So many great reviews of Center-to-Edge Aiming…Center Pocket Music: Using CTE PRO ONE To Improve Your Pool Game.
“I own Center Pocket Music: Using CTE PRO ONE To Improve Your Pool Game and I can assure you that there’s no better value for the money. The information is the best on aiming in the world to date.”—Greg S.
“I bought Stan’s book and it’s worth more than what he is selling it for. It’s a 4-year college degree in pool and you don’t have to go to class. Do it at home and go to the pool hall and get your money back!”—Buzz H.
“Stan, may God bless you for this incredible legacy you are leaving for the pool world to explore, enjoy, and improve their pool game. You remind me so much of The Man in the Arena by Teddy Roosevelt.—Joey A.
“Stan, I wanted to take the time the thank you for the lesson that we were able to come down for. Over the weekend I played in a tournament that lasted almost 24 hours straight. I have never played that high level with that consistently for that long period of time. I attributed it to CTE and your training. It’s hard for a player to see fundamental flaws without an experienced trainer to help identify where the player should make adjustments or corrections. Your training helped me to really enjoy the game because I was able to play it at a high level for such a long tournament. THANK YOU!”—Lee A.
As far as my game is concerned, I've improved so much with your system and have gotten so many good compliments, I wish I had this system available long before now. Thank you!”—Buzz W.
“I still remember sitting around the pool hall in NJ and trying to wrap my head around what Hal had taught me and thinking that there’s something truly special here but it would take a lifetime to figure it out. Stan Shuffett’s contribution to the game is beyond words. No one and I mean absolutely NO ONE could have done what he’s done. To have to deal with what he has to just to make the game better for others.. on top of figuring the ins and outs of how vision works for pool.. the “treasure hunting” and sifting thru all of Hals materials and info spread across the internet connecting the pieces.. the amount of study and research of pro players and understanding what they are doing visually and physically. I’ve never met anyone so dedicated w as much resolve as Stan Shuffett. We should all be thankful for his tireless efforts.”—Calvin L.“
Stan is an AMAZING instructor! He understands what you're doing. And as a former elementary school teacher, he can very clearly and simply explain and teach, even me, in a way I can understand and use to apply to my game. I just had a session with Stan and in a few hours he got me seeing my CTE shot perspective quickly, as in a few seconds, and then how to apply those skills in game situations. Most importantly, he worked with me on how to PRACTICE my CTE skills to improve my overall pool game. I've used CTE to make impressive difficult shots already, and am so excited to apply the new lessons to my overall game! To top it off, Stan is a great and humble guy, who treats you with respect whether you are a professional or amateur, like me. Thanks Stan for the great lessons!! CTE works and is the way!”—John A.
“CTE and Stan Shuffett’s influence have been so unbelievably impactful in my game, once again I need to show gratitude. Thank you! I'm playing in the BCA nationals for the first time this year. I'm going in with a lot of confidence because my growth (Kiazen) is exceeding the ability for my handicap to catch up to my skills. I am excited to see how I can perform in a professional environment. I've learned so much in such a small amount of time although I would consider a lot of time has been spent at my home table. I've re-learned the game in this order: visual-physical-mental and have a ton more to learn. My facial expressions can't really show how I feel on the inside. My heart has HUGE smiles every time I leave the table, what an unbelievable program! Stan you need an award for your work. Hal would be proud!”-Ruairi B.
“Stan, I would like to thank you for your work on CTE. I have purchased your DVDs, CENTER POCKET MUSIC as well as your training ball, and am currently working my way through your YouTube videos. I am extremely grateful for the amazing work you have done on CTE!!”—Keith D.
”Stan, I found Hal before I found you. I never had the opportunity to speak directly to the man, and as a consequence I wound up with my interpretation of Hal’s genius. This amounted to a number of years of half-baked ideas and half-assed results. And then you came on to the scene. Thanks to your being first the student and then the teacher, you were able to interpret the process in a manner that so many of us can now understand. You did it with grace and dignity, with a love of the game and a willingness to share that casts shame on your detractors. Your willingness to take on the slings and arrows of the naysayer rail birds says all that I need to know about you and your journey. All I ask is stay the course until I can shake your hand and personally thank you for adding so much to my personal passion.”—Tom M.
“It was a pleasure taking a lesson from Stan Shuffett the author of CENTER POCKET MUSIC. It's amazing to have a better understanding and reference to double check aim. I think with a follow up reading of the book I'll have a much better understanding of CTE. I couldn't believe how fast the time went by. Well-worth it.”—Jason G.
“You, in my opinion, are going to change cue sports forever…while marking the point in which the sport can grow in a positive direction—which is so desperately needed for things to reach the point this sport deserves. You are a hero to me and many of my students. You truly honor and raise the game as we all should with every game and with every opponent.”—Stephen R.
“Stan is a wonderful teacher. First time meeting in person but have spent hundreds of hours with him through his videos and his great book, so I really “knew” him in advance. I studied CTE until proficient in its lingo and application before doing the class. So we spent a lot of time on more advanced things like position play and special shots. What an experience. Very highly recommended for both novice and advanced players. He tailors the training to you! Thanks Stan!”—David R.
“I’m not sure how you, basically by yourself, spent so many years experimenting with something so abstract such as sight lines and parallax vision, and came out on the other end with your sanity…this is by far one of the most impressive things I think I’ve ever read regarding pool. If there was something equivalent to a Nobel Prize in pool, nobody would be more deserving than you, Stan.” —Luke, GA
“My best performance in competition to date! I’ve been learning CTE for just over a year but it’s going to be a life-long journey for me. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, Stan!”—Robert M.
“I love your aiming method. Thanks Stan, your book was well worth the price!”—Glenn A., professional pool player
“Tonight I played in a weekly tournament. First time playing since your coaching. I took 3rd ...There were times CTE helped me a lot and you're right, all I needed to do was turn my head so my nose was on the correct side of the cue and I SAW IT! I'm going to be dangerous! I made at least 4 or 5 shots I wouldn't have made if it weren't for CTE!!!”—Justin V.
“I'd like to thank you for making my pool life more enjoyable. I am a completely different player than who you met. What you've done to go out of your way to help people enjoy this game is very admirable.”—Justin L.
“When the shutdown hit and I wasn’t able to visit my pool hall for over a year, I felt like a beginner when I got back to the table. Then I stumbled over your Truth Series on YouTube! What a beautiful piece of explanation! After 6-7 videos suddenly it began to click and I began to understand the mechanics which work together in CTE. It’s fascinating how you build up all those little steps and make them work! That’s why I purchased your book! Finally there is a real system to work with which gives a real reference for EVERY shot! I am so grateful you did all that work!”—Simon B., Germany

“I want to say thank you to Stan for shipping my book out so quickly and carefully packed. The book is no joke huge but the information within is even greater. I am going into this with an open mind to supplement my knowledge of center to edge aiming. Looking forward to this new challenge.”—Rafael M.
“I really don’t understand how anyone can argue the validity of Center-to-Edge Aiming—it is amazing. My only complaint is that I wish I could have found CTE PRO ONE years earlier…who knows where my game would be by now. Thank you, Stan!”—Jerry K., Canada
“I’m leaving from Canada for Stan’s studio soon and I am so excited to be going down to meet him in person. I have his PRO ONE dvd and bought his book so I’m probably his number one fan. For those of you that do not care to learn this incredible system, and learn from who I believe to be an amazing man, in my opinion you will be left behind in a pile of chalk dust.”—Randy C.
“CTE PRO ONE is the leading edge over your competition.”—David D.
“If you play pool and don’t have this book, you’re missing out. The materials the books are made from are top of the line. Thick paper, and a thick hardback for protection. This book will last several lifetimes. One day these books won’t be available anymore so do yourself a favor and get yours.”—John R.
“Stan, I received my order today and I’m speechless. Just started reading and this is everything and more than I could have hoped for. I’m sure this is going to be a new beginning for me once I digest the material and put it to use. I’m so happy with your book!”—Alden W.
“I’m personally thankful that you unraveled CTE. I said it 13 yrs ago and it still stands true. Your work [will one day be] IS the standard to teach pool fundamentals in aiming, sighting, and alignment.”—Calvin L.
“I am 83, have been a lifelong pool student and never really got too good but have surprised some who thought I was a given! Thanks to Stan for his incredible effort and generosity to share this information. The book and videos are a real labor of love.”—Bob B.
