It's been stated by Dan & Myself numerous times. if you really want to know what it is you should go back & find it.

I've already wasted enough time restating it multiple times.

And as I've said, I don't expect any real answer form you.

You're here for your own purposes which is not the truth.

You've already said that you would not answer it for Dan. So why would you answer it for me?

AND as I just pointed out to another. Just giving a response does not mean that the question is answered.

Perhaps you should get up tomorrow & read this thread & put things in perspective.
Oh I see you one single important question can't be restated.

Thought so.

The big thing is ones initial perspective. Which comes from visual intelligence. That means if I put the ob one diamond from the left rail and one diamond from the side pocket, then put the cb in line with it one diamond from the end rail, I need some visual intelligence to know approximately where to stand to cut the ball in the far corner.
Neil, why wouldn't looking at the angle to the pocket be enough ???
Can't you tell by then where CB to OB baseline then pivot ?
 
I simply gave my own experience as my opening post in this thread. I guess you should not be in it either since you don't know how it works by your responses.

No John,

PJ, I , & others know how it does not & can not work.
 
Neil,

This a helpful explanation.

Perspective needs two eyes. Using both eyes, one can establish a centered line to an edge. If one can toggle between both eyes to make one and the other dominant, then the edge of the OB seems to move depending on which eye is made dominant forcing one to move his stance a bit to the left or right. Close one eye end then the other to experience this - I do.

This can create 3 positions center, a bit to the left or a bit to the right and result in 3 cut angles with "the same visual". I can do that though I am right eye dominant.

This may not be what you are proffering, but it works for me.

Thanks

Hi E,

And if you move slightly & do the same thing again you then have 3 more.

You Be & Stay Well.

What are you then pivoting from? The correct visuals are what give you the proper place to pivot from to get on the shot line.
 
No John,

PJ, I , & others know how it does not & can not work.

You know exactly how and why it does not and can not work, yet you have no idea what the proper steps are to use it correctly. Nor can you give a detailed explanation of exactly what doesn't work as described nor why it doesn't work as described. Must be that omniscient thing you always talk about. :confused:

Slightly?? hmmm, would like to see someone do that and still get the visuals. Oh, wait, sorry, forgot I was talking to someone with no clue what the steps even are to using CTE. :eek:

True that.

I don't even have to pivot to do it. I just have to study the locations of the CB and OB in relation to the pocket/target and recall that visual and the initial alignment that is needed using fractions on the OB using the CCB or ECB or both using one or the other eye or both..

Be well

In this thread alone, it's been asked numerous times by Dan & numerous times by me & even suggestively asked by others & you've talked around it every time.

If you know CTE as well as you say you do then you know what it is.

You're just playing games.

I've made my statements & asked the pertinent questions & everyone has seen them talked around by every CTEer except Neil's ridiculous response.

No need for me to take the time to do it again.

How many times have you and others said it's all out there go look it up yourself. Well, if you want it it's here in the later pages of this very thread.

You don't really want it, if you do it's here for you to get it.

Shouldn't be hard to repeat this single important question.

Geno suggested that I use a different eye for different directions of cut but I was having trouble with one so I now just try to see it with the one that sees a true straight line while standing above & also when down, which a bit unfortunately is my left eye. The right eye is faulty when tall, but once down I can use both or either or.

Once when I was first switching, I was down on a shot & the image I got was indescribable. I just did not do anything & stroked it & made it, but I did not even see it go in.

U Stay Well, E

Should't be difficult for you to find it.

DO you realize the word 'hard' pertains to things like granite & not jello?

Why don't you go play with your daughters, John.

No all that to say traditional aiming methods have been the gold standard of foundation since the beginning of time we learn those solid foundations first then if we choose to seek a asset aside from those we have the foundation that's proven to check it against

Well I certainly don't agree that any aiming method was the gold standard. Gb is just easiest to put in books.

Other aiming methods have existed for a hundred years. Just gb was used in the popular catch-all instruction books.

Sorry wading through it all is too difficult. I guess writing a one sentence question is too much to ask of you.

It was YOU that brought your personal life into this 'public' realm way back when. That's how I know that part of it, From YOU.

All I did was to suggest that you go play with your family instead of playing around with me.

I'm not IN your personal life.

Well then I guess you don't really want to keep your promise to Mr. Houle.

If it's too difficult for you to scroll & read a few of my posts or Dan's than the question is way too difficult for you to be able to answer.

I have kept my promise and will continue to do so. Gave a live lesson earlier.

Debating here is just entertainment. In the pool room and on YouTube is where I reach people serious about improving who are not poisoned by the small group of knockers here.

I don't care what your question is, it is not significant or important. But that you won't write it again is.
