CTE for Top USA pros

Teacherman said:
Its VERY CLEAR....that you don't teach much.

I teach baseball/softball hitting. I have several professional clients who had career years after working with me and I have several college clients as well as many high school and youth dad/son teams. I can say the same exact words to 4 different players, at the same time, and I can get 4 completely different demonstrations of what I just said. The different interpretations of what seems to be simple obvious instruction will amaze you.....if you teach.

There is no substitute for hands on, in person instruction.

I hear you as I've coached too. I've told the story of a Big athletic middle school boy that just had no pop when hitting the ball. I knew the problem & tried & tried to talk him through it & show him. I finally had to get in the cage & hold the bat as the ball was thrown. He hit the ball over the center field fence & turned back to me with what was probably the biggest smile I have ever seen & I've seen plenty. He came to be a good hitter & contributed much to us winning the Metropolitan Middle School Championship. That was my 1st. year as Manager after being the pitching & hitting coach for 4 yrs. at the school.

Best Wishes.

And Stevie needs the 7 ball from his pre CTE self. He's not even close to the player he was before.

You are likely the only one that thinks that because the ones that Stevie played even before CTE are not going to be offering the 7.
Get a game stirred up with the 7 that you think he now could easily get.

If you are right you can prolly make big money but I think your comments are just good talk.

I have perfected the "straight in aiming method".

--> If the shot is straight in, aim for the center of the object ball. For all other shots, make a slight adjustment to your aim.


Works every time !

Now that makes sense to me.:)

You should round up some pros to verify it.

I thought I was the only one lol. I got up to the manual pivot but the "pro one" body shift into position I didn't get. I only got the first DVD. Maybe it was explained better on the SECOND DVD??

I only bought the second DVD. Maybe if we put our heads together we can figure it out :rolleyes::rolleyes:
 
Keep up the great work Stan, I received your DVD last week and I just like your work!

This is all just trash talk like there is too many on any forums!
 
I am having trouble with this shot. Can CTE help?

I kind of get the feeling that part of the reason people like to slam Stan is because he charges money for his products. It almost seems like some are offended because they cant get all of the information they want for free. Just an observation.:)
 
Snore. Another aiming thread goes on and on with questions like "How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?" This whole thread belongs in the aiming section not the main forum. That way some of us can ignore it.

No, it's because cte people have been making unproven claims for years. Still continues to this day. Dvds, books, in-person lessons, thousands of hours of make-believe internet statements, yet can't provide a single bit of solid evidence to back up the claims. Funny how that works.. making claims of mathematical correctness without having any math, among other things.

The other reason is because they found out they actually have to do some real work with it on the table. And, the most vocal against it don't and won't do that. They are looking for some kind of magic pill to make them a champion so they don't have to work at it. And when they found out it wasn't a magic pill, they felt like they got scammed.

The "trick" if there is one to learning CTE is simply that one has to know how to follow directions given. Sadly, there are those that refuse to do that or are not capable of doing that. They think they know it all, and don't have to have explicit directions. So, they skip steps and then claim it doesn't work.

Except that no matter what, "you aren't doing it right" is why people miss. The system that connects to the geometry of the table can't prove that it connects to the table and therefore no matter what is said, the response is just some nonsense about the user being wrong, not that they should start providing evidence behind those claims either. I mean, why start with facts this late in the game.

Excellent Mr. Shuffett.
I am glad to see you back here again and giving it back to these knockers just like they dish it out to you.
I was, for many years, a pretty good shortstop, but after a year of studying and working with your CTE method, my game has jumped way up.
It had me so confused at first that I thought I'd NEVER grasp what was being taught. I am a slow learner, but once I catch on, look out....I'm off and running.
I think what these knockers miss is that just because the shooter can find a lead pipe cinch to the shot line with CTE does NOT mean he will hit that spot every time when shooting. He will still miss due to various other things, stance, a poor hit, etc. etc. and most of all (for me) pure laziness in doing the steps required. A result of getting just a little too cocky with the knowledge and hurrying things.
I have a standard process wherein once I get down on the shot it takes me exactly 5 seconds for my brain to complete processing the information (I count this off mentally and then I pull the trigger.) If I take that 5 seconds, most of the time the ball goes in the pocket although being human, they don't go in also.
With CTE, I'd guess I've got about a 80% overall "make the shot" success rating. That drops to about 50% with those long ones where he has you wedged on the rail, or in the pocket opening, and that money ball is wayyyy down there at the other end at a 45degree perception. As far as 'pooching' a 15 or 30 degree...well that just ain't gonna' happen anymore unless there's a blunder with too much spin or velocity of hit.
I am very grateful for your revealing the CTE method for the aiming aspect of the game.
It's nice to know that after the shot, whether or not it succeeds or fails, that at least you started out being dead on that shot line without ANY GUESSWORK.

So, you were a good shortstop until you discovered CTE, then you became a lot better. A lot better than shortstop is pro.

This is the sort of testimony we need to see more of if we are to become believers. Seeing is believing, so they say, so it would be great to see video of you playing as both shortstop, and now as pro speed, so we can see the improvement. Do you have that?
 
I just don't get it....no siree. I shoot with T.O.I. When I miss it's because I apply too much deflection or not enough deflection. On my occasional center ball hits, when I miss, it's because I apply unintentional deflection. I'm absolutely sure of it. I'm referring to shots with a 30 degree cut or less. When I get acquire a complete mastery of controlling deflection, I'll start worrying about shots with more than a thirty degree cut and look Into aiming systems.

I play hockey. I'm fully awareI that hockey talent is doled out to individuals in varying degrees. I see it close up. So I'm wondering if maybe I have some talent when it comes to aiming. I really don't think so.

I think those who use aiming systems for cuts of 30 degrees or less just don't want to admit to themselves that reason they missed is because they appliied wayward deflection, or maybe even swerve.

.......Sorry.....I come in peace........really!......and hey! .....I've been wrong before!

IMHO, the "work" you must do, is make a final adjustment based on "feel", which is what everyone does anyway, so why have a "system" at all, when all systems require a "feel" adjustment at the end. (might as well, just play by feel)

That may be your opinion, but that doesn't make your opinion correct.
