Ever thought of backing up a claim with proof?
Tell you what, I don't know what you would accept as proof but here is what I did. I was at Stan's place and I challenged him wth dozens of shots. I was trying to find shots that he could not make somewhere using his method.
Most of the shots he made on the first try or on the second and then he owned it. Some of them took a few more tries as he worked through the possible combinations of visual and sweep. Once he figured it out then he owned that shot.
It was amazing actually to watch him use a method to essentially UNLOCK shots. It wasn't feel and adjust, it was eliminate immediate all visuals that absolutely won't work, left with two possibles, choose one, if it works great and if not choose the other one and it surely works.
I am so confident I would put Stan up in a shot making contest against anyone, including every living pro player. I am pretty sure that most of the people on this forum have ZERO chance to get any where close to Stan's ability to make any given shot. And by that I mean ANY shot that goes to a pocket.
So I don't know what counts as proof but that was pretty damn convincing to me.
Someone posted the math supprting ghost ball on here once years ago. They said it was the math for GB at least. I wouldn't know because I don't understand math at that level. The point is that the math was utterly useless as far as a human being's practical application of the ghost ball method.
And so it is with CTE. The math doesn't matter to the player.
