Dr dave in a way, it seems to me u missed the opportunity to buy microsoft stock at its beginnings and failed to see its potential in making a lot of other products in a way less useful. <<< i wasn't sure what word to use there. You have missed a strait in shot on the 9 and hung it over the pocket is the only reason i can think of as to why your a bit negative towards cte...ijs

Lets just change a couple words here and see what we get.

1. (Pre Shot Routine) Makes player aware of his distance from the table.
Which in return causes a player to STEP into the shot at the proper distances .
2. (Pre Shot Routine) helps a player turn into the shot from the correct side
3. (Pre Shot Routine) causes a player to use correct and consistant bridge lengths
4. I could go on, but what other (Pre shot routine) even gives you this

I never got to the aiming part, GB dam sure wont help you with a
much needed pre-shot routine. Its just a bonus

You guys aren't doing the "Dr. Dave thing" right. You have to link every other word or phrase to a page on his website.

J/K!! (Dr. Dave, don't kill me -- just injecting some much-needed levity into this.) :D

Yeah, poor old Dr. Dave. Pooped on by the crows but he's delighted to get the opportunity to heist another thread on CTE. :grin:

But really, I was complaining about Mike copying my usage of the font properties. :grin-square:

Sean, I know you've been dying to get into the naysayers troupe, but you've got to get a lot more nasty & testy than you seem inclined to be. This brand of ridicule is amateurish at best. :wink:

Ah Joey, Joey, Joey. I don't want to "get into" any camp. My gentle ribbing was directed specifically at Dr. Dave (one of the "naysayers" as you like to refer to them). There were no "disguised" ulterior motives or pokes at anyone else besides Dr. Dave, whether you think they were implied or inferred. Nothing but a gently-couched, "ok, Dr. Dave, the profuse linking is getting a little tiring" (there, I said it outright).

As I mentioned in another post in this thread (methinks to cookie man), I'm disgusted with the downturn in this thread, for what was supposed to be a positive trip report. :(

Sean,
I know you know I was just joking about you wanting to get into the troupe. You are your own man and you stand on your own strong and solid convictions.

One of the qualities that I really like about you is that you are able to discuss strong differences of opinion and make the other guy like what you had to say regardless of whether they agree with you or not.

Dr. Dave is all good. He might be living in Colorado but he's a Louisiana boy and used to a little seasoning.

Thanks for your sentiments on the thread. Maybe there will come a time some day in the future when men will be able to discuss things like you discuss them without rubbing people the wrong way. But just to reiterate, this thread isn't about how CTE/Pro One works.

An update may be in store in a few days and I will keep everyone abreast of my experience with CTE providing the management of AZ Billiards doesn't see fit to close down the thread.

(I hear that a certain other person might be coming back from his sabbatical and that could destroy the thread altogether if that person's behavior hasn't been permanently altered for the good. We'll have to see how much was learned during his retreat.)

Per your avatar, Spock needs a little work on his Vulcan Salute. The angle between his middle and ring fingers is too small, and the angle between his thumb and index finger is too large. Spock needs to watch the following videos to learn how to calibrate his hand and how to use the salute to his benefit at the pool table:

I like a well-calibrated Vulcan salute. I sometimes use it during league to make my teammates giggle and to strike fear into the hearts of the opposition.

May you live long and prosper (and reach CTE enlightenment),
Dave

PS: I apologize in advance if any Buddhists out there are offended by my use of a religious word. :grin:

The 30-degree-rule peace sign is very versatile, Grasshopper.

Wow, with this blatant multitude of blasphemies, all of the vengeful deities will surely have me burn for eternity. :frown:

Hopefully, the deities will at least give me a little credit for helping to spread the word concerning the power and love of the peace sign. :grin:

Drug Use by Pool players.

I love you too. Now go smoke another mushroom (and try CTE again).

Peace brother,
Dave

Now you see, there you go AGAIN. That's not nice suggesting drug use with CTE. You may have to eat a few of those cow patty mushrooms as an act of contrition, not that it would be much punishment for you.

But I guess if smoking mushrooms is good enough for Dr. Dave, Mike Page and Joe Rogan, I will let it slide just this once.

So far I've only managed to plow through the first 52 pages, so if I've missed this discussion please forgive me.

So here's my question. I've seen a lot of discussion on geometry and getting to that geometrically correct contact point. However, as I think we all know, geometry isn't the whole story. You can get the geometry of the cut 100% correct, hit the OB directly on the contact point and still miss miserably because of collision induced throw, spin induced throw, skid, COF of the cloth, etc. In a word, physics.

I'm not making any claims to knowing the answer. I certainly do not. However it occurs to me that perhaps CTE is somehow taking portions of the physics into account without us knowing it.

What do you think? :confused:

As a player, you still have to be aware of these influences,
Some are enough to make you miss and some not
It is not built in. But cte is a center pocket system, that would
leave the largest margin of error on either side of the ball being pocketed
