With CTE you should never lose (except to another CTE)

Apparently with CTE it becomes easy to pocket balls from pretty much everywhere. But it is also said that CTE alone won't make you a champion.

If you can pocket 99.9% of balls that you can see, you should at least be able to get decent position on the next ball. And if you don't, your CTE will enable you to pocket the ball even if you leave yourself a bad shot.

Bottom line is with CTE, even if you can't play position and don't play patterns very well, you'll still be able to run out backwards.

I don't see how the CTE player can lose.
 
CTE is nothing more than a Toool, IMHO it is like a Set of Nuro Surgical Tools, in the Right Hand the tools will do wondeful things, if you have no BASIC POOL SKILLS, the Patient will Die.
 
cte aiming

all this fuss over an aiming system, that is or is not the best out there. i dont care what system you use, it still comes down to the old saying. it is not the arrow, it is the indian who uses it.
 
What about other factors that can influence who wins a set.

Breaking
Safety play
Kicking/jumping
And finally one no one discusses. Luck

Focusing on one thing, aiming is rather shortsighted.

That's where VEPS comes in:

VEPS + CTE is a lethal combination for the people who can use CTE effectively. For the people who can't, or for the people who use some other (or no) "aiming system," VEPS is still the nuts. :thumbup:

Sorry, I couldn't resist posting another marketing plug. All of the recent CTE marketing threads make it too hard to resist. It's like a virus. :eek: :grin-square:

On a more serious note, accurate and consistent aiming and an accurate and consistent stroke are of paramount importance; but as you point out, there are many other skills important to excelling at this wonderful sport. Tom and I, when we were planning VEPS, came up with 50 important skill categories summarized here:

OK, a few of the 50 really aren't "skill categories," but 50 sounds a lot better than 47. ;)
