Interesting CTE INFO

i did not use a phrase with you concerning the ferrule/tip concept and memory. You can not produce such an email. If you can, then i will put it into context but what you describe has noting to do with what i teach.
My az posts alone offer a tremendous amount of support to any one interested in cte whether they own a dvd or not.

It is this kind of attach on me that makes az not worth it. You have been negative about cte pro one. Landon, stevie and me.
Your posts represent an attack and readers can see by referencing your posts history.

I hope the moderators will step in.

You replied to my e-mail like this:
Try to pay attention to the position of your cue tip in relationship to the ob's center or edge. Ob's center and edges are also objective and should be used. This will boost your confidence.

You still call me a liar? If those are not your words, then i received this e-mail by another guy with the name stan shuffett. And you can tell that i produced this???? Really????

Nothing wrong with that email. Stop being such a sensitive baby and grow a pair.

Stans customer service is excellent.

YOU MEAN A HAIRY PAIR Mr D-BAG ???????????

DO YOU USE PRO ONE IN COMBO WITH TIP/FERRULE AIMING??????

I SPEAK THE TRUTH. AND THE TRUTH HURTS. AND YOU ARE A DONK.

I remember that and I do not understand all the fuss.
I was merely giving the okay to you to check your perception with the OB based on your previous experiences with tip position.
When I shoot a zero angle type shot, I do notice the tip is pointed at the OB core. I was just allowing you to have some OB support since CCB as a target is so odd at first.
That is all I was relaying. I had no intention for you to memorize tip positions as you indicated. I was a quarters person before cte and the info I gave you helped me to bridge the gap at first. This can work for a contact point person as well, or a GB person too until CCB becomes natural as a target.

I did not call you a liar but you can think ad you want. This is all unfortunate and it could have been resolved by phone or by additional email for clarification.

We all do the best we can with what we have at the time and that is what I did for you.

Thank you for using PRO ONE and I will offer you any additional support that you might request.

Jb you say you understand how cte works and that it is eefective. Why is this ''nonsense video'' called ''pivoting to ghost ball'' still in your youtube list? Most of your videos have nothing to do with cte. So what? Are you trying to be deceptive? I know of an instructor who posts here in this forum and has always been deceptive. I have bought his dvd and sent him lots of e-mails asking for his support. He answered every e-mail i have sent to him. But he never gave a single tip to help me improve my game. It is better to keep the ''secret knowledge'' for you and your family than trying to ''deceive''.

I know this instructor is ''deceptive''. He will never share his knowledge for free.

Jb i think you know nothing about cte. But i really like your cases.

The pivoting to ghostball video shows the motions of manual CTE with a known GB location. It is meant to show the simplicity of the motion and that shot line arrived at is pointing at the gb.

I was using the GB to reverse engineer the steps to illustrate them.

As for my knowledge of CTE it is quite basic which is why I only demonstrate what I do and accept instruction from those who know more. As well I refer the viewers to Stan often.

remember, "sticks and stones may break my...."

You accused me of deception and withholding info so I could entice you into personal lessons.

Not so! And I will stand up for myself. I do not have a history of deceiving people and I did NOT engage in that practice with you as you have suggested here in on 40,000 member forum.

I have nothing further that to say about this.

I would rather focus on post 79/80. This thread was derailed.

There's no need to defend yourself Stan, we all know the Truth about your character and integrity (and the Truth is what sets us free). One thing is certain, you're NOT making an impact unless there's people "throwing verbal stones at you." ...remember, "sticks and stones may break my...."

I don't like it when they say things like that about me, but I have to keep it in perspective (I'm grateful to have the opportunity to share my knowledge). Keep your focus Buddy, you have a gift for many players.

In this great Country EVERYONE has a right to their opinion and freedom of speech. For this to be True, we must all except the good with the "bad."

Keep doing what you're doing, Stan, you're wisdom will shine through. Like I told you in Tunica, don't expect everyone to understand (your technique) or "jump on board." There's people that couldn't understand the ocean if they were standing on the beach - Forgive them and move on, negative motivation is very powerful, use it to give you more desire to share the Truth, Stan.

These attacks are like shadows on a sunny day, they will always follow you around, just to hide from the "Light," and they are nothing but a "negative reflection" of the "Truth". :wink:

Thanks, CJ! I look forward to the time that we can spend a couple of days together at the table. It would be an amazing time.
I needed your positive comments! Lol
For the most part, I must say, AZ IS A LOT FUN!
I have been distracted from my editing work today, though.
I did get in about 3 hours after all.

Just because it is ccb does not mean that your subconscious did not make adjustments on the way down to land there.

Just for proof, and for practice.. I do the x drill siting my visuals.. Locking in two fixed edges on the cb.. I then rotate in to ccb and without ever looking back at the object ball pull the trigger to ccb and the ball goes.... Ccb is target, the visuals help you easily determine the true center of cueball for each and every shot! Don't worry 'bout it! :) :) :)
 
Who do you like in an all around pool match for $500, Straight Pool to 150, 9 Ball race to 11, and One Pocket 3 out of 5 - 30 Second Shot Clock - Pat 'Fidget' Johnson vs 'St. Louie' Lou?

I like Lou. I think Lou has the experience and a little bit better game overall. Fidget could surprise me though because despite all that moving when down on the shot he does actually pick the right line often and makes balls.

I am personally in kind of a three-way with these two having beaten Lou but been beaten by Pat. Of course this was in a little funsie tournament with super short races so it's ultimately meaningless.

Both of them can played by me though in the same format as you propose. Or I could just play the winner.

File all that under things that will never happen though.

Kudos2you!!!

The Cte line is a constant. As the distance increases, the secondary aiming line causes the player to move to maintain the CTE line and still visualize the secondary aiming line. This changes the angle of the shot.

This is a good example of a constant CTE line and moving the shooter's perspective/alignment to achieve the secondary aiming line.

Mike

This is the way I understand it too. Claims that the CTE line "rotates" (or whatever) just mean that the person making the claim is unaware of how the system works for him. I think this "self unawareness" is one of the ways these systems work for people who are unable to trust their "by feel" skills.

I'm really excited lately after having tried the CTE and TOI method(s). I've finally hit a breakthrough and I'm potting balls like crazy.
My thanks to all of you for posting this helpful aiming systems information.

Drawback,

I'm into TOI & am intrigued with CTE after some brief experiments.

Keep in mind that Mr. Shuffett does not really recommend TOI with CTE as CTE takes collision induced throw into account & using TOI with it would probably result in over cuts without a compensation.

However, if they are working together for you, so be it.

I just wanted to point this out in case you have trouble combining them.

The CTE line is changed by the user, so "rotating" around a sphere seems to fit. Over the years, I learned that I could set up with CTE and miss certain types of shots. I would check my alignment, but I would still miss.

I figured out that it wasn't the system, but rather my prespective of the shot. Through experience I trained my eyes to tell my body to move to a different angle to not miss the shot. When I was positioned correctly, I would reestablish my CTE visuals and show my brain where I should be. Reverse engineering for the aiming challenged. rolleye0009.gif

I would still see the CTEL and my secondary aiming line, but from a different perspective. My eyes were not seeing the shot and giving me an incorrect alignment. Small movements of the head and eyes can completely change the way we look at a shot with any aiming method. If this doesn't make sense, the next time you're (anybody) down on a shot, tilt your head slightly. You'll see a completely different angle.

Hi Mike,

You just gave me food for thouhgt. Last Thursday I missed a couple of stretched out reach shots on a 9 ft table that I felt I really put good strokes on. Normally I keep my eyes level but maybe in that extreme stretched out position, I may have tilted my head a bit.

Thanks & Best Regards to You &

I'm having most of my improvement around the TOI, but I've also noticed that lining up the edge of the ferrule and then pivoting has been a great help, too.

When you move to pick up the secondary line the cte line, in cte lingo, rotates slightly around object ball. This assures that we have the correct cte line, the outermost edge away from the pocket.
