One hour? Not surprising, I mean it's a "professional" system and all these players are professionals.
There you go with the wiseass rolleyes at the end of the sentence. Cookie isn't a pro and I'm not a pro. We both took a number of days in private lessons with Stan as did other non-pros. My first lessons with CTE were with Hal over the phone and then in person. But I guess I was drugged by both of them and didn't see the results on my own. I don't see you being a wiseass to PJ, Lou, or Dan. Why? Because you're lower on the totem pole for the clique.
But honestly, when talking about players that very rarely miss a shot, how many balls do they have to shoot before really knowing that what they are doing now is better than what they've been doing for years? Lol
I think more than anything they were intrigued with the results because of the uniqueness of the visuals and never having thought of aiming that way. It does get the attention. Sure did for me.
I don't waste much time on here anymore. A few posts here and there.
Total bullcrap. Look how many you've done just with me today. You have multiple posts in ALL of these threads when the knocking started. When CTE starts cranking up, you're all in.
You didn't post much after your wife passed away. Btw, I want to stop right here and say I'm very sorry that it happened. For both you and your kids. I'm serious.
And don't forget I'm one of those who actually had the pro1 DVDs and watched all of Stan's videos (multiple times), and read about every how-to post here on CTE, and personally spoke over the phone to a supposedly proficient cte user, and also have two friends who have had the private lesson. So you can say I'm "against" CTE all you want, but the truth is I simply gave it a shot, a good one, without investing a thousand hours though, and all I learned is that it didn't quite work so magnificently for me, not as instructed. I could make it work, but that's not what I expected.
Then that's all that's necessary. IT ISN'T FOR YOU. And that's OK.
I'm the type that gives honest appraisals of products and services so that others will have better understanding and realistic expectations should they try the same product or service. Prime example....I don't like Justice boots because they don't accommodate a wide foot, despite advertising an extra wide size. I returned the boots and posted my disappointment with the product on the website where I had purchased them. And believe it or not,
not one single Justice boot wearer called me a hater, a basher, or an anti-Justice supporter. I did receive an email apologizing for the fact that their widest boot is only a couple of millimeters wider than normal. They were very polite about it, as was I in my review.
It's not the same thing at all. You have no vested interest in the production or ownership of BOOTS. You do have a vested interest in another aiming system for pool that you SELL for PROFIT. You also want to be associated with the Anti-CTE gang that's been doing it for over 20 years. Don't even attempt telling me otherwise. I've never seen you speak positively at length when it comes to any facet of CTE.
And of course private lessons can help the average improve, from music to pool to anything else.
Agreed 100%
As far as every player being able to learn CTE if taught the "correct" way....maybe so. But the correct way has proven not to be so easily found in 2 dvds and a hundred youtube clips. Apparently it requires a private lesson, which makes sense if there is just something that doesn't quite resonate unless you get it in person. Maybe the book will be better than all of the material presented thus far.
