Is It CTE or ETC? It Doesn't Matter

I have this loser on ignore so I can't even see what you're responding to, but I do see who it is. Don't waste
your energy and time. Do likewise. When they hide like he does and keeps pecking away like a woodpecker
at everything we say and suck us in to his shit world with responses, we lose and he wins because that's his mission.
Guaranteed even in person, you'd be looking at a first class jerk that would require an immediate disconnect to get
away as fast and far as possible.
I agree. Another with no clue about CTE
 
I know quite a bit about CTE from what I've picked up here and there, but I've never tried to use it. I'm sure it's used effectively by the players who like it, but it's not for me.

But I don't have to even know its name to know that it can't work without feel as claimed, because that's logically implausible. Stan himself called CTE "from another dimension" and "not supposed to be" - so he at least gets that its claims are... unusual. And since that claim is central to CTE's claim to fame, it's inevitable that it'll be questioned and discussed unless Stan's the forum moderator.

If I just sat behind my computer and read about CTE I would probably feel like you do. But the reality is that I went to the table, tried it out and learned about CTE. Stan’s claims are unusual, never heard of before in pool, but they are correct. Question it all you want. It’s the real deal.
 
If they do use contact points, fractions, CTE, overlaps, they all know exactly what to look for and get on it immediately.
On here it has to do more with a general area of linking up the two balls and then fine-tuned by a process of elimination with
a mini orgasm signaling it's time to pull the trigger.
is that a premature ejaculation?? (orgasm first ...then pull the trigger)

Some class. The teachers are The Three Stooges. The question posed merely asks how the Shuffle arrives at this 81 degree line. Do you agree 60 inside or 60 outside isn't a good enough choice?
So you want answers lol. Then why resort to name calling and other bullshit. Why not answer the question I asked that started this conversation?

Your posts are full of class. I think we all agree on that.
 
Explain the exact steps for a 15 outside
Straightline/dan/patrick
please answer the question?
it has no relation to if you think it can pocket a range of shots using it
it just will show if you can discuss CTE from the same perspective as its proponents

They can’t in reality. But now watch, Dan will quote someone else’s description of it lol.
 
This is not a word I'm familiar with, so I looked it up.

What I glean from it is that a heightened sense of awareness has to be present to begin with based on a number of different factors. In some instances, specialized training can be done but it usually involves someone that has a high skill level to begin with. It does seem very plausible, when applied to pool, that an Efren or a good number of players who sit at the top of the totem pole of pool rankings .....

This isn't true, in bold.

Everyone has proprioception. It isn't a special gift that only people with a heightened sense of awareness possess.

We all have receptors in our our muscles and tendons, and these receptors communicate info to our brain that allows us to know where our body parts are positioned without having to look at them. The receptors are called proprioceptors. Anyway, it's how we can walk or tie our shoes or throw a ball accurately, all without having to actually focus or look at our legs or arms or feet or hands.

Some people have better proprioception than others, but we all have a pretty good dose of it already. Balancing excercises can help improve your proprioception, but unless you're planning to walk tightropes or something like that, there's not much need for improvement, for most people anyway. Of course, those who are clumsy or have lousy coordination could benefit from strengthening their proprioception.

So this heightened state could be as normal as one's ability to focus on a familiar activity?

Hey Brian, its good to see you contributing to these aimless threads. Also happy to see discussion about proprioception - I mentioned this key, core concept in a few threads a while back that went nowhere. I think most folks think its new age alien stuff. Its core to everything, really… and IMO hugely beneficial concept to understand for pool, as stance and visualization are so connected to this game. Modern sports phycology is definitely absent from most technical pool discussions, and definitely appears to not be a part of the CTE world.
