Maybe. But you're the only CTE go-off woofin' at me

That's because you can't win and you know it. We both know you won't play.

If we could "negotiate" something you would turn out to be wrong.

I am confident. I have been exposed to enough of the new language to see that it really does cover the bases. There were some things even I never quite put my finger on, but the language cleared them up. It was like a whole new perspective, pun intended.
It is more than just "language" as well. There have been some new concepts discovered with approaching the system, ultimately arriving at the same answer that has been there all along. This, coupled with clearer language is the what puts it over the edge. I really do think this will clear a lot of bad air round here. Now if we can all agree WHY it works, well that is a discussion for a future day
I do not think any author of an instruction book should 'submit a working manuscript to the uninitiated' and get their take'. If they're uninitiated, how would their opinions matter anyway? Anyway...there are plenty of those giving their take right in this pool shooting site..plenty who've never worked...and I mean worked at trying it out.The reason I'm skeptical is that DVD2 is full of descriptions that leave me without any useful information. Phrases like "aiming in a new dimension" and "connecting with the geometry of the table" don't convey (to me at least) anything that promotes understanding. I think the best plan would be to submit the working manuscript to uninitiated players and get their take on the effectiveness of the language and overall teaching methodologies.
Let's hope you are right in your opinion though.

Maybe "uninitiated" is not the best choice of words. Assuming the book is being written for people that are beyond the basics of pool, but have no prior exposure to CTE, those are the kind of people that can determine if everything they need is in the book and if it is presented in a way that they can understand. Already knowledgeable players can provide valuable input, but the other group is important too.
Honestly if it was just how to perform the steps, rough parameters of when to use each category, and how to manual pivot and visual sweep, I think that would be great.
Chapters 8 and 9 of the DVD show step by step cuts to the left and right.
What is it that is unclear in these 2 chapters?
How about the fact that information on how to cut the ball are chapters 8 and 9?!
What is so important that it takes 7 chapters before we can actually get down to business?
Imagine if your vcr instruction manual spent 7 chapters teaching you the magic behind vcr's and how they work? I don't give a damn, I just want to record my soaps.
If you make me learn 7 chapters before I can even get started, I should be getting a diploma sent to my door when the DVD ends.
You said there was no simple explanation to just shoot.
But there it is.
After all this time there it was and you missed it.
Did you know your DVD player has a 2 chapter buttons?
I don't understand.
Your DVD remote control can advance the disc chapter by chapter.
I never got to that part. My DVD instruction manual was like 20 chapters on why DVD's unlock a new dimension of visual entertainment.

It's just too much complicated information to try and chew on. There needs to be a CTE for Dummies.