Stan, thanks for the book and the wisdom! I made it to the finals of the Queen City Classic—never would have dreamed I could make it in a 128-player field! Center Pocket Music!!!”—Corey P.
“Holy moly! I have over 20 books about pool—yours is at the top of my list! Genius!”—Mike P.
“Yesterday, I was at the table from 9am to 1am just to work on “the Seven” and the mirroring shots on the other end of the table. I realized the beauty of real CTE and I’m glad to report that it was Center Pocket Music all night long. People in the pool hall loved it. Not less than 5 people, many of them are respected ones in the hall, stopped by and asked what I was doing and I didn’t hesitate to tell them that it was the 7 CTE shots that make all shots on the table. As you may have guessed, many showed their skeptical comments. They came back though! I hope you will excuse my rather long testimony and accept my sincere appreciation for your work and your relentless effort to popularize real CTE to the public. I will follow your footsteps to help popularize CTE. I wish you health and joy.” —Huy, Vietnam
“I really don’t understand how anyone can argue the validity of Center-to-Edge Aiming—it is amazing. My only complaint is that I wish I could have found CTE PRO ONE years earlier…who knows where my game would be by now. Thank you, Stan!”—Jerry K., Canada
“Great job on the book, and thank you for your dedication to your Center-to-Edge Aiming group on FaceBook.”—Dave D.
“Top book! I love every minute of it!”—Wiljan S., Belgium
“CTE has kept me at the table and has absolutely revolutionized the game for me. It is more fun than I would have ever thought since my days of playing in college using fractional aiming (i.e. guesswork). If you don't have Stan's book ... buy it. Watch his Truth Series Videos over and over again. His method of teaching is as it should be .... the student should spend time "in the lab", on the table, and experiment for themselves - guided by the book & videos. In "the lab" there will be revealed-insights ("aha moments") that will give you true joy and satisfaction. The book is a masterpiece and well worth the price.”—Allen S.
“Since it’s the holiday season I want to say what a gift CTE is. Thank you Stan for this incredible information. Now nine months in using Center Pocket Music, CTE has become much more natural and my confidence has soared (so has wins vs losses). CTE is very liberating as it has now allowed me to pot balls at a much, much higher percentage and now I am able to give focus to cue ball control, speed control, position which is elevating my game even more.”—Robert C.
…And I would be remiss if I didn't throw in a plug for Center to Edge aiming and Stan Shuffett. While Tyler is fully responsible for doing what he needed to do to make the team by showing the coach the skills and work ethic that was expected, Tyler also took advantage of Stan Shuffett's aiming coaching years prior which has helped him to be confident when aiming. And it is such objective methods which produce good results. We need more of that in American pool in my opinion. Use all the available tools and then let your experience and judgment guide you as to when and how and even whether to use any tool you have.
So Stan, without giving up any names, Tyler is clearly the highest profile player to openly use Center to Edge aiming and I am extremely proud of both of you and glad to know you and been fortunate enough to walk part of this journey…”—John Barton
“Center Pocket Music: Using CTE PRO ONE To Improve Your Pool Game is the greatest pool-shooting book ever written.”—Joe Lee Bush.
“Stan, I have received your beautiful book today. I am astounded with the size, cover, and overall contents of this book. Hal Houle would have been so very proud, and I myself am proud for you and Hal.
Just reading the 1st chapter brings back so many memories of my teachings with Hal. He truly was one of a kind who made pool his lifetime achievement in so many ways. As one of the 1st Hooligans from RSB, I thank you very much for the book and thousands of hours of happy reading in the near future. Anyone who invests in this book shall have the benefit of not just Hal Houle but you as an accomplished teacher. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve their aiming, and enjoy themselves along the way with a tremendous coach such as you.
Thank You for all that you have done for the sport of Pool.”—Linda M.
“I’ve been using disguised pivoting for a while now and it’s becoming a game-changer. Short practice tonight where I broke and ran the first 5 and 6 out of 8 playing 8-ball. Getting into a groove with disguised pivoting! Thanks again for all your work, Stan!”—Mike B.
“I was a fearful player in my time but now with CTE, my game has improved tremendously. With CTE in my arsenal, I can freely experiment and better my cue ball control. Thanks Stan—I appreciate all your insight and hard work.”—Michael M.
