CTE and throw
- Thread starter seanjonsean
- Start date
FYI, the controversy about "aiming systems" (CTE is only one of them) is:
1. Aiming system users contend the systems give complete and exact instructions for how to aim shots precisely.
2. Non-users contend "aiming systems" only get you closer to the final aim, but do have some additional value as "pre-shot routines" that can make setting up for shots more consistent (which everybody agrees is valuable for good shooting, but an "aiming system" isn't needed to get it).

Now business is starting to pick up.
Still a few more who are obviously tardy...
(Thinks that if everyone could get over the necessity of using the term "exact", a reasonable and civil discussion could take place.
.... :scratchhead:
.... :scratchhead:
Nah......... on second thought, even that wouldn't work! :grin-devilish: )

Dub, I bet you never thought I'd stay out of a CTE thread. HA ! this is my very first entry for any CTE thread. I read them all, never said a peep, and that was pretty tough for me, that's for sure.
Going to see Stan Shuffett next month for a weekend. Maybe, and only maybe, I will finally get to join the fun and exciting cte threads !! Maybe even start a thread upon my return !! yikes.

lol.... I look forward to hearing about your experience.
In the context of CTE and throw, Spidey said it very well. I learned the system about 5 months ago and have found that is is a powerful guideline, for me at least, however it works. But I do have to make slight adjustments when cutting a ball thinly for instance, or on certain banks, to compensate for collision induced throw or other variables, just like I would when shooting my old way. So I don't know that CTE or any aiming approach is going to help with all of the posssible variables that occur on the table or on certain shots.
As to what the pros use or discussing the merits of CTE - not touching that with a 10' pole...oke:

From this statement, it's not clear if you are referring to back-hand english (BHE) or center-to-edge (CTE) aiming. Both involve a pivot. You can find lots of information and demonstrations for both techniques via the links.
Generally speaking, absolutely not (BHE or CTE)!

Dave
PS: Actually, looking at the title of the thread, it looks like you are referring to CTE, but some people get these confused.

Madame Ouspenskaya is taking me to visit with Willie Mosconi and Ralph Greenleaf next weekend. My thread will top your thread.
Greenleaf will confirm the CTE information.
DR Dave ure corrrect in reffrence to cte, i didnt express my question correctly ,
hmmm
Dude, that would be the thread of the century !! But I got a feeling your weekend is gonna be more expensive once she gets your credit card number !!

This topic makes me laugh! I use CTE and I dare challenge anyone to a few different cut shots, using CTE vs., just banging the ball. Now, I adjust much like Stevie Moore, Matt Krah, and the MANY other pros that use parallel lines and CTE, or a variation there of it.
Just because you can't grasp the concept doesn’t mean it is outright wrong.
What you all fail to realize is your body and mind when in sync will recognize the adjustments, sometimes slight adjustments to make the ball. I will challenge anyone (on this forum) to cut shots up the rail 8 foot shots with a the CB center of the table and the OB 1/2 inch off the rail. Ill make this shot all day using CTE. But I don't pivot, I adjust.

I challenge you to these shots: The first one, put the green stripe in the corner, the second put the 6 in the corner behind the 9. Simple cut shots.

If they are simple cut shots, What is the challenge you make?
