If I aim for center pocket then add the same amount of tip offset as you do, I have to adjust my aim thicker by the same amount as you to compensate for squirt. What's the difference in where we end up?

I admit I'm not versed on the fine points of TOI, but I never understood how you can put a touch of inside english on the ball and say "TOI ain't english." The "Inside" of TOI means you are hitting off center from the vertical center axis. How is this not english? I understand that you are not looking for the english part to make TOI work. You are looking for the cue ball to squirt in order to thin the angle (what you call deflection)... but you still have a little inside english on the ball.
If it's that good, why not use it all the time? Do you smack yourself upside the head when you miss a ball that poolology could have made or just reach into the wallet and pay the guy.
I didn't see CTE mentioned in his post.
I'm guessing if you were hounded for 20 some years by unsubstantiated hate then you would certainly block comments on your youtube account.
But you don't stop from getting in a low blow here and there do you.
Things are systematic whether you learn them first try or not. Systems are everywhere. If the smart kid in class gets it right away but the dumb kid doesn't, that doesn't make it any less of a system, it's still a taught system regardless of how many tries it takes.
Cookie. I know you are not that much of an imbecile to keep saying the bold over and over without already knowing the answer. You seem to be the one trying to stir the pot.
Really. Really Stir the pot. I'm nowhere near good enough at that to keep up with you guys. I asked the poster a simple question not you. Go away and finish reading.
There are over a billion YouTube accounts. Which single one do you assume I'm talking about? Lol. There are thousands, if not millions, that block comments and either hide their subscriber count or falsify it with software. Either way, it's usually done to make you channel look more popular than it really is. I would never block comments for any reason. There's always aholes that want to leave crap comments, but they are such a minority it doesn't matter. I guess if the majority of comments are bad or negative, an account owner might want to disable the comment option though.
The best answer is to try it on the table and find out for yourself. Armchair quarterbacking will only get you part of the answer. Watch CJ play and read his posts here about the stroke he uses for TOI.
Some thinhs are systematic, some things aren't. Take two people of equal intelligence and learning ability. You could show them how to do something that takes no experience, something very objective that requires zero learned skill, and each will perform the task just as well as you. Now show them something you're good at because you've done it for years and had to develop the skills needed to do it properly. They will each have to work on this for quite some time before they can do it well. Maybe one won't work as hard and it'll take him longer to get it, if ever. Their success is subjective based on their individually developed experience, what they're willing to put into it. That's subjective learning, system or not.
Yep - the usual system-speak for "I don't understand the question."

You 'favor' the inside of the ball. The amount is very small, around 1/16 tip I believe, not sure. By favoring one side of the ball instead of trying to hit dead center, some people find it easier to use TOI. You should take it to the table and add the 'TOI stroke' to your arsenal. You won't learn any younger.
Yup, same old I won't try it. If you're too lazy to develop your TOI stroke, you'll never know. Your geometry is good but your expertise is lacking.

Yes it does have it's own stroke technique. If you had read a little about it you would have known that. I know it's tough to keep up with all the different systems but you should educate yourself about TOI before you make baseless claims about it. Tip offset + stroke technique = thinner cut. Pretty simple to use if you try it out for a while.
C'mon dude, he makes baseless claims about almost every aiming tehnique or system that isn't ghostball, parallel aiming, double the distance and poolology, he can't possibly learn and try them all at the table first, that could take weeks, oh wait....
And now he'll say that there is no need, he already tried them in his head, which is a lot better than at the table, and they didn't work, so shame on you!!!
And now let's play grown-ups for a second, why do we have to do this same shit every now and then?
Does anyone still get an errection out of this?
Because I don't any more so can we stop it already?
Yeah, I know. We can't.
Happy 8th of March because you all act like woman, if men don't agree with something they don't argue about it for years.
You should make the effort to understand the “claim” before calling it baseless. The same old “you have to try it” refrain makes it pretty obvious you don’t (and is way too familiar here in the Magical Aiming Forum).
Demonstrate something more than “system bias” and your system might be taken more seriously.

Excellent observation. Lol.
