CTE is a professional system.

For the calendar years of 2016/17 I am inviting and offering complete training for 8 top USA pro players in real CENTER-TO-EDGE aiming. The duration of training will be 3-14 days, whatever is needed, all at my expense.....from arrival till departure

All I ask in return is a public statement answering these questions.

Is CTE a reference system?
Is CTE just another fraction system?
Does the system take the player to the shot line?
Is CTE aiming, aiming that occurs on a different plane?
Is CTE aiming, aiming that occurs in a new dimension?
Is real CTE A PROFESSIONAL system?
Does CTE make all shots?
To what degree would you describe the objectivity of CTE?

With all due respect, you're offering training to top pros? Am I not understanding something? I don't really foresee Justin Hall calling you up wanting to learn how to aim.

I can help him to be an improved player!
He could answer to that as well as the other questions.
I am certain that Justin is still learning.

Stan, do you have any pros already signed up or is this offer new as of today?

I think this is a wonderful offer, but I'm kind of skeptic about how the "results" would ever be objectively measured.

Taking top pros, who seldom miss, and then having them do nothing but aim for a few days isn't a true test of the system, if you ask me.

Why not take somebody a notch or two down and then see if they are up to pro level in a short period of time after your lesson. That "improvement" is much easier to measure.

I vote for John Barton to be added to the list. Everyone has seen him play in the past. He believes in and is passionate about the system. I think he would be a great player to use for the doubters.

I doubt a pro would want to do this. They already hardly miss or make mistakes, if they start trying to aim a different way it would just mess them up with shot making if anything. Once you start to actively think about how to shoot a shot and try to change what you have been doing that is working, you are done. Aiming system would work for a beginner best, with greatly diminishing returns the better a player is.

Only time I'd thing anyone would aim by a system would be if they had a tough shot that was a centerball hit and did not have to worry much about position or if position was already at the angle of the shot.

I know a good shot maker that is a good player and lines up using some aiming system, but for his level he is a horrible position player as he can't do anything special to get shape and still make a ball. If it's not a natural angle he can use by just changing the speed he hits, he is about 50/50 in making the shot and getting position.

Of course this is the way to do this. Not using top players that have very little improvement left to gain. More smoke and mirrors. Johnnyt

Did you read the OP's post? He wants them to answer some questions about it, not learn how to aim. They already know how to aim. Also, do you really think that all there is to being a pro is knowing how to aim? That's what you are actually saying- that what separates the pros is their ability to aim. We all know that isn't true.

I think some of the point is that pro players have an excellent ability to tell what is going on when they are at the table. Thus, if one says that the system itself gets them in-line with the shot objectively, then we will be more prone to believe that the system itself actually works. Stan is putting his system to the test against the most knowledgeable minds in the pool world.

Neil,
Yes, Pros can aim. However, there are at least 2 catagories for aiming. CTE may or may not fall into the area of aiming that a particular pro is familiar with.
So, my purpose is to train them in the CTE area.......CTE is a different way of aiming.
Then and only then can the questions be properly answered.
Bottom line....As I see it, aiming is very broadly one way or the other......I am interested in pros seeing and commenting on the CTE way if they do not already know it...

I believe that Stevie Moore is a big believer in CTE.

...and personally, I think he played much better before he started using CTE...

Now he fidgets and moves around, trying line things up and change pivots..missing more shots than he ever did..

Prior to CTE, he would get down and run out..

So your saying it is like he drank an elixir to regain his youth but got older ?:smile:LOL. I have no opinion on the system , because i haven't tried it .
