Fear of Feel

"Center to Edge," "Edge to Center," or "Center to Center"

Yeah, Duckie, just shoot it like a basketball.

Can you imagine Michael Jordan talking about his "ghost ball" system for making baskets?

All games require instinct to aim, it's just based on a referential index.

In pool it's "Center to Edge," "Edge to Center," or "Center to Center" (from there you can pivot to the quarters or in a variety of other ways).....there's no great mystery, it's the same in golf, there's an point of alignment, and a point of aim (they are not the same, except two angles).
 
Sorry, I saw, and am responding, to your pithy responses out of order...

If you're specifically talking about the 5 shot example in Stan's video, it's been explained many times. Where? Well for starters, in the video, but also on these here forums.
Ok.
It reminds me of when I took AP Bio in high school. It certainly wasn't my strongest subject, but when a topic came along that I didn't understand (this happened often), I would do one of two things.

1. Study my ass off and apply myself.
2. Accept that it was over my head and move on.

Do you know what I wouldn't do? I wouldn't go running around telling everyone my teacher didn't know how to teach properly.
It almost sounds like you're saying you didn't ask your teacher any questions.
 
Neil, you're just flat out full of shit here. You show me one time where I came into an aiming thread and started throwing CTE into it, or ever mocked the system. Why would I mock something I was set to pay Stevie Moore twice his standard rate to have him stop by my house and give me a private lesson? The name's Danny Fera, contact him here or on FB and see if it isn't true. I'm positive he will remember me. Only now, because of your repeated rotten attempts to throw me under a bus I don't belong under, he probably won't want to do it, so thanks for that. :mad:

I came into this thread (for the record, a thread on "Feel" that was immediately turned into a CTE thread) with many posts that had nothing to do with aiming at all, just some observations about beliefs systems and the way many people address problem solving. I was attacked by both you and Dave Segal simply because you chose to take those comments personally, and to interpret my thoughts on these matters as anti-CTE digs.

Dave was relentless, trying to force me into making statements that he was obviously getting ready to knock down in his typical sophomoric, mocking way. I refused, and he went ahead and mocked me anyway, and he just would not let it go like the child he is. The only statement I made that could be construed as being even mildly anti-CTE was that it had inherent geometric gaps. Which is obvious just by looking at the diagrams, and even Stan has to admit that after he had a very bright mathematician tell him so (while also claimed that it worked anyway).

You are as creepy as they get, Neil. I can't imaging how much time it took for you to replace the content of thousands of individual posts with .......... , as if they were so important that you would be punishing this place by removing them. Talk about your full-blown case of narcissism. But what do you do now, Neil, you stalk CJ Wiley like a rabid panther, ready to call him out at every opportunity because you think he's a narcissist. Well, maybe he is, but he's a narcissist who once played at the highest level imaginable, while you're just some broke down, bitter old man who never was anything.

Mommy, mommy, mommy, blah, blah, blah. You are so full of it, your eyes must even be brown.
 
oookaayy... I'm just going on what we have to work with here.



Ok, purpose fulfilled. Now, how do I know when to stop 'rotating'?

Seriously, are you actually trying to learn it, or just looking for something else to nitpick? I really can't believe you don't know when to stop rotating when it was explained so clearly. ???
 
Yes, eventually, you will not be standing in the exact same relationship to the cb/ob, but you start Center-to-Center, as Stan says, and then 'rotate'

Well, again, as I read his words, you 'rotate' from the same setup to get to this new 'spot'.

Again, I don't see that wording in his instructions.

Stan says you 'rotate' to that different part of the ob/cb.

Here is a link to the exact transcript: Stan's video.

Again, according to Stan, your initial lineup is Center-to-Center, according to your "strongest visual alignment".

Well, that is the question. 'Then he shifts over'... How do I do that, when the same CTE/ETA lines are unchanging from the Center-to-Center starting point?

I could have started all 5 shots by looking at the left side pocket first or I could have looked at the doorknob on the right side of the room and then executed a 360 full body spin back to the left side pocket. From there, directly to the 15.....

Ok. If the answer to the question, "How do I know when to stop 'rotating'?", is what has been posted in the context of this exchange, then I have no more questions.

Thank you.

Rick,

I have already given a "red" to a friend who posts in this thread. And I am thinking that you are my next choice. What you and "cfrandy" post here shows negativity and nothing else. I don't think you are a bad guy, but I don't like what you are doing for the last 3 three days. It could be better if you stop posting like that for things you don't know.

I just wanted to say a public thank you for the private conversation.

Best Wishes,
Rick
 
I should add the "5 shots" you guys are all so concerned about... I can do on any size, style, manufacturer of table no problem.
 
I've only been playing for ten years. What's yours? Why don't you tell us more about these ghost tournaments that you win all of the time now, even though there seems to be no records to verify. I've got records that show improvement. That's more than anything ever put out by the cte followers. Can't even get a single person to give a data-driven testimonial after all of these years.

lol..............
 
What "updates"? Find one, genius. One single update that shows an apa player moving up or anything. Nothing but more deflection. Since you and spidey have been playing for so long and are expert cte masters, go ahead and rattle off your pro winnings first. I promise to read through the entire list in one day.

lol......................
 
This is the kind of relentless pursuit that I have found coming from most of the CTE proponents on this forum. It's really creepy, and smacks of the religious-type fanaticism I spoke of before.

STFU and let it go. I have my own opinion, it does not agree with yours, I am allowed to express it here until the mods let me know otherwise, and I have no burning compulsion to prove anything to you . Get an effen life, huh?

lol.......................

So would I be correct to assume that you are of the opinion that you are making all 5 shots from the same 'objective' visual line?

Or do you think that you're using a subjective perception of what would be that objective line to make each of them different as they actually need to be?

Best 2 You,
Rick

Rick, when you ask questions like that, you make it sound like you have absolutely no clue how to use CTE. But are only trolling for some bait to use for nitpicking some words.

Ok.

It almost sounds like you're saying you didn't ask your teacher any questions.

I can see how you would think that with the way I worded my example, but that wasn't the case. I did ask questions. I just didn't throw my teacher under the bus when I didn't like or understand their answer.
