Learning to AIM Correctly in Billiards!- Center to Edge - More a Traditional Method

Another CTE- Center to Edge video with a more a traditional method in lining up for your aiming and provide the steps for a more controlled method to aim correctly. The traditional method steps are:
1-Visually lining CCB to opposite the OB cut.
2- Your now in position with your left leg behind CCB lining up with the cue on that visual. Once lined up your aim line is decided A, B or C. (15,30, 45 deg) based on the cut.
3- From 1/2 tip offset you move to CCB and shoot,.
**This is an advanced video and if your not familiar with A, B, C aimlines, pls check prior videos to understand this concept.

CTE can be confusing for players. I switched to using CTE 3 years ago, and it changed my accuracy and shot making so much. The pivot can confuse players the most I think. It comes down to making the system work for you. Find your way into the system. How/when to pivot. I stand behind the object ball and look at the contact point or line to the pocket. Go to the cue ball, and look at the center to the edge of the object ball. Go down looking at the edge of the object ball and make my pivot somewhat halfway down into my stance. It put me right in line perfectly. I love the system and with enough practice it will work for you.

so when i get down to a shot, should the A B C lines face me and the cue ball?, or it should face the pocket ?

There are variations of CTE it is what works for you 👍🎱

[@thangpham6942]

hello sir i don't understand when to choose A , B , C or 1/8 because between A and B is a small interval as well as B and C or C and 1/8 can you specify more or choose A, B, C or 1/8 is due to experience?

[@Jammer80s]

I'm so confused... From my understanding, you're going right to left visualizations on a left pocket cut shot?

[@Frogbillards]

Look up center ball ... I've learned a lot under that category.. Then I learned from watching snooker aim videos Hope it helps

[@dharialhouly6958]

and how exactlly can i decide whether the shot is 15,30 or 45 degrees ?

[@howardberger3676]

Angle is based on direction to the pocket. (ie)15 degrees is a straight shot...

[@howardberger3676]

There are 2 methods Traditional Aimlines face the OB ball ,my style Aimlines face the pocket.

[@jeremiahhoffman5797]

Way I do it, I start of my standing stance looking CCB to Edge of the object ball, all it does for me put me 30 degree shot, then I narrow down to either A,B,C or edges even if it is 30 degree shot or not.

[@bucksniper65]

I don't get why all the movement and pivoting? Why not just find the line to the point on the ball and lay down on it and shoot?

[@howardberger3676]

That may be okay for advanced players..