“I've been using CTE for the past 6 years or so and watched all of Stan’s videos and ProOne videos. To be honest, even though it’s been a love/hate relationship during the initial 2 years, I stuck with it. Since then, my game sky-rocketed the day I had that 'ah ha' moment. I still had many unanswered questions throughout these years and had been patiently waiting for Stan's book to come out. I've finally got to read his book and watch the truth series a couple times through. And FINALLY, those unanswered questions have been answered!
Started fine tuning CTE with some pocket reducers on my 9 foot Diamond and those things aren’t a joke—3" pockets are tight! The best part about it is that once you put the time in at the table, that Center Pocket Music is truly satisfying…plus, the added confidence after knocking in 10-12 in a row!”
Thank you Stan Shuffett for all that you do!“—Colin Y.
“I purchased Stan’s book and his training ball. Yesterday I won my regional tournament! On to Vegas for World Championships!”—Phil K.
“Stan, I really wish you were in the room as I experience this transformation to my game! I’ve been playing pool “the wrong way” for 20+ years and literally feel like I’m starting over. I’m loving “struggling through” retraining my game because “I KNOW WITHOUT A DOUBT this will change my game for the better! There is NO DOUBT this is the best, most exact, most objective way to play the game.”—Ruairi B.
“Stan, thanks again for your time and instruction. I thoroughly enjoyed learning more about CTE. Oddly, I feel like the time we spent together increased my practical understanding of CTE while at the same time adding another level of mystery. I will do my best to apply what I have learned as I read your book and continue to practice.”—Alex D.
“I’ve been following you for years. After a sabbatical for 3 years, I began to play again and enjoy studying your work. Your system is solid.”—George C.
“Thanks for the book! I am absolutely thrilled to have it! It is clearly evident that this was a valiant and timeless effort on your part…to share your expertise on something you have been so passionate about all your life—wow!!”—Alice F.
“I’m just getting started. CTE is a game-changer. Buy Stan’s book—best investment you’ll ever make for your game.”—Michael R.
“Stan, I know you know this but your book is really brilliant. Thanks!”—David D.
The world doesn't have the slightest clue as to how ground breaking and powerful your research is. Keep doing what you’re doing! In 100 years from now when they speak on billiards, your name will be in high regards for shifting the culture and raising the bar to its pinnacle. Thank you for everything. I'm enjoying the book.”—Jemuel C.
“I received my copy of Center Pocket Music on Thursday, a day ahead of expectations. BEAUTIFULLY DONE? You and your family must be proud of such a fine production, Stan. Thank you for all your work, knowledge and willingness to share CTE and all that goes along with it. Thanks again for everything Stan, Connie, Kiley and Landon.”—Joe B.
“I finished Stan’s masterpiece of literature and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that after my start of the CTE journey late last year, this system is like no other. It has revitalized my game beyond what I ever could have imagined.”—Eric B.
“Thank you very much for pouring your work into the tangible that is in your new book. Got to finally glance at it last night and first and foremost, I was very impressed by the sheer size of the book! All of that info can’t be packed into a “standard” sized book.”—Tony L.
“So blessed to have Stan Shuffett in our sport. I was fortunate to be introduced to objective aiming by Hal Houle. Stan was also introduced to objective aiming by Hal but decided to explore Hal’s methods to a deeper level than any other person. As a result he has refined the Center-to-Edge method of aiming so that instructions and application are clear and precise. The benefit for me and so many other players is that aiming is now a directed activity instead of a guessing-game.”—John Barton
“Super-excited to dive into this great book! If you’re looking to improve your game, CTE PRO ONE is a great tool to add to your game. Message Stan to order your own book because you can’t borrow mine! (lol)”—Robert Frost
From Endorsed Instructor Gerry Williams: “I am gonna be busy for a while! Thanks Stan, I can’t wait to dig in!”
“Just received Center Pocket Music: Using CTE PRO ONE To Improve Your Pool Game by Stan Shuffett! If you’re not (yet) a fan of CTE, this book has a wealth of billiard knowledge in it. You can tell that Stan put his heart and soul into this book. Overall, this is a great tool in your toolbox in regards to learning the game and honing your skills. I highly recommend you purchase this book!”—Muhammad A.
