What are we...
Children? "Do it my way! No! My way!" LOL
If someone doesn't believe what I say to be true then I don't need to force my beliefs or opinion upon them. I don't teach anyone anything unless they are receptive to my ideas. I may express myself but its a case of "when the student is ready the teacher will appear"
We don't need to validate ourselves as good players (although its entertaining to watch) or good shot makers. That's for ourselves to know. I could care less if no one else learns CTE bc that's just one edge that I BELIEVE helps me be better. He may have something he believes to be superior, does that mean that I'm gonna jump all over his method? Noooo.
All my fellow CTE'rs please take a moment to think about the situation you're being dragged into. It's an argument that u can never win. You can only live by being an example of what u represent.
A beautiful plant does not tell every onlooker that its beautiful. It only takes in water, sunlight, and soil and is what it is. It's the onlooker that makes the decision not the plant.
If someone doesn't know me and doesn't know that I use CTE sees me making more than the average pool player they may think "wow he's a good shot maker, how did u get good at that?"
As opposed to me walking in the room not taking a shot and saying CTE is the best way to make shots. Then start shooting.
I retract one of previous statements here. I do want ppl to learn CTE bc I believe it can help some ppl become better shot makers. Anything that promotes the betterment of our sport should be welcomed but that's for the player to decide not me.
Math, geometry, & physics are all a part of pool. They represent the game on paper or on a video game perfectly. But the game is physical as well. We are not programs or equations. We are people.
While Math and Science may explain what is happening. It's the physical that's performing the action.
