Let's move on
This thread is about Cte and Stan Shuffett. Again I post with my keen grasp of the obvious. As previously stated and mentioned by Mike Page in one of his previous posts (no, I'm not gonna look for it, I'm too lazy), parts are missing in the Cte description and he knows this fact. This is the basis of ALL the arguements in these threads.
The debaters contend that Cte can't work with the instructions offered on this forum. I agree. They are incomplete and have said so. You need to know how to do it before you can use it. Simple logic. Stan Shuffett is offering the solution, but not merely CTE which was given to us by Hal Houle. He is offering his hard earned improvement to Cte, Pro One aiming.
He does deserve credit for not only bringing Cte to the public eye after Hal and followers were beaten up unmercifully (too strong an analogy?:wink

for years, but for having the foresight to realize there was another way to teach pool players to aim not using conventional techniques. His seminal ideas will help those that can't visual the ghost ball or line up correctly on the shot angle because of poor sighting abilities. This can be a problem for almost all of us, whether we want to admit it or not.
Cte is not Voodoo (where are u Voodoo Daddy?). It relies on visual aiming points that can be used in conjunction with a pivot to pocket balls. Eventually the user eliminates the use of a pivot and attains the aiming line naturally...a sort of feel approach to their game. This may surprise Cte debaters who envision all Cte'rs as pivoting obviously around tables and guessing when to stop at center CB.
The end result is a natural, visual method that physically resembles any other aiming system. In other words you can't tell the difference, but it's there. Only you don't have to think about it. You've assimilated it into your game and are moving on to figuring out the rest of the story.
After the release of Stan's dvd these discussions will turn to real discussions about Cte. Hopefully Pro One will remain a subject which remains taught by the dvd alone, but Cte will be out there. Meaningful exchanges of ideas and valid questions will replace the sniping (not all of it I hope :wink

and then we can probably look forward to mending fences and some intelligent responses.
I saw on the news the other day where they had genetically engineered a pig with the wings of a Pteradactyl. I wonder what's next? Billiards in the Olympics?
Best,
Mike
