A Few CTE Questions

This is all meaningless bullshit.
Meaningless bullshit? Not hardly! You either KNOW how to line up those two shots using CTE PRO1 and can perform it or
YOU DON'T! Instructions on HOW to do it takes between 8-10 words! If you CAN'T or DON'T have the knowledge to verbalize it, then you CAN'T DO IT properly. If you CAN'T do either of the above, then all of you need to shut your FRIGGING mouths already! And that's no BULLSHIT!!

It certainly is popular and discussed positively over on FB for thousands of pool players. Do you know why? Because YOU aren't there along with the ever present 7 LEMMINGS who follow you and act as an echo.

NO, NO, NO!! YOU are the Ambassador to AzB. And here's ONE OF THE POSTS made by you in the 1990's which has infected your brain ever since. Almost EVERY DAY of EVERY WEEK of EVERY MONTH of EVERY YEAR since then.

HAL POSTED:

This is the biggest crock of transcendental pool bull I've ever heard. Even
worse than I imagined. Is this really the line (including hook and sinker) you
Houle Pool suckers... er, students are buying? Does he do seances, too? Can he
channel Efren through me for the Chicago RSB Shootout?

You know, if you count up your fingers and toes and subtract the number of tries
it took to get it right, that leaves sixteen... exactly the number of balls in
pool! Weird, huh? You don't think that's an accident, do you?

So you divided a rectangle into a few parts. What did that have to do with anything?

Are we waiting for Tom Hanks in another terrible movie to explain how the extra dimensions in a system that wasn't supposed be with disguised pivoting and mid faced vision center with parallax offset will allow you to see the no imaginary shot line clearly showing a 4 railer in the last supper painting?

Besides a pool hall bum, what are Hal's accomplishments?
 
Hal’s playing accomplishments are not relevant.
The teacher doesnt have to be great to be a great teacher
Ie bob harmon/ the guy many nfl QBs go to for their throwing mechanics etc
Jmho

The teacher doesn't have to be a great player, that is correct.

So who has trained under Hal?

I tried the latest method in mohrt's thread in which he shows how he does it, which is different from how you or cookie does it. I stick with the basic manual pivot because at least that's something that can be seen and is less subject to subjective movements. If one of your shots is a B perception then you find edge to B and also center to edge. Find a spot where they both look right then get down with the bridge and tip offset from center ball by a half tip and then pivot to make the shot. I understand what Stan teaches and I know why it cannot work as advertised. I tried explaining it to you in plain language but all you could come back with is "bullshit."

You make the accusation that Mohrt does it differently then me, PROVE IT, or it’s just another in the long line of your false accusations
 
Then why are there 60 YouTube videos, multiple DVDs and a terribly written book?
Because there was hope that the local idiots here on AZ would actually study CTE instead of just constantly posting false information about it. You fit in quite well with that group.

Instead something great happened. Thousands of others have purchased the book and are enjoying learning and having success with CTE.

But I thought you had some difficulties with a manual pivot. Does it go in and out as a working process for you? Maybe my memory isn't serving me right, but I thought it was fairly recent.
If one of your shots is a B perception then you find edge to B and also center to edge.
If you mean seeing this simultaneously, you're on the right track. Then go down on the shot with the tip of your cue at CCB while your eyes, head, and body are in that position and take the shot. Do it on both OB alignments I laid out. What happens?
Find a spot where they both look right
When they look right means what? What is aligned to what? What spot are you talking about? It will be right when it's seen and set up correctly with center and edge.
then get down with the bridge and tip offset from center ball by a half tip and then pivot to make the shot.
Tip offset is where on the CB? Pivot to where?

I understand what Stan teaches and I know why it cannot work as advertised.
Is that from a lot of experience on the table or the erroneous information coming out for whatever reason? Believe it or not, I had the same thoughts and problems way back when. But, it DOES work as advertised. The problem comes from us with the visuals based on head, eyes, body, and tip placement.
I tried explaining it to you in plain language but all you could come back with is "bullshit."
It's a neat word, isn't it? Has a lot of applications and reasons to use it.

You forgot what you've said in the past, how you all do it differently.
I didn't say we all did it differently, but i do agree that there are numerous versions of CTE out there.
Anyone practicing and learning under Stan, as Mohrt and I do, will do it the same.
So you should really stop trying to put CTE down in a negative light considering you know actually very little about it and no absolutely nothing about how Mohrt and I use it.
You could find out though by accepting my challenge. I'll use CTE and you use your JBM and see if you really are stealing as you said.

The fact that you think that's not nonsense tells us all we need to know about your understanding of aiming in pool.

My understanding of aiming in pool can be put to the test right in front of your nose. I already told you I'd come out to Chicago
and illustrate my understanding of aiming on your own pool table. Your aiming against my aiming. But it will not be for fun. Putting your money where your mouth is should be a no brainer if you're that confident I don't know what I'm doing. I'll even call it out on every shot. The money part will have 4 figures minimum with the first number no less than 5. I should be easy pickins for a super star player and brainiac that you think you are. I'm not woofing. This is for real. Yes...No...or Weaseling?
 
Aiming well and understanding aiming are different things - either one can be done without the other.

Woofing about how well you play underscores what you don't get.

This isn't woofing. This is a desire to do exactly what I said. I WILL come out there but not for nothing. I'm dead serious and will do it right in front of your nose.

As far as your first sentence is concerned, BOTH will be done together. Not one without the other. I'll call out exactly how I'm aiming before taking every shot. You don't understand a damn thing when it comes to centers and edges and how it's done.
NOTHING! You didn't even answer the ball setup shooting test correctly I put up earlier in this thread for CTE. Why? You have
no clue how to see it and how to shoot it. All mouth and no action.

For one, I "no" that mohrt looks at cb last and you look at ob last, yes? Be careful about throwing around lies because it's hard to keep it all straight. That was just one difference that comes immediately to mind. Now you're going to tell me that isn't a difference at all because it isn't really part of CTE. lol

Dave, all joking aside, what are you saying such a contest will prove?
