How's the CTE forum doing on facebook?

Cookie started slow but eventually he got into the swing of things. Everybody seems to be OK with all of the threatening and aggressive things that spider says. Why don't you apply your sleuthing skills to what spider has been saying?Double standard anyone?
There are no threats. Man, you really are a little whinebag about the pettiest things which are made up to begin with just like your post here.
 
actually i think he was finding his vision center but i am not an instructor or expert.
spidey i think patrick was describing a new consistent head position for him for all shots
i think the latest version of cte has looking at the cue ball differently based on the type of cut right or left
but i dont think there are different ways for your head position over the cue
i dont want to speak for patrick
but i think he was referring to how you look at the shot when behind the ball in the standing up position
I don't know what he was thinking or doing but I'd be willing to bet he's not doing it now.
 
You're pretty right (so is Dan), but you're both wasting your breath with Spidey - he isn't interested in understanding the truth; he's looking for gotchas, as usual (and doesn't know what he found instead, also as usual).
Are you nuts? Answer: YES. I know the truth straight from Hal and Stan. You know NOTHING! Just what you make up.
Nice to know I have a fan obsessed enough to archive all my posts, though...

Sometimes you just don't recognize the people who really care.

I have done exactly what PJ has done. You can view the balls with your head tilted a little and at an angle to the shot or you can square up your head so the eyes are level with the table and perpendicular to the cue. What's so difficult?

You lie so much you can’t remember what you post. You said it was funny to tilt your head. Now you say you do it. Big black eye for Dan.

Boy, what a baiting post. I'll respond anyway. Stan's method causes you to look at the balls in a funny way and that is supposed to reveal the true path to the pocket. Squaring your head to the shot consistently simply gives you a better look at the balls and pocket so that you can possibly see the shot better. Not complicated.

I don't really care if you say you want someone to choke me because I know it's just a play on words and you a little psycho. I'm sure you are on two or three watch lists somewhere. I do have a problem when I get raked over the coals for some perceived "baiting" game like that is a greater offense than making jokes about violence.

Nothing funny about a slightly tilted head. In fact most pros do it. Keep digging that hole Dan. Big black eye for you thread.
 
how am i wrong ?
and whats with the "Mr.Expert "??? (post #128)
i am voicing an opinion , trying to back it up and never claim to be an expert.
should i infer some hostility from you??
You are wrong in that you have me pegged as trying to start an online riot or something. You are taking some of my comments out of context.

Here's what happened. I had some free time on a Friday afternoon and looked through the aiming forum to see if there were any new discussions, which there were not. I thought, "Sad to see no discussion in a discussion forum." It occurred to me that some of the CTE people said they were going to go to Stan's forum and stop posting here. Out of curiosity I looked up that page's statistics on facebook and found they had grown to 2600 members but with only 3 posts per day average. I decided to post about that and I did so with a little snark, as in you guys keep insulting everyone and saying that CTE is taking over the known universe yet there are only 3 posts per day (and no testimonials in what, months)? I did not throw that in anybody's face because, frankly, maybe that's not such a bad number for only 2600 members. I go to a lawnmower forum that has 115,000 members. That's it, end of story.

Then the very first post is from you, accusing me of stirring up shit. You'll notice that I never replied to your post because I didn't want to immediately get into defending myself about baiting. You deleted that post (Why?) and I never even brought it up. It was cookie who brought it up because he was then turning the thread into a baiting discussion instead of a Stan's group discussion. You'll also note that I did not respond to spider's first post or two because that never ends well and wastes so much time.

So, yes, I do take some offense at your incessant prodding about what a horrendous thing I must have done by baiting someone in a forum that hasn't had a single post for a month. Even if that was my intention, which it wasn't, is it possible to bait someone who doesn't really want to join in? To me, baiting is where you say something so egregious that they have to respond. Throwing out a comment about the popularity of Stan's group is hardly bait material. There was no personal insult, comment about someone's mom, none of that.

Having said all that, I'm choosing to take your comments about baiting as a compliment. Everybody knows that certain people here are off the rails and don't know any better. Your holding me to a higher standard is something of a compliment... you're still wrong, though. ;)
 
I’ve never seen anything that would prove an obvious misunderstanding about CTE.
The misunderstanding is CTE's main claim to fame: the implausible claim that an aiming system, any aiming system, can be complex enough to fully and physically define every cut angle needed in pool (i.e., without "feel") yet simple enough to be used by a player at the table.

I'm pretty sure neither you nor Spidey actually get this, so, as usual, I'm repeating it for others, trusting there are readers here who might understand it and appreciate knowing it.

So no real proof. Just an opinion.

It's actually pretty apparent - though apparently not to everybody.

In fact, that's why I repeat it - so players can at least consider it. Up to them what they do with the info, or even whether they believe it.
