Yeah ok, well unlike poolology, CTE has a multitude of known, measured positions for object and cue ball to create sighting and cueing exercises posted both in a very nice book as well as a multitude of free videos, meant to be performed repeatedly until they become instantly recognizable, and each one has it's defined perception, 1/2 ball 1/4 ball, whatever. It's meant to be trained into your vision and memory to be instantly recognizable. That is why you and others will never be successful with CTE, because you will never do the work that makes it work. And since the exercises have been tested they too need no guesswork. But just the 1/4 ball fractions will not provide the accuracy to pocket any cut shot with either Poolology or CTE, though it can make a lot of cut shots with either. Brian will tell you there are iffy at best shots with his method, or at least he has admitted to as much in public forum in the past. CTE uses the fractions but it does not solely depend on them for accuracy, only initial perception and basic alignment. The many hours of video speaking about vision center and visual alignment and parallax view, stepping, and gearing and such are where meat and potatoes come together and is yet another aspect that lazy critics will never understand. And then there is always the bale out so you don't sound like an frikkin idiot caviat like you are doing yet again, in this very conversation...........
Can you explain to us what it is that tells you to use a half ball hit when using CTE? I am talking about proof that it actually works not just to say "Well if I follow steps A, B and C it works."
Why do you require proof that it works beyond a CTE user saying he uses it, it works for him, etc etc? In fact, who the hell do you think you are to even demand proof? Admit to yourself that other people can do something you cannot because they put in the effort, or put in even more effort yourself and prove once and for all you were right all along and CTE, Stan, me, Barton, and thousands of others have been wrong the entire 20+ years, CTE cannot possibly work! We'll all suddenly start missing everything we shoot at and take up cornhole.
Brian wrote a poolology book and put it out for sale, extremely cheap I thought, so cheap I almost didn't buy it but anyway I gave it a shot and worked with it. One of the things I initially noticed were his zones, well one is this fraction, another is that fraction, but wait, they sometime overlap each other at the extremities. Well by god, that screams to me they cannot both be right, yet both are represented by mathematics. So I test it and you know what, sometimes it was off, iffy? That said, It does what it was touted to do, it helps people make more balls.
Now As far as CTE, I have never shot a realistic cut shot with CTE that cannot be made with a CTE method, not to say I make them all, I do not, because CTE is more accurate than a human is. The CTE method is the same every single shot but humans can only be as accurate as they can be.
Ask Brian the same question you asked me about the 1/2 ball hit. I don't know how to answer it honestly. I know you have sit in your tv or computer room watching countless hours of Stan and others pocketing balls repeatedly with 1/2 ball hits and wondering what the hell this guy knows that you don't?
And then, yet again I think, why should anyone have to prove anything to you?
