I’d also like to know if you have thousands of people having success with this jelly bean method or is it just you having success playing pocket pool with it.
CTE automatically corrects stroke issues

From your lips to Gods ears.
All these “aimers” who can’t hit the CB where they intend are now preaching that their aim will fix broken (or lack of fundamentals).
I’m glad they are playing pool, and they can believe what they like. I’m not going to try and change their minds. Nor can they change my mind.

I'm glad he puts up the videos as they are. It's no knock on CTE, for all I know, CTE helps him a great deal and he could have missed many more shots without it. The point is, that they are real and give an accurate representation of his skill, and maybe what a lot of people can expect to achieve. I'm aware that talking/demonstrating does take away from your performance a bit, as well, but that is real too. Most people don't realize how hard you have to try to play well, they think pros just shoot without looking. What I dislike are demonstration videos with chalkmarks or chalk traces in the cloth, indicating that there have been dozens of attempts before. That is fakery, designed to make people believe that they will hit center pocket every time, they don't even have to work on their mechanics, because the system will magically fix their mechanics and compensate for all table and ball factors. That to me is way, way worse.
The problem is that people are stupid and lazy. They want to become great with no effort at all and they ignore all evidence to the contrary of their belief that this is possible. They want something fairly uncomplicated, too. Realistically, with the time and effort most people are willing and able to put in, they are at best going to be "ok". But you can't sell videos, systems and books titled "how to be an ok poolplayer". You definitely can't sell books that accurately describe all the work you need to put in in different areas to be an actual GREAT player. So, if you're going to sell, you need a title like "the 5 minute pool pro" or similar. So you rehearse 5 billion times to get a perfect and effortless looking demonstration, or get an allready great player to do the demonstrations in the videos, and presto: you've got a best-seller (or whatever the pool world equivalent to that would be?) You can see the same phenomenon in almost every human activity, but particularly sports. Luckily I've never seen "the 5 minute heart surgeon" or "3 easy steps to become an engineer overnight". Had there not been very strict rules in place to ensure proper qualifications, those books would no doubt have existed.

Lmao. Well, he, has no clue concerning anything CTE so how in the hell could I possibly agree.
You only say this because he's not preaching your sermon.
To say Dan doesn't get it or the rest of us don't shows a lack of intelligence.
If we really didn't get it, and most of here if not all. have got a good understanding on how aiming works.
Beginners clear up to very advanced players just wouldn't understand it according to your logic and most of cte users...really..lol
Not seeing it's just another fractional reference system shows that CTE users themselves "get" that obvious fact least of all.To say Dan doesn't get it or the rest of us don't shows a lack of intelligence.
I think that denial is how it works for them.

No. I’ve asked Dan specific questions about CTE and all he can do is quote other CTE users for the answers. Shows he had no understanding clearly.You only say this because he's not preaching your sermon.

