Cte

he knows it over as well, time was not on his side but on the side of the users. He will not admit it because for 10 years now he has insulted people about it and he would would have to say he was wrong. Think about this :)

PJ: No... Champ. The game's not over.

[As Spidey's voice continues O.S., PJ pulls himself into a chair at the console, one of his hands useless at his side].

PJ: (continuing) To the last I will grapple with thee!

[ON SCREEN, CTE, intermittent image, backs away. PJ smiles triumphantly through his pain. An electronic power SOUND has been building].

PJ: No... You can't get away... From hell's heart I stab at thee... (amid the pain) For hate's sake... I spit my last breath at thee!

[PJ topples forward, dead. The WHINE continues to build chillingly].

You are a true soldier. The naysayers are weakening. Even Silky Johnson is choosing his words more carefully. Some of the naysayers have gone to never-never land and will not be returning. (thank God).
 
lol, pockets magically moving, balls levitation and the table physically moving, one handed shots. Whats next are going to ask if cte can be shot through a wall in another room? Get real already and stop this bs, its over!!

As usual, doing the CTE sidestep to actually showing how to use "THE SYSTEM of SYSTEMS" on real world shots.

You guys got that dance step down. I mean thats all yall really do is dance around without proving anything of substance.

PJ put himself in a position that if he became more cte knowledgeable his position in this fight would change and he would have to concede like most have. He used the unknown to his advantage but now we are slowly figuring it all out, but im sure we will see "FEEL" again and he will try and force his opinion down our throats because we all know he wont 100% give in lol
 
I am looking for an easy way to effect thin cuts by using the edge of the CB to aim on spots on the OB without parallel shifting.

For thin cuts, as you know, the stick is pointed into space beyond the edge of the OB. If you are willing to aim with the edge of the CB on such shots, why are you not willing to aim with the contact point on the CB? Obviously, I'm recommending contact-point-to-contact-point aiming. Just find the intended contact point on the OB and aim to hit it with the equal-but-opposite point on the CB. Same for every shot. No double-the-distance for some shots and something else for other shots. Sure, the stick is not necessarily on that CP-to-CP line, but so what. There is no perspective problem because you're just concerned with one straight line from point to point. I think you're over-complicating this whole thin-cut thing.
 
I have yet to read any naysayer back down from their stance on CTE. Just because you keep writing it, doesn't make it so.

All that is need to do is read the thread about answering question from the CTE DVD thread to see how unclear the DVD is to alot of people. Maybe that should be a sticky so people can get a honest feeling for how the DVD is or is not being accepted instead of bullshit being spread.

I've never backed down from my statement that CTE is useless because it is too hard to learn, overcomplicated, does not work on all shots, and can not get you into the correct stance for all shots.

I've posted shots to be made and none have, why is that?

Show how to use CTE one handed?

Show how to use CTE behind the back.

Show how to use CTE using a bridge shooting over a ball in front of the CB.

Show a rail first shot.

Ever seen a fancy drawing using CTE in a combo or carom?

Nope, just, as Woody Allen would say, mental masturbation by the CTE proponents as usual.


Why would i want to shoot one handed?

behind the back is shown on the dvd.

I would use the same visual as taught in cte/pro1 using a bridge or shooting over a ball but would make an adjustment because of the closeness of the balls, very simple things to do!

A rail first shot,carom or combo just takes an adjustment like any other aiming method would and have explained this before to you.

Can you come up with some tougher questions, please? Pj is stuck on feel and i know your stuck on the caroms :thumbup:

I beleive there is an example of how to do a carom on the dvd, maybe you should buy the dvd :)

I have always contested that you cannot have a center pocket system without determining the contact point on the OB in one way or another. It's necessary to know the exact location of the pocket's center in order to shoot center pocket, and the contact point on the OB provides you with that information.

The system you are shown on the dvd will put you on the contact point on the ob and we don't know how and you know this! Apparently it's not necessary to know the exact location of the pockets center in order to shoot center pocket you also know this. You have been in these cte threads long enough to know this and spiderweb even made a video with the pocket blocked to show this exact point.
It's not necessary to know the exact location of the pocket's center in order to shoot center pocket? No, I don't know this. Doesn't that kinda defy logic?

And I have seen spidey's video. I asked him a question about his video and I'm still awaiting a response.
 
...concede like most have.

I haven't seen these concessions of which you speak.

In my own case, you have asked me if I had any more questions, and I replied that I didn't. Is that one of the 'concessions' you reference?

(Of course, I'm just a small-fry in this whole exchange; but I don't recall reading the concessions of any of the major players in the discussion. Could you enumerate them?)

I agree it does defy logic :confused: I cant tell you how or why but can tell you it does. This will be figured out by jwpretd, he is the only one i see capable of figuring this out.This system is obviously putting you on the exact contact point somehow, when used precisely?

This tells me you have no issues with the system and i see your mostly in these thread trying to give pj support, i guess your his friend or something? I have no issue with you Swest, you seem like an ok guy to me.

I have tried CTP to CTP aiming, but I was using my stick to line up and then parallel shift to the center of the CB. If I missed, I blamed it on the shift. I tried 90-90 aiming for there was a pivot and no parallel shift, but the bridge distance changes for CB to OB separations.

I have tried CTE at the table and like it for thin cuts and I still see double distance aiming well enough. I have said that this CTE is an academic persuit for me.

If you look at the diagram that I proffered, the results indicate that for thin cut shots (the ones that I looked at 60 degree - 1/2/"B"; 48 degree - 1/4/"A" and 44 degree 1/8/1/8), when the distance between the CB and OB is more than 3 feet, 4 feet and....the side shift is so small that the secondary aiming puts you on the ghost ball line (GBL) within one degree. At a two foot separation you use 1/2 tip offset and decrease it until you get to the 3 foot - no shift required.

I think that this is an epiphany that I will verify at the table.

Just smiling.:):thumbup:
