So anyone can run over 100 huh

How did CTE fair at the Chet Itow Open? Haven't seen anything about that. I did see CTE in action there and OMG , they actually missed a shot......More than one ......

The player had to go two rail once for a safety. Has there been a demo video posted showing how to do this usinf CTE or was some other method used for this 2 rail?

Point is.......it ain't the system.......but the player.

A system designed to pocket a ball wouldnt be used to kick at a shot.
I agree its the player not the system.Time put in is what really matters at the end of the day.

Duckie, that includes Ghost Ball too.

Greg,

No offense meant, but how do you or any one shoot a two(2) rail safety utilizing Ghost Ball? Are you simply trying to say that because the target is not a pocket that CTE is not applicable?
 
He continually fails to realize that cte is used for pocketing balls. Not kicking at them.

Oh and if he wants to have a kicking challenge he can bet it up. I'll even spot him the arrow.

With my own experience with CTE I can confidently say it is superior to ghost-ball. And I'm no stranger to ghost-ball, it's what I came from. I think that anyone else that has taken the time to become proficient with CTE will invariably agree. There are also plenty of folks that have merely tried it and come to the conclusion that it doesn't work, or not for them. To each their own. I think that is the crux if the silly arguments that go around and around in the aiming threads. "Oh my gosh! You can't say it's better, there is no proof!", blah blah.

However, none of the above equates to "CTE is a magic bullet" or "You can't miss using CTE". No one ever said or implied this. But duckie twists it into his own ignorant argument. The videos don't imply that you can't do the same with ghost-ball. Obviously people can. CTE gives you an objective system for the ball pocketing portion of the game. CTE may not improve your kicking ability directly, but improvement in ball pocketing is (IMHO) a good foundation for improvement in other areas of your game.
 
Biusness as usual here. What is so difficult to see that someone has success with sthg? Or maybe just success in putting parts from different systems together?

And about duckie. I just ve seen these small vids from about 10secs from him......well-with these poor mechanics he ll for sure not have a repeatable good result with any known system.
Just my 2 cents.

Greg,

How long have you been playing?

I know he does not really respond in his own threads, so does anyone else know how long he has been playing?

Well he joined in 2005 so at least 8 years. Tack on a couple years assuming he didn't learn about AZ when he first started playing pool. I would say a decade minimum. I doubt he will even respond to that question though. He is very selective as to what he responds to after opening cans of worms.

He must feel invincible here. He can't get away with his antics at the pool hall :D
 
Here is another example of my belief of that it is the person and not the system.

I'll use something that alot of people do.....drive. A car is made up of sub systems, one of those being the brakes.

I'll use me and me wife as examples. She been driving 35+ plus years and me 40+ years. I'll use our 02 Mustang GT as the car.

Here is where its the driver (player) and not the car( system) comes into play.

I can use the brakes in ways she isn't even aware of. I can use the brakes to rotate a car during cornerng. Rotating a car is not the same as turning a car.

I can be hauling ass into a corner and wait and wait and wait before I brake because I know what the limits of the brakes are. She is clueless about late braking and how to do it.

I can brake equally well using either of my feet. Since the car is a auto, I left brake all the time. Being able to left brake makes more a smooth application of the brakes when cornering. In some turns, I can use my left foot to brake and slow down and never lift the throttle.

In some, I can brake, lift the gas, at the apex, get back on the gas before I start to release the brakes.

No way at this time, the wife can do this. Same car, long time drive and yet I can get more out of the same car than she can.

Now, as another example, daughters boyfriend got a 02 Mustang GT Manual. He talked me into driving it one day. This was the day I introduced him the what his car could really do.

There is a nice twisty road nearby and that is where I headed. Once we got to the twisty parts, I put my foot into it. After about the third turn, He utter "Damn, I didn't know my car could do this!!!!!!" The more he laughed, the faster I went.

A few turns, I gave showed him the concept of Heel/Toe driving and how this gets you into and out of turn fast.

Same car, different drivers, one making the car do things the other can not.

Maybe it is my racing motorcycles and the Skip Barber Racing School that played a part in my driving skills. Maybe it is seeing how one racer goes faster than another on the same type of bike. OR maybe seeing a known fast guy take a bike and lay down lap times faster then the owner of the bike.

Same bike, one rider goes faster than another.

These are just a sample examples that illustrate human performance plays a outcome of the results of what we do.

For example, in pool, its not the system (car) it is the player (driver).
 
That's great, you essentially encouraged your Daughter's BF to drive more reckless when taking her out on a date. You're a real Rocket Scientist.

HOLD ON A JUST A SECOND!!

You constantly get on CJ and other's cases about comparing pool to golf or shooting a rifle. When in reality, pool actually has quite a bit in common with both, especially golf.

THEN...

you have the nerve to compare pool to driving a car?

Wow!
