A Few CTE Questions

I was trying to illustrate that a match against PJ will show nothing about how CTE works.
It's not about how it works. It would be about the fact I'm using it 100% of the time and for him to see no other visuals or methods are being interchanged. Not that it would register on his pea brain regarding CTE nor would his mega ego process it.

He, like you, are in constant denial about something neither of you have a grain of sand knowledge about or the ability to perform. You THINK you do but it's so far off base it shows up in each and every post as well as stupid videos you create for Youtube. I know you're trying to be the "Amazing Randi" of CTE debunking but it can't be debunked, and you don't have the
knowledge or skill to know where to start with it for use as it should be done.

There would be an ulterior motive and that would be to relieve him of 5 grand (which he wouldn't even bet 5 bucks on because he has no heart) and to humiliate his miserable self in front of the entire pool world. And if you or anyone else thinks he has a chance, check out Amazon first to see if they have any kind of sale going on for a set of gonads for him.

How CTE works is all on video done by Stan and the book. You don't want to go that route? Tough S**T!

(Hope I didn't let you down with my "flamboyant vocabulary". If so, I'll try harder next time) :devilish:

I explained it in 192, then I explained why you wouldn't understand it anyway, and I was right both times. Go back to sleep.

Again DO IT. Stop with your theory and DO IT.

You keep making claims well insulting everyone. DO IT. Stop being a coward and DO IT.

BACK YOUR OWN CLAIMS UP AND DO IT.

Instead, you demonstrate cowardice with your continued pattern of excuses of why you won't do it.
 
What planet are you living on? How could it get into the pool halls when it was only discussed on the internet in pool forums.
The real die hard guys in pool halls didn't go on forums back then.
Why is this so difficult? Hal invented CTE and taught it to people in pool halls. If it were all it's cracked up to be it would be the standard way to play by now, but it isn't.
 
I have no idea what you use in the way of CTE nor do I know that you even know what the hell you're doing. Hal's CTE definitely had a pivot but he DID NOT have two visuals as there is with CTE PRO1 that Stan developed.
I'm not talking about Hal. I'm talking about Stan. He had two visuals and a pivot on EVERY shot.
This I would agree with.

Nope! My UNDERSTANDING of WHAT I'm doing is EXACTLY the reason why my shooting is better than ever.
 
There is also nothing that says he isn't, except you and your minions,,,,,

And yet, you continue to say he isn't on a daily basis, based on nothing.
Nothing other than physics, geometry and common sense.
Well certainly he is, that is how you make the perceived angle shoot thicker or thinner, but he doesn't have to look at the pocket to do so, how much he pivots or sweeps is determined well before he addresses the shot, any adjustment you see after a certain point is simply aiming at the exact hit he wants on the cue ball.
Well now that's interesting. Can you expand on what you mean by the bold?
Except every shot is different, so the last shot, or the last 100 shots, don't help make the next one.

You're welcome.
 
As simple as that sounds, it’s partially correct. Think about it… if people learned it, and tried it, and they weren’t pocketing balls better and more consistently, why would they ever continue to use it?

People get all hung up on the phrase “aiming system”, but all an aiming system really is, is a baseline of reference points. EVERYONE has some kind of reference point when they first look at a shot; whether it’s “feel” (a subconscious recollection of hitting shots very similar to the one in front of them thousands of times before), or an A/B/C point, or a fractional aiming spot, or whatever other thing that people have come up with.

There IS a shot line that pockets the ball, and whether you’re using CTE, TOI, or stroking jelly beans in your jeans to find that line, all that matters is that you find it. I’ve heard Johnny Archer, SVB, Bustamante, CJ Wiley, and many others all say they use aiming systems. All are just baselines for referencing. Some people act like it involves black helicopters and tinfoil hats or something.

If CTE absolutely did not work, people wouldn’t back down from playing people who use it. And people who use it, wouldn’t still be using it.
I don't think you understand the argument. CTE is not supposed to be a reference point like every other system. It is supposed to show you the shot line without you having to recognize it first. The only system that really does do that with very minimal adjustment is Poolology. Brian has sold thousands of Poolology books like falling off a log because it works. Things that work take on a life of their own, or go viral as the kids would say these days, lol.

This is a good example of attacking the messenger when you can't address the message itself.

Poolology is zero and one against CTE on the table by the way. But since you believe in poolology so much are you now using it on every shot?

He did more over the phone and that was limited to RSB posters who he deemed worthy. Hal didn't live in pool rooms after he got married and had a kid. There is no one way to aim that can be considered "the standard" and never will be. Freedom of choice at all levels.

No, he sold Poolology books because it is DIRT CHEAP on Amazon. It works so great that YOU DON'T USE IT NOR DOES THE CREATOR. I don't know that ANYONE who comes on this forum has ever bragged about how Poolology is the only system they use and how it improved their game. NOBODY! For $15 bucks, who gives a crap?!
 
I'm not talking about Hal. I'm talking about Stan. He had two visuals and a pivot on EVERY shot.
Stan made a DVD set in 2011 titled Pro One and BASIC CENTER TO EDGE. That did have pivots in Basic Center To Edge.
Here's what it covered: BASIC CTE; EXACT VISUALS; PIVOTING TECHNIQUES; STRAIGHT-INS; CUT SHOTS; THE HALF
BALL SHOT; VERY THIN CUTS; BANKING; PRO ONE and much more.


But he wasn't satisfied and put his heart and soul into the project ON THE TABLE and developed the book CENTER POCKET MUSIC and THE TRUTH SERIES VIDEOS which came out in 2021.

YOU refuse to buy it but the TRUTH SERIES VIDEOS are FREE on youtube. Hell, I tried to get you to watch one when working on SHISKABOB but you wouldn't even consider it and said NAAAAH. It covered exactly what your arguing about right now and how
TWO VISUALS are used in lieu of pivoting.

Yet here you are every single day saying the same crap over and over like a broken record and nothing sinks into your thick skull.
 
Poolology is zero and one against CTE on the table by the way. But since you believe in poolology so much are you now using it on every shot?
No, Brian is 0-1 against cookie. Are you telling me if Earl Strickland came to town and beat you you'd say CTE is 0-1 against however he aims? There's more to the game than aiming, not to mention outside influences like jet lag or playing on your home table, etc.

Since he's never going to answer, I'll do it for him. HELL NO!! How about not even one particular shot out of thousands. He has his own system down pat which has taken him to pool heights nobody on here could possibly exceed.

You are in denial.

I watched the first half of the truth videos when they first came out. I've since seen some of the rest here and there. It is basically a reworking of a system you guys said was the holy grail of pool for a decade.

And there's more to a game regardless of what an amateur uses, or pro, when Earl Strickland is involved.
That having been said, I'm glad you brought up Earl Strickland. A young AMATEUR player who uses CTE PRO1
stomped Earl into the ground on a 10 foot table. Coincidentally, he just happens to be the SON of the CTE PRO1 creator.

Aiming is but one, and a relatively minor one, of many skills needed to play at a high level. Aiming is not high on my list of things I need to work on. When your stroke is true aiming magically becomes far easier. What does that tell you? I don't use poolology much because I already know when most shots are on. Poolology is a learning tool. I don't underline every word in a book with my finger as I read, either. My reading skill developed beyond a need for that.

What tournaments have you won lately? Poolology is a LEARNING TOOL? LMAO.
CTE PRO1 is a PLAYING TOOL for amateurs and pros at the highest level.
