CTE for N00bs?

Hey guys - I have been watching the poo-flinging fest otherwise known as CTE here for a while.

I have read alot of the threads. I have watched some youtube vids where a guy spends 15 mins drawing chalk lines on his table and then misses 50% of the shots and blames it on his stroke.

I am casually interested in checking out CTE for myself (yes, I am open-minded), but Im not ready to ship off 50$ for the full DVD.

WHat I am looking for is a thread, video, or web page that tells me exactly how to shoot maybe 3 different shots with CTE, including where to place the bridge hand, how to line the shot up and how to pivot correctly for that shot. As an outsider looking in, I have not seen this type of info yet. I am sure that it is buried in here somewhere, but I probably missed it and I am sick of digging through the crap to try to find it.

This is *not* a thinly veiled lol @ cte post - I am interested in it, but I want some clearly described examples prior to shelling out the cash.

Lets not turn this into another pro v con fight to the death. Naysayers - just let the CTE guys point me to the info, and let me figure out for myself if it is worth the 50$.
 
i would try an help you out but as this will turn into the same old cte battleground. There are guys that have never even seen the instructional dvd that are putting up a stink in those threads and two guys that have the dvd but were unable to figure it out. Sorry buddy your outta luck and you can thank Mr Patrick Johnson for that. Its worth the $50 and if you have trouble your just a pm away from help.

CTE/Pro One is optimally learned in a 5-6 hour setting. Yes, one to one is always a first preference. Having said that, many interested players from around the U.S. And in other countries are interested in learning CTE/Pro One. I am pleased to say that hands-on is not a must requirement. All necessary info is on my DVD. There is a requirement of study and practice. Many are getting CTE/Pro One without one to one instruction.

Yeah, that would be me missing the shots, not 50% though and you should really pay attention to the steps being described. Sorry that none of my other videos helped you. Strangely enough though I got emails and messages from plenty of other people who said that they have helped. I do the best I can making the videos on my lunch break. I guess you missed the one where I went through my whole stance routine.

However it's really a no-brainer. If you want to learn CTE and you can't get one-to-one instruction then buy the DVD. Everything you need is on it.
 
Are your videos posted anywhere? I bought the dvd and have watched it a couple times, but I haven't been able to figure out CTE either...:(
 
We need an admin to move all this stuff to one single area in the review or instruction area. It does not belong in the main forum. Since it's so popular with this handful of people on here let's give cte it's own area. The stuff is like a cancer on here.

do yourself a favour and buy the dvd.$50 dollars isn't a lot to spend on quality instruction.
you'll never pick it up fully reading about it on here
 
Stan, you just stated i can learn cte in a 4 or 5 hr setting, right? You did say no hands on needed right? I'm a old man who played on the road for many years, quit for 20yrs and started back about 3yrs ago, {haven't played in 2 months} not any good bar table player in Al, are you telling me you can improve my game with cte?
 
Exoldschoolpro, the 5 hour setting is with my personal instruction. Yes, absolutely, I can help you to improve your game. As far as my DVD is concerned, the material can be learned independently of personal instruction. As I previously indicated, study and table time are a must. The system is not complicated. It's a different way of aiming and it does take an amount of time to adapt to. That time varies from person to person.
