not gonna work for small pockets

Well since I "borrowed" it from watching Efren Reyes, I will...YES...it work on small pockets! LOL! He shoots pretty well on tight pockets. Watch Efren when hitting cut shots. He will cue left or right of center and then pivot back to center cue ball on the last stroke. I made another video showing the variation he uses but its all the same. Just depends which suits your eye better!

Maybe you should train on your aiming. Or maybe you're just not cut out for pool.

Yes, Shane Van Boening does use a similar system in a much more advanced way. The guy in the video addresses this video to beginner pool players. If beginners try his method on the "Thick" shots he so describes, they will be applying unnecessary english to the cue ball and not get the shape they need.

well, the way he describes it is for beginners and intermediate players. a lot of pro players use the throw effects to sink balls.. the ghost ball system has limitations

HE DOESN'T. Shane uses the center of the shaft and the sides for aiming. He doesn't pivot.

Misleading n no base for talking.
