    This has been an interesting thread, but notice that the person on here who suggested a 50/50 split after expenses is a players significant other. Ask a union man what they should make (nothing against the unions), and its always more than they are making now. People always think they are...

    Is Touch Of Inside "the teacher"

    That is an interesting statement saying that if it feels right it's probably wrong, and that there is specific technique to make this happen. Are you willing to expand more on what you mean regarding this. This problem has been an achilles heel for my game for a long time, and I would love to...

    How long before a home table pays off?

    When I moved into the house I am in now 9 years ago, I had my table delivered the day after I moved in. I have 3 kids that are involved in a lot of activities, and work a solid 50 hours a week. Without a home table, I would almost never get to play. So, how long until my home table paid...

    Is Touch Of Inside "the teacher"

    I have seen the whole TOI thing going on in threads for quite a while now, but have never quite had the time to investigate it. I have done a search, but that brings up numerous threads to tread through. Is there somewhere where the basic principles for using TOI are explained so I can give it...

    Is Touch Of Inside "the teacher"

    This is very true for me also. My stroke errors come when I over grip the cue and cock my wrist into radial deviation causing it to veer off and move upwards. This is generally occurs the most when I am trying to put some force into the cue, and I try to accelerate too quickly. If I keep the...

    Does the amount of inside change with the amount of angle on the shot?

    Is Touch Of Inside "the teacher"

    I am very interested in TOI, but how do you get position on shots needing outside English. Can the principles be reversed to play outside English?

    50/50 after expenses means the player is getting more than the stake horse. I can't see that being reasonable when the player is risking nothing. 60/40 plus expenses seems much more reasonable.

    Which instructor do you recommend?

    Largely because of the way your initial post was put, calling CTE tinfoil crazy stuff. If you would have said that you simply don't think it works and people shouldn't seek it out, you may not have drawn the responses you have. Either way, you are making claims about the system that obviously...

    Which instructor do you recommend?

    WOW!! Some people just don't know what they don't know. Not saying CTE is necessarily for everyone, but it certainly does work. Please don't listen to this guy. The only person listed above that I had a lesson with was Scott Lee. I learned a lot and was given good tools to improve with. I...

    Just dreaming

    If I'm not mistaken, Allen Hopkins tried something very similar to this, and did not get near enough entries to fund the prize money at the level they had hoped for.

    Which table would you rather have?

    I while heartily agree

    Does CTE deal with this?

    I disagree with Neil. I am left eye dominant and shoot right handed. At first, the fact that I was left eye dominant made it difficult to align to the correct points as shown by Stan. I actually had to use a different way to find the correct points initially, and then the system worked great...

    How beneficial is an aiming system?

    I do have some. I sometimes video myself to watch my patterns and look for errors in my stroke. I don't get a ton of time at the table due to work and busy family life, so I don't claim to be a world beater, but CTE has helped my game. I am not sure if posting a video of me playing will help...

    Why not make side pockets smaller?

    Takes away too many shots. Corner pockets are made smaller to an extent to force more accuracy, but making the side pockets smaller decreases the angle that the shot can even be made at, taking away the ability to make many shots.

    My home room is finally done!

    That looks great. Congrats.

    How beneficial is an aiming system?

    I use CTE on pretty much every shot, and I can tell you that while the system took me a little while to become proficient at it, I can perform it in a manner where you would never even know I was doing it from time or form. Also, it does not in any way inhibit your ability to tell why you...

    How beneficial is an aiming system?

    I also can't believe we are back a this point of a 20 page thread that ruins the OP's ability to gain anything from his original question. To the OP. Many of the aiming systems that are popular have many people who feel they have benefited their game, and helped it get to the next level. Some...

    How beneficial is an aiming system?

    I just can't believe this guy won't give it up. His constant attempts to defame CTE when Stan's versions were first coming out were bad enough, but people didn't know what to believe because most people knew so little about the system. Now that so many people have used it with such good...

    How beneficial is an aiming system?

    I don't comment a lot about aiming systems because the conversations get so crazy. For me, however, CTE significantly improved my ability to make many shots at a playable percentage than I could make before using it. It took a while to get good at, but has definitely improved my game. Of...
