And then the television was invented.

So drop your price to $13,500 and maybe get a quick sale. Pigs get fed, hogs get slaughtered. ;)

Great idea for a thread!

I had a quote for a 550 sf garage was right at $3000. I'll probably tile it instead when I have time.

I think standing behind the ob to pocket line to sight a shot is part of ghost ball, if you want to call that a system. I think "systems" like edge of ferrule are really pre shot routines that provide consistency. However, that edge of ferrule has to be linked to a particular shot angle that...

IMO that's not a system. Yes, but that's not really what we were talking about when we say "aiming." I was going to make that qualification but I didn't think I needed to. ...which has to be confirmed by "does it look right." I think you are being very generous with your definition of...

What's an example of a shot where a professional would need to employ an aiming system?

Wow! Low is back! I know you hate me but I always admired your life story, if not your exploits on AZ. Glad to see you are still kicking.

I'm not following your diagram.

I just kind of bank by feel. I'm not a great banker but not horrible, either. I've never really used this system but I wonder if it is accurate enough to get you closer than just feel. Your suggestion of finding the spot on the rail is interesting. I'll have to try it.

Do you mean look back at the OB and see where it needs to hit the rail?

You sure give the impression you use CTE PRO1 by giving examples out of his book and saying for 2 years that you could diagram it on CAD. If you use your own version of CTE you could have said so after the third or fourth time I pointed out that what you are doing bears little resemblance to...

You. Can't. Do. That. Period. If you do then it isn't CTE Pro1.

This violates the rules of CTE. You cannot pick any old spot on a rail and pick a perception to get you there. CTE only works at the corner and side pockets, supposedly. You have come up with something that works for you after substantial time on the table and you insist on calling it Stan's CTE.

Can you point out the difference between what you said and what I said? Aren't we both saying you are aiming at a point on a rail (as if there were a pocket there) using CTE and, furthermore, this is what Stan now instructs?

Isn't that basically EXACTLY what I said? You said you imagine a pocket at that spot and below you say that's what Stan does. Ask JB about that. lol sure.

You always make these claims but then you say you're too busy or can't be bothered to show proof. Why don't you take a picture of the section in Stan's book where he says you can imagine a pocket along the rail and use CTE to send the ball there? I know -- you don't feel like it.

Well like I said I don't think you are doing what Stan teaches but I'm not going to belabor the point.

He said in his first or second post that the book has you set up certain shots that you hit over and over again until they look right. In other words HAMB.

Stan has never illustrated that you can imagine a pocket along a rail and use CTE to get there. If he actually has then he has completely changed his teaching of CTE. Ask JB. This is different from supposedly making 2 and 3 rail shots using CTE. I'm going to leave well enough alone. I don't...
