How does the Center-to-Edge (CTE) aiming system work? My Version & Perception with Shaft 4 BEGINNERS

CTE (Center-To-Edge) is an “align-and-pivot” pre-shot routine and “aiming system” that uses a line through the center of the CB and outside edge of the OB as a reference. There are several different versions and interpretations of CTE, but they are all based on establishing an initial “alignment” and then “pivoting” to the final aiming-line direction. Here is a description of an early version of CTE taught by Hal Houle: https://billiards.colostate.edu/faq/a… 1. Align the cue 1 tip to the right of the CB center through the right edge of the OB. 2. Place the bridge hand down with the cue along this line. 3. Pivot the cue until the cue is pointed directly through the center of the CB. 4. Stroke perfectly straight along this line. For a “half-ball hit” (close to 30°) to the left: 1. Align the cue through the center of the CB and through the right edge of the OB. 2. Place the bridge hand down with the cue along this line. 3. Stroke perfectly straight along this center-to-edge (CTE) line. For a “thin hit ” (a large cut angle, more than about 45°) to the left: 1. Align the cue 1 tip to the left of the CB center through the right edge of the OB. 2. Place the bridge hand down with the cue along this line. 3. Pivot the cue until the cue is pointed directly through the center of the CB. 4. Stroke perfectly straight along this line. Thumbnail pic from https://www.google.ca/search?q=center…
