A Curious CTE Diagram

[JoeyInCali]

Missed what lesson? Tyler taught this to me two years before the book came out.

Landon and Tyler both are expert users who can do every method of cte and they use whatever version they prefer.

Would you be comfortable talking shit to either of them directly they way you talk shit about them and cte users on here?

Do you see them with a tilted head ?
Get a clue

And yet you never say anything to prove otherwise

In fact you can’t make two balls using CTE so how much are we supposed to think that you know?

You wouldn't, either, if you were doing it right.

I'm watching Styer against Morra now. No BULLSH8 head tilting.
He lines up the shot then goes down straight.
No bs pivots.

Pro X shoots Y way. If Pro X puts out a book with detailed information on how they shoot, is that a bad thing, even if it doesn't work for Player Z? I don't think so. In Pro X's mind this is the best way, and is workable for some players if they put the time in. Is it worth pursuing? Only Player Z knows this for sure. I'm pretty sure every pool author ever that tries to teach their method is guilty of this. The real proof is if it works for some people, not all people or every style player there is. Some players will be like ducks to water to method Y, others will not. The method may never work for Player Z, but it might be the cat's meow for Player W.

I see the potential but at this point I'd rather put work into fundamentals than learning an exotic aiming system. I've missed more shots in my pool "career" from bad fundamentals or speed control than from faulty aim.

Well sure -- it's been done since Mosconi's red and blue books.

But Pro1 has been marketed, here, as *the way.* The one true path. So it has to be evaluated at a higher level of scrutiny because of the claims by those who subscribe to the value of the system.

Landon and Styer mush have missed the lesson.

Or you just might not know what to look for

 

[lfigueroa]

Just about everything you’ve said justifies my opinion on your postings. You haven’t posted any new info from the book at all.

Please tell me what was incorrect about the head tilt explanation I provided.

That’s correct. CTE in its final form.

I don’t feel like researching your posts but as I remember you called it a gimp move or something like that. The head tilt is virtually unnoticeable when done by an experienced user. Very natural actually

I don't recall saying anything like that so without a willingness to show me I would have to say you are wrong.

SS is recommending a head tilt. I'd guess most players don't do this. So if they don't, it would be unnatural for them to do so.

Not per SS book, which I thought was the final word.

Or you're drinking the Kool aid.

Hey Lou, you need to learn the disguised head tilt like Styer.

At least I don’t drink the sour Kool aid

t may be a tad unnatural at first but most things are when learning something new

Well that's just silly.

Well, that would take several hundred pages and over six pounds, lol.

Just what I and others have thought all along.

No I never said that. Reread the post I replied to. A missed shot from a CTE user could easily be from a miscalculation. That would be the obvious reason if your stroke is straight

Sorry my bad... was leafing through various posts on my phone and most likely mislead myself.
