A Curious CTE Diagram

Hi Stan, nice to see you posting again. I believe Freddie said he dissects each half of the ball with 7 vertical lines and chooses the one that will get him to the pocket with a pivot. I'm not going to bother contacting him about it but if he reads this maybe he will comment.
You should really get help with your obsession with Stan. Whatever Freddie did doesn’t matter here unless you want to change and talk about all of Hal’s systems. Very effective systems I might add
 
Don't take it personally - I'm trying to interpret the info for everybody here, especially less experienced players. I think we've (mostly) done that now - thanks for hanging in there with me.
No worries... my day had already tested my patience, and I appreciate yours.
The term "parallel" for cue adjustment/alignment has always confused me because when using side spin the cue is rarely parallel with anything.
Well I guess it really boils down to how the individual considers the steps and aiming corrections within their PSR.

When I finally reach the point that I'm going to perform the shot that contains side english. I have already performed a parallel shift from center CB to require CB contact point. Determined the amount of squirt I can expect based on that english/power of the shot. Now the new path the CB will travel based on squirt is compensated for to generate the necessary contact on the OB. So, now we can either say that I've angled the cue away from the "pre-squirt" (lol) aim line, or I'm placing the cue on a parallel path to the new "post-squirt" calc aim line. I personally think of it as the later. That said, and now that I read it. The last change in alignment I perform is closer to a pivot then anything else. Maybe that's what you were thinking. Can't argue with that take on it.

Regardless, BHE is different than a parallel shift to generate english. That's really the point I was focusing on in the beginning.
 
Always asking for info, never giving info.

Well it is Dan's conversation and he keeps talking about Deviations. Is it wrong to ask for more clarity on what he means or should i keep guessing about what's happening like you do.

It doesn't matter what the conversation is -- one look at your posting history shows you *never* provide *anything.*

I'm not so sure it's Stan -- there is a very feminine tilt to these posts which makes me lean towards Connie.

Can't prove it except for an ear that's been "listening" on the interweb for 30 years. But it's not Low.

Why don't you directly answer this from the other day. You thought I was wrong then explain why.

I explained myself.

Do you want me to post the pertinent pages, lol. Or, if you have the book, show me why and where I'm wrong.

I've been very civil -- I can go back an show where you have not ;-)

But now you're asking for an explanation... if I'm right, of what?

Lou Figueroa
ah, faced with facts, heading for the exit, lol.

what a surprise
20 minutes of my life wasted.

Dan if you want to talk more about your deviation obsession let me know.

wah, wah.

Don't you have a Instagram or Twitter account you can go cry on? How about Stan's FB clubhouse? I'm sure they'll all give you hug and a big fat wet one over there, lol.

OK, I see what you mean now - parallel does mean parallel with the intended CB direction, uncorrected for squirt. The parallel shift to the tip offset is new to me.

Now the new path the CB will travel based on squirt is compensated for to generate the necessary contact on the OB.
Yes, this is where I'd say you angle the cue nonparallel with the intended CB direction to correct for squirt.

Thanks for the details.

cookie man, er, Dave, I keep scrolling through your posting history and there's... nothing, I mean for pages and pages.

I mean, really nada of substance. Your whole thing, for what appears to be forever, is always demanding answers and questioning people without ever providing a shred of substance.

You have been a first class troll for years -- show me where I am wrong.

Yes, this is where I'd say you angle the cue to be corrected for squirt, nonparallel with the intended CB direction.

I'm always checking my cue action/stroke when down on the ball. I use my aim line to measure against my stroke mechanics. So after I correct for squirt I 'reset' my aim line to the corrected direction so my stroke mechanics have a new reference to compare to. That's why, in mind at least, I'm always parallel to the aim line. Even though I aware that I have angled away from the original uncorrected aim.

All of this sounds really complicated, but it's really simplistic in practice.