“My book arrived today! Thanks so much for doing this Stan, and allowing us all the privilege to review your life’s work. It truly is an honor!!”—Jesse D.
“Stan, I got my copy of Center Pocket Music—a true coffee table work of art…for pool no less! IMHO, you did it right my friend!!”—Bill G.
“I finished this amazing book. I learned so many things about the CTE aiming system and about stroke. I appreciate you, Stan!”—Sahivash S.
“The world doesn't have the slightest clue as to how ground breaking and powerful your research is. Keep doing what you’re doing! In 100 years from now when they speak on billiards, your name will be in high regards for shifting the culture and raising the bar to its pinnacle. Thank you for everything. I'm enjoying the book.”—Jemuel C.
From a top professional player who acknowledges his use of CTE PRO ONE (Center-to-Edge Aiming):
“Hi Mr. Shuffett, I’m Stephan Cohen from France, Former World Straight Pool Champion in 2009 against Mika Immonen. My high run is 431 balls and I’m using now for five years your CTE system. It is just to say to people it (CTE) works near to perfection. I changed all my game for it and I have no regrets!!! Also I wanted to say thanks to my mentor Danny DiLiberto. He is the same way as you as he loves to share knowledge. I do as well now. I’m one of your ambassadors from all around the world.”“This isn't just a book about pool. This is a masterpiece that describes how our vision works on and off the pool table and what we can truly do with our eyes with the proper education.
I truly feel that if your book isn't destroyed with highlighter or pieced together with different colored paper like mine is, you truly aren’t doing yourself enough justice.
This was a great read and Stan said it best toward the end of the book—this takes hours to master, but this information will help any player play at a stronger level if you put in the time from the beginning to the end.”—Eric N.
“Truth of the matter is Stan Shuffett is the one and only guy who has Center-to-Edge Aiming right. It’s a great system and I’ve been using Center-to-Edge Aiming since I was 18 and I’d never aim any other way.”—Pro Player Tyler Styer
“Thanks for thinking of us left-handed players in your book. I really appreciate it!”—Allen S.
“Your book is outstanding. I have over 100 books on pool and billiards and I think your system and tips are excellent. Your book is worth $1000.00. I could have used it 40 years ago.”—Pete B.
“There is nothing else to say! This book is awesome! Can’t wait to take some full-day lessons one-on-one!!!”—Phillip S.
“Center-Pocket Music: Using CTE PRO ONE to Improve Your Pool Game will change my pool playing (forever). Thank you, sir—you are a godsend!”—Randy C.
“I think I got it (the visual process) tonight. I was seeing it (the stepping phenomenon) but not fully understanding it. I thoroughly went over pages 54-55…after going forward through the book and coming back to these pages with a little more knowledge, I saw it. Holy Moly!!”—Rodney T.
“Stan, your work is well-founded on viewpoint, rooted in truth…this concept of SEEING will be around for as long as there is pocket billiards.”—Bill G.
“So happy to have the book and looking forward to going deeper with CTE!”—Luis
“Stepping the cue ball = absolutely revolutionary! Thank you for your work, Stan!”—Ethan F.
“I can honestly say that CTE PRO ONE is the most accurate of all of the systems I’ve used.”—Scott R.
“I just wanted to take a quick moment and thank you so much for providing The Truth Series (YouTube) and all the hard work that you have done throughout the years with CTE. I would have been lost without all your hard work and I believe without a shadow of a doubt, this truly is the only way to correctly sight.”—Vincent P.
“Thanks for the book. It is excellent! I was always using a form of CTE, but now can understand what I was doing wrong and right. Center-Pocket Music: Using CTE PRO ONE to Improve Your Pool Game is helping me out a lot!”—Mike D.
“Your CTE Training Object Ball is amazing! It really helps me to see the visuals so clearly. I use it every day during my practice.”—George G.
“The work Stan has put into refining Hal’s (Houle) original ideas has opened this up for the rest of us to study and enjoy. The book (Center-Pocket Music: Using CTE PRO ONE to Improve Your Pool Game) is beautiful and packed with knowledge and shows Stan’s dedication and work and refinement over many years.”—Scott R.https://www.justcueit.com/buy
