    "Aiming Systems" are Junk, DO the Work!

    CTE can't be fine tuned any further with its CCB foundation. It's not like, oh yeah, a little thicker here and a little thinner there. CTE handles various angles without any adjustment. Again, there's no thicker or thinnner necessary to get the job done. Sure, CTEers are already doing it and...

    "Aiming Systems" are Junk, DO the Work!

    Yeaaah! But, angles are invisible. Nobody can even tell if a straight in is really a straight-in. There's no way to read exact angles. I mean exact angles ffor Cb OB relations. Just close won't cut it. The problem with your description for fractions is those shots iworks only on exact angles...

    "Aiming Systems" are Junk, DO the Work!

    The edge ain't got no consistent home with fractions. Too many tweeners and tick to tick combinations to even think about. Would make your head spin. The edge is homeless, never really knowing where it's gonna wipe its feet. It's here,,it's there it's everywhere and it's destination can't be...

    No, they are NOT the same lines. If the CTE lines were congruent with fractional lines , it wouldn't be CTE and consequently CTE would be cooked....done, not palatable. I get visually bored! Nothing else to figure out, visually. Doesn't mean that I don't miss. My shaking arm makes miss plenty...

    "Aiming Systems" are Junk, DO the Work!

    You got me Grasshopper! The problem with fractions is that one's vision is in a decent place for seeing things but not in a perfect place. A decent location represents a block for real aiming that occurs with the edge of the cue ball. The thing about feel aiming is that it's close to CTE aiming...

    "Aiming Systems" are Junk, DO the Work!

    First of all.....CTE is easier than feel once in place. I would not even describe CTE as a system from a proficiency standpoint. It's see align with no guess or tweeners or adjustments. . A relationship is seen and the player falls on the shot knowing what to see and how to align to CCB. CTE...

    "Aiming Systems" are Junk, DO the Work!

    Fractions have been around for a century or more. There's not much new that I can add. But Im positive that I can throw a wrinkle or two in, especially on the visual side of things.,Nothing that Ive created, just two or three little nuggets that I have picked up along the way that some will...

    "Aiming Systems" are Junk, DO the Work!

    I think your work is fine but it doesn't lend itself in any as an every shot routine. That's a huge negative. How in the heck can it be better than traditional fractional aiming when it's too cumbersome to employ on every shot. I doubt that you use it 10% 20% of the time. There is no way that a...

    "Aiming Systems" are Junk, DO the Work!

    The proof to me is that it can be easily used for every shot. Additional proof is that 5 simple lines are easier to work with than dissecting the Cb for more 8 or even 16 lines. That's crazy IMO. It is still unbelievable to me that you think fractional aiming of any kind is void of gaps but if...

    I'm no stranger to doing a video. A video exercise can be good therapy. I'd like to see about 10 folks request this video lesson. Stan Shuffett

    Thanks for your encouragement, Paul. You are number 3. Concerning straight-ins, let's say a pure zero angle. Regardless, if it's a zero alignment for CTe there are two ways to proceed---one inside and one outside, the cue alignment will always be straight no matter which choice. The zero angle...

    Thanks! Let's see what percolates here, interest-wise. I love teaching fractions! They're so easy to teach and very simple to use. It's a shame that they're gap oriented but that's the nature of one liners with one's nose behind the cue ball center. Stan Shuffett

    "Aiming Systems" are Junk, DO the Work!

    You have your opinion. Fractional systems have guesswork to include yours. What's superior about a 4/5 fractional line system to yours is that is can be used effortlessly for every single shot even to include as a foundation for spin application. You admittedly don't use your system in...

    "Aiming Systems" are Junk, DO the Work!

    Whew! Saved me a little time. I would have thought that in this, The Aiming Forum, there would have some interest in getting my presentation of the quarters system, the fractional system that can be employed for every shot. Little did I know that years ago when I did use it, it served as a good...

    "Aiming Systems" are Junk, DO the Work!

    I think you have addressed the tweeners aspect of your system quite well. For myself, when I did teach fractions and for what I taught my son, I used the quarters systems. It's an excellent system, short of professional, that can be used every shot without any calculations. It's a 5 line...

    I love it when CTE is always the subject. Personally, I'm flattered. About Rodney. During the BONUS BALL SEASON many of the players around would hang out and also practice together at times. Stevie Moore invited Rodney to take look at PRO ONE. Rodney did for a short time in order to grasp the...

    "Aiming Systems" are Junk, DO the Work!

    The problem with fractions is that some do go but some do not go. Therefore, whether you want to acknowledge it or not, with fractions, you must enter in to the world of tweeners. Guess-work! Apples and oranges compared to CTE. Dan knows it. Lou knows it. AtLarge knows it. Spider knows it...

    Even the word STEPS is misleading ...It's see and align as in easier than feel. CTE is what feel aspires to be. Stan Shuffett

    "Aiming Systems" are Junk, DO the Work!

    SET SYSTEM is very misleading in that the phrasing connotates something rigid or strict. Why might Brandom totally reprogram? Because CTE is easier to implement than feel plus it's more accurate. I feel sure that he'll want to respond. We'll see. Stan Shuffett
