CTE Aiming w/ Side Spin, Basic Position Play, Pool Lessons

What's going on YouTube? Today's video is going to be a basic position play using TTE. For this setup, you're going to place the cue ball on the first diamond on the short rail and a diamond and a half on the long rail. Where the object ball lays is going to be on the second diamond on the short rail and a diamond and a quarter on the long rail itself. The 11 ball is going to be representing as the ghost ball. What I do to my cut shots, I use a modified TTE. As you can see where this cue ball lays and the ghost ball and the object ball, if you go right behind this object ball and you line this up to the pocket, you'll notice that this ghost ball is covering exactly that object ball. But when you rotate your body to where the cue ball meets and covers up that ghost ball, you'll notice only a quarter of the object ball is peaking. This will be telling you that this is going to be a three-fourths ball hit. When I do my TTE, I do a modified TTE also. So for this cut, this is going to be a left cut. So I'm going to be cutting the one into this pocket, making it a left cut. So I would aim the left side of the edge of this cue ball to A, B, and C. So I noticed that this is a three-fourths ball hit. So I noticed that the edge is aiming exactly to the A. Then I'll get the center of this cue ball and aim it to the edge of the object ball. And then once I get those two pair of lines, I know for sure I am fully aligned and I should make that one ball to the corner pocket. For this shot, I'm going to pocket the one in the corner pocket, apply top right on the cue ball, and get positioned onto your bump right here. For this shot, this is the same shot I did earlier. As you can see, if you go right behind 11, that 11 covers that one ball fully going into the pocket. So when you rotate your body going from the cue ball to the object ball, you'll notice that 11 covers three-fourths of the one. But what you also notice is that you have a quarter of the one ball exposed. For this shot, it's going to be a right cut. Therefore, I'm going to aim the right side of the cue ball to C, and I'm going to aim the center of the cue ball to the edge of the object ball. I'm going to do a right to left sweep with aiming the tip on the top left, and hopefully landing over here for position on the two. For this position play, I placed the one ball on the second diamond on the long rail and the first diamond on the short rail. I placed the cue ball on the opposite side of the table, where it's going to be on the third diamond on the long rail and the first second diamond on the short rail. The other object ball is going to be right on the rail itself, and it's going to be on the first diamond on the short rail. For this shot, if you go right behind the 11 ball, you'll notice that the 11 covers the one ball going to this corner pocket. But if you go right behind the cue ball, you'll notice that the 11 is only covering three-fourths of the ball, only exposing a quarter of the one ball itself. For this shot, I'll be aiming the right edge of the cue ball to C of the object ball, and the center of the cue ball to the edge of the object ball. I'll do a right to left sweep, and also aim my tip to the top right, and hopefully get position on the three ball over here. This is going to be the same shot I did before. The only difference is I'm going to be applying top left on the cue ball. But I'm going to be aiming the right edge of the cue ball to C, and I'm going to aim the center of the cue ball to the edge of this object ball. The only difference is when I do my right to left sweep, I'll be aiming a tip on the top left. I set up another shot for this drill. As you can see, I have the one ball on the third diamond on the long rail and the first diamond on the short rail. Where the cue ball lays is going to be the opposite side of the table. On the third diamond on the long rail and the first diamond on the short rail. But the only difference is I'm going to be doing a bottom right and a bottom left cut shot on these shots. For this shot, it's going to be a left cut. Therefore, I'm going to be aiming the left side of the cue ball to A, B, and C. But this is a three-fourths ball hit. Therefore, I'm going to aim the edge to the A. I'm going to get the center of the cue ball, aim it to the edge of the object ball, making a three-fourths ball hit. I'll do a left to right sweep and place my tip on the low left or on the low right. For this shot, I'm going to be aiming low right on the cue ball and get positioned for a three-to-long hit. For this shot, I'm going to be aiming low left on the cue ball and get positioned for a three. I just did some basic position play using CTE with side spin. Hopefully, this video was informative. Stay tuned. I'm going to be doing a review on my wife's new case. And thank you for watching. See you next time. Thank you for watching. Please subscribe me. Don't forget the thumbs up. Bye-bye.
