Did you fit a normal curve to the actual data in order to predict the likelihood of 626 or did you do something else? Can you back out his average shot making percentage from this?

Like it refers to in the article, I've always thought the zone was real and that it happened when all those little mechanical and mental things came together "properly" to achieve perfect performance. I could be wrong, but it seems a reasonable explanation.

Maybe if they were all Digiballs we could solve the Theory of Everything.

How about this: Drill a hole completely through a cue ball and slip it onto your cue like a ring so that the tip just pokes through the other side and glue it there. Then all you have to do is match up that cue ball with a real one and shoot! :)

Two of the most vocal CTE proponents have been banned from the aiming forum so there's much less to see here now.

I think you are referring to this:

The pest man?

Hi mohrt! For those who don't know mohrt is a rational CTE user and a nice guy.

I think pool would benefit from having more people like you participating! Some people like to just play and others like doing drills. If you've been playing for only four months I'd recommend you dedicate some time to working on fundamentals and not worry too much about which game to play.

7 of 9 Just sayin'.

I don't know how to let one or the other eye dominate. I just found a spot where they both work the same.

I don't generally play long enough sessions to notice eye strain, but I could imagine it. How do you resolve a problem where 1/2 ball hits don't work in both directions with your "natural" head position? It seems you would have to angle the cue differently depending on which direction you were...

I've watched out for drifting back to the dominant eye since you mentioned it awhile back. I think that did happen a couple of times after layoffs but once I really locked in on what works for me that hasn't been a problem. What do you say regarding not seeing left and right half-ball hits the...

OK I took another look at what I'm seeing. Not sure this helps as we are all different, but... When I am in shooting position (left handed, left eye dominant) and I close my left eye the right eye sees the alignment as "straight" as VC recommends. If I open the left eye only it still appears...

I understand what you are getting at, I think. If you want to play around with what I did for yourself I'd start with the half ball shots. ob at center table and cb at foot or head spot. Shoot at the half ball edge without regard to pocketing the ball and see what happens. In thinking about...

Not at all. Happy to discuss, even we're the only two still reading, ,lol. I got lasik surgery almost 20 years ago for astigmatism in the right eye. I don't think that had an impact on my aiming, other than the obvious benefits.

Yes. Yes. Inside corner of non-dominant eye. Sort of. I can't give you a yes or no because the alternative to straight is crooked. Nothing looks crooked. It's just that the straight line passes along the side of my VC instead of under it. Think of it this way. Set up a straight alignment...
