And of among almost ALL posters I most dislike YOUR style of posting: PURE smarmy personal recommendations, with ZERO factual content, and no attempt to present factual information, logical points, or explanations. You've obviously been a "marketer/advertiser" of one sort or another all your...

Isn't it odd how people have complained about my "attitude" in this thread--but it's everyone ELSE who is always calling ME names?? Joey, I didn't do anything but quote you (or honestly summarize your statements). If there's "pettiness" in what I posted--it comes directly from you.

Are you trying to sell the RIDICULOUS notion that only a scientist could describe CTE? Dr. Dave has more specific information on CTE than I can find ANYWHERE else. If it's inadequate it's because CTE is inadequate. If you think there should be resource work on CTE out there, why don't you prod...

Well, I don't know. Apparently, lots of people have taken a course from Stan (or Randy, or Scott Lee)--and haven't seen fit to post an exact explanation. Will a DVD really make things that different? Why? Or will the vagueness still continue, as exemplified by JoeyA's review: He plays "MUCH...

Well, OK, fine. Now at least we know where you stand (somewhere in a different galaxy, apparently). I guess I'll give it one last try: Can you link to a site that has a SINGLE, SIMPLE, BASIC version, so that I and others can learn about CTE without being confused by Dr. Dave's "multiple...

So Dr. Dave is RESPONSIBLE to explain exactly what CTE is, Dave says he has posted everything he can FIND, YOU say you KNOW what "basic CTE" is, but you "don't have to explain anything." That's a pretty messed up little circuit you got going on in your head. Oh, and now I'm a COWARD...

It's comments like that which verify for me that CTE isn't a "system." Systems have clear, defined steps and processes. If you can't explain it, then it's not a "system." (unless you have some sort of handicap--which I doubt you do: If you can type and you can play pool, you can explain a system...

Stop beating around the bush. If you have a LINK to the "source," then provide it. If you mean Hal Houle himself, Dr. Dave (AND Lou Figueroa AND Mike Page) have already claimed to have SPOKEN AT LENGTH to Hal--and not been able to glean any more than Dr. Dave has already put on his site. If...

"One ball wide" is 2 1/4". I made my window 2" (again, which I think I took directly from your work). So I'll say that your comment is roughly in agreement with my original error figures.

Just wanted to have that quote for posterity. It's bad behavior, Petey. Behavior that you deserve to be banned for. Luckily for you, I don't EVER report posts.

I certainly don't see how you can claim that. You mean you think Dr. Dave should go get a lesson from, say, Stan Shuffet, and then completely and in all detail present and explain all that on his pool FAQ site? I don't think that's what Stan would want. If Stan WANTED all his stuff completely...

No. You're not understanding. My data specifies a "target window" (call it a pocket, or whatever else you want to call it) of 4.25" It's slightly SMALLER than a "tight" pocket (4.5") because the idea is to specify a range that is more or less GUARANTEED to make all shots. And so my data will...

I find a lot to agree with in this. At one time, for a good year, I played standing ALMOST UPRIGHT (in an effort to copy Andy Hudson, the acknowledged "best player" in Denver at the time). It's great for aiming--natural GB sighting. But it's bad for stroke--EVERYTHING comes from the shoulder...

Wow. I congratulate Dr. Dave for adding that. He has changed and added to his CTE write-up SIGNIFICANTLY. For me, among the key additions are the few bits of "subconscious" stuff from Stan Shuffet--what better evidence that CTE is NOT based on any sort of "systematic exactitude?" That being the...

I didn't measure anything. I took a width originally presented by Bob Jewett (as I recall--I can't be held to this exactly). It wasn't information that I felt was critical to argue over in detail. The information is as I gave it: a "pocketing zone" is calculated to be any or all paths for the...

I briefly looked at the first article. From that I get the idea that you may be making the same error as others: You're saying the pocket is LARGER--but it's larger, when viewed from the NARROWED pocket that you see from down the rail. When I was talking about a "4-5" inch pocket, of course...

WHOA!! You had me HOT there for a second. I was gonna tell you I could come up with a VERY substantial amount of money (like a live-the-rest-of-your-life-without-income amount) at almost a moment's notice for that kind of bet!! Then... I saw it was just another "IT WORKS!, I'll SHOW YOU!"...

Oops. I missed that one before my earlier response. I do have to admit I appreciate your efforts to bring your own experiences into your posts.

Sorry Dave. Allusions to your "intelligence" don't fly with me. If you can't see that how billiard balls and billiard tables behave is wholly within the domain of mechanical engineering, or that some shot may require a "hair's breadth" of accuracy of HIT--no matter what aiming method you...

JB, Just to let you know: I'm categorizing you as a member of the "under 80" crowd.
