Do you use an aiming system or go by feel?

More words of wisdom from our man Duckie.
Maybe it's just me but I see EDGES with these two SPHERES. Does anybody else see edges in this video because it's pretty much what you see on the table with two balls (spheres). Let me know if I'm wrong and need my vision corrected. I'll set an appointment this week.

Hard pertains to alot of things," hard head " comes to mind right now.
How can you use something that doesn't exist to aim with....the edge of a ball.....a sphere.

Just one of those pesky details.
If you do, it all done in your mind....ie subjective. This is also why it can never be proved geometrically. Cause in geometry, you can't use something that doesn't exist.
Did yall miss that day in class?
Oh another little pesky one is using the concept of hitting 1/2 ball and so on......can't be done in the real world, just another one of those subjective things that only can happen in the minds eye.

This is cool to post this,except we are talking about a center ball-center pocket aiming system.
Yet you use ghost ball. Can you draw us a picture of an invisible ball?
You know since I have someone on this site ignored I cannot see all of his posts directly. However when he is quoted I see some of his responses. I cannot help to wonder if CTE was developed and taught by CJ would someone we know be 'all in'?

I guess you don't see edges in these two spheres as they overlap:

It isn't my eyes that need checked, yours do.
I think Duckie should join the Flat Earth Society. He would fit right in.

A system or anything related to a new subject and skill to perform it takes conscious thought in the beginning until mastered. Then like everything else it becomes second nature with little to no thought.
As u know that is true for any new system u learn. Once you have internalized it you don't need to rely on conscious thought to perform it.
Keeping that part of your mind under control when down on a ball allows you to play great pool. IMHO.
Edit. Sorry spidey I did not see your post as I was typing mine with one fat finger.

I think Colonel is right.
When teaching how to throw a baseball for instance... I have seen people teach the mechanics on how to throw but I have never seen someone teach a system for aiming... only where to aim.

That thought is not exactly wrong
Well the word system in my opinion seems to have gotten a bad rep and what you are saying is not entirely wrong. It seems that systems that have a lot of rules and tweaks are a bit much for a lot of people and Ive tried to stay away from that and focus on simplicity.
People being who they are unless they are ready for help there isn't anything that is going to do them much good but there is another subset that wants things complicated or it isn't quite right, human nature is interesting to say the least.

That's why some here, I'd say most, rather like the anonymity of AZB.
There are a lot of immature irrational individuals out there & one never knows when one of them is going to go off the deep end.
As to the discussions, many are loose cannons in the regard that there 'argument' is all over the place with no continuity & chocked full of hypocrisy.
Best Wishes.
Where is the Sam Lambert video?

I & others do not really care much about any of that in any specific nature.
I & others want the assertion that CTE is a totally objective 'system' stopped &/or retracted &/or a qualifying disclaimer of some kind.
OR
A logical rational explanation as to the how can those 5 shots be pocketed as suggested without the use of subjectivity regarding the shot line based totally on the objective vision of the CTE & ETA line being seen simultaneously, since that line can ONLY be seen simultaneously ONLY from points along ONE specific line or perspective as someone likes to say.
In other words, how does CTE circumvent the laws of SCIENCE in that regard.
I will say it again.
If any individual wants to buy & try CTE then they should certainly do so but should know that the assertion that it is a totally objective 'system' has NOT been proven nor unproven.
Hence, knowing that...
Buy & Try Away.
I for one, am NOT trying to stop anyone from trying CTE as long as they know what it is they are going to try & hence will not be too disappointed if they do not find that for which they are looking.
I think that would actually helps Stan, as those that do get disappointed will not be able to say that they were misled.
Amazing how you could pull up something from another archive but it was TOO difficult to scroll through a couple of pages of this thread to locate my question.
Amazing!
Simply Amazing!.
Well not so much when one realizes that you're not being genuine here & mostly want 'entertainment' & opportunities for your advertisement to be seen as YOU yourself has stated.

Another excerpt taken out of context to distort what someone actually said in full & what they actually meant.
A tactic used rather extensively by CTE advocates.
