Isn't it?

You're another who falls into that category, mr 'quite good' pool player lol.

Obviously because he's persecuted by trolls. Wait 30 seconds and he'll tell you all about it (again).

How can one can tell where the cue ball is going after contact with the OB without visualizing that collision?
And when dealing with spin, you have to visualize how much that object ball throw will be . Like aiming at outside of the pocket, maybe?
Why does every thread that "ENGLISH!" participates in result in multiple arguments that have nothing to do with pool?
EDIT: He is a troll right?
Wow, this blew out way out of proportion.
I skipped a lot of the debate part, since to be honest it kinda bored me, but I think I'm gonna spend some more time with CTE this month and see how I feel about it. Should be relatively easy to see if it helps me more than only practicing by feel.
I know the shots that are hard for me, I'll try getting a good grasp of CTE and see if I become more confident with those shots.
For those still interested, I will most likely upload my first video either today or monday. I wish it would have been this weekend but I have 2 tournaments, one saturday and one sunday so I am a little out of time..
5 yrs? You dont have time for cte imo.
Does CTE take that long to get used to?
ALL aiming systems are a dirivitive of, or just another "method" to get you to The Ghost Ball contact point. All other factors from spin, to speed, to cloth, to cue, to stroke, ALL affect what happens after. You can tell people how those factors affect the shot but it takes a L O N G time to get the "FEEL" of using them. The ONLY system" or whatever you want to call it that will teach you that is TIME.
I fall into the large category of those who mostly ignore your content-free posts.You're another who falls into that category...
So you still think the ctel is the same for each shot right.
I recommend also (instead?) trying simple fractional aiming without the added gimmicks of "visuals" and "pivoting" (just adjust thicker or thinner as needed). Things will be much more clear if you don't need to disguise the adjustments.

Lol.

No Cookie,
I"m not going to go over it again. I understand that there is a different line for each shot.
You need to read my qualifying statements.
The question is how does one arrive at those correct shot lines.
The answer is through their own subjective analysis & determinations.
There is nothing objective about CTE that gets one to those exact lines.
It may get one closer to them than other methods but it can not get them there for ALL of the shots as there are ONLY a limited amount of' objective keys.
'Move until you see the proper perception for the shot' is NOT objective. Perception is NOT objective.
Please disregard ALL of the above except the part where I answer your question with NO, as I said I was not going to go into again.
What happened to our recent civil PMs & understanding that we are not going to agree & you are not going to convince me & I am not going to convince you?
Sam,
Imo you need to use a basic aiming system... a proven system that works... just like every good player who "uses" cte did when they started out before they started selling cte lessons.
Use whatever system you decide on and then adjust for your misses until you get a feel for how to line up your shots without much thought.
The more I hear about it, the more I think CTE is like a cult where it's users won't admit it's actually kinda bad.
I'm kinda torn and I think the best way to know for sure is to try it and see for myself.