Is that all you have “I think” lmao.
“I think” is not the same as “I know”
Be thankful that there are people willing to experiment and help others. Otherwise none of you would have anything to ridicule. If you want to do a shot making contest on 4" pockets I have some people willing to accomodate you for big $$$.Be thankful there's a margin of error in the pocket.(we should all be thankful) you'd see the truth in everything.
Again, you can't control everything that's happening in the collision, many factors come into play. I'm alright with believing otherwise.
If you can communicate a method to someone else and produce the same results then the method likely works. How well it works is the question.
That’s what I keep saying, but you guys just never try it. You just keep saying “I think”
9 hours and you were a whole 3 games ahead. I GAVE you most of the games you won. You didn't EARN them. And you're scared to ever play again. Oh sure played for fun. You were a huge effing ASSHOLE on RSB, far more than you are here, because of rules. So don't act like that match wasn't meaningful. And don't brag about the 10k, you got 2k of it. Your backer had to drag you off the porch to play after you ducked me 3x. You would have NEVER played had you not been goaded into it with the promise of a team to jack with me online during the lead up.
Only a coward wins and won't play again. And you're a coward. In addition to being a huge liar you are a craven coward who is unwelcome in pool rooms all around you because of your nittiness. You are such a liar that in one post you insinuate that you are so good you had to slow play to keep it interesting and claim I really had no chance and when I point it out that makes you a thief you then backtrack and try to downplay your boasting. Fact is that I stepped up to a hundred ball runner and played. Outside of $600 that two of my friends took of the bet I had the rest of the $10,000. You didn't bet a single dollar on yourself and it was ONLY in the last three days before the match where you tried to screw with me by offering to triple the bet. You're lucky that I played at all. I wanted to tell you to screw off and give you the 3k stake and then make you watch while I played other people on the stream after that "move" on your part. You were so odious to deal with after I went out of my way to make everything right and courteous.
You're the worst "winner" on earth imo. An example of a spineless coward who won a match that he had to be dragged into and who won't play a rematch. No wonder your well-known nittiness and lack of character are so well known among those around you.
Anyway, the game score between us is 10-8. Clearly you hate it that I beat you. I would beat you again if we were to ever play again but your tiny trembling heart won't allow you to do that. It burns you up that you don't have what it takes to win if I don't sell out games. When you look in the mirror the truth that you're just not as good as you pretend to be stares back at you. I know where I stand in the skills department and have zero illusion that I am supposed to win against you. But what I do have is tremendous heart. And that heart with some disciplined practice is likely to be all I need to win against a spineless coward.
By the way since you want to CONTINUE talking about this 8 years later. I will be reporting to the IRS that you received $10,000 from me. You can correct your tax returns accordingly. You can tell them what the exact division of the money was. You are correct that the match that counted was the won where I lost $10,000 and you gained $10,000. As honest as you are I am sure you reported that income on your taxes.
Remember that ALL of this started with your decision to ridicule someone who was merely excited about learning something new. You and a few others here are truly awful human beings and you constantly compete for which of you is worse.
And despite all of your pitiful efforts Center to Edge aiming is getting bigger by the day. You got lucky that a CTE cheerleader didn't prepare well enough and you're smart enough not to let him try again. So, take the 10k "tip" your group's unethical actions earned you and ride out your "victory" forever as it is clearly the biggest win of your otherwise unremarkable life. Would you like me to engrave Lou beat John on the trophy? Your missed shots and your comments will be highlighted in the upcoming videos. You are about to reap ALL that you have earned with your actions. Your name won't be mentioned as I just plan to use you as an example of a middle aged player who isn't as good as he could be.
So you want to be intertwined with me forever by not honoring your word then I will grant your wish.
Got it Master Lou?
You pr
I bet you do...your awesome.
I think he gets it( we all do, just how there's no adjustments for all those shots) but what he's really trying to do is help you with how you're doing it.
No, that's not it. I have a curiosity for myself because I like to play pool and I like to understand what works and why. But what works is more important than why because the REASON I play pool is to run out and win.
And - god effing effing SIGH - the user IS using CTE. ONCE again your whole effing point is that there must be "some kind of SUBCONSCIOUS adjustment" for CTE to work. So, EVEN IF YOU ARE RIGHT, it is the shooter's USAGE OF THE CTE METHOD THAT GETS THEM THERE.
So, the point is that IF you're right and the makes are BECAUSE of the subconscious then the what is the reason for the misses? See how your contention breaks down when you consider the inverse? You never ever count the misses as a result of the subconscious but instead continue to attribute them to the system not being valid.
Once again we go back to the CONTEXT. Something you deliberately and maliciously ignore. You don't count the makes. You don't have any DATA on the shots made and missed over the course of all of my videos. You seize on ONE sequence of shots where I was setting up a difficult shot on an unlevel table in a casual manner. You don't say well John is a single person let's see how others are doing with it. You DELIBERATELY IGNORE every person who demonstrates extremely accurate shotmaking OR you dismiss the demonstration as the result of having already been good players - insinuating that the players are either deliberately misleading or are themselves delusional.
Gee, thanks for the OBVIOUS comment on how logic works. Now comment on the OBVIOUS examples of cherry picking to advance your argument. Your "reasoning" only works when you choose to ACT ethically and analyze ALL of the available data.
Damn right I am.
LOL, help......that's hilarious. Nothing you or other knockers do is aimed at helping anyone. You even use objective aiming and yet you make yourself subservient to those who reject the objectivity in the methods. Because of objective aiming you have achieved a decent level and yet you make yourself into a tool for those who would rather that all such aiming systems go away.I think he gets it( we all do, just how there's no adjustments for all those shots) but what he's really trying to do is help you with how you're doing it.
If ANY of you were willing to help then you would have taken me up on the many times I offered to fund get togethers to work it all out on the table. But ridicule and insult are far easier than actually making any real effort to bring disparate opinions on technique into agreement. I have finally come to the realization that many of you thrive on this conflict. I don't. I want harmony but not at the expense of bowing to bullies.
