Consider this.....missing using CTE the usual answer why is because one did not have the correct visuals.....real clear, definitive answer...
With my concept, If you are going for center pocket, but hit wide to the right, you know the GB contact patch needed to move left and depending how far from the pocket controls how much movement is needed. This can be stored away for future reference.....
Achieving a high level of consistency requires a lot of trail and error.....practice.....training and using a system that does not provide any form of data to be used to make adjustments is a useless system.
Sorry, did you just say that CTE has no form of data to be used to make adjustments?
Well #1 you have no frigging clue about CTE as evidenced by your posts and #2 CTE has possibly the BEST data possible for adjustments. If you miss by a fraction then it's either your stroke is off OR you were sloppy in the visual perception.
If you miss by a lot then the visual perception you chose was flat out wrong and you try another one. That's a hell of a lot better than guessing until you finally get it right.
With CTE you can rule out most of the perception keys right away. You only have a limited set to choose from anyway and most of them obviously won't work. So you are left with a few choices and IF you have practiced enough then you pretty much know the right one. But sometimes you won't be sure and you will choose the wrong one. If you're in a game then too bad you missed. If you're practicing you simply set it up again and choose the other one and find that you're dead perfect.
How much more objective can that be?
If you had the slightest clue what the visuals are in CTE then you would understand how objective they are. They are very simply ways of perceiving the angle from your eyes to the cueball object ball relationship. This DIRECTS where you body goes and that is where you drop into the shot from. Very simple, very OBJECTIVE - as in you look at two objects and align yourself accordingly.
Now, if you come up against a shot that you have never ever practiced or played before the CTE visuals can give you a great chance to make the ball.
How?
Very simple, because you have a limited set of perceptions you can quickly file through all the ones that absolutely will not work and focus on the ones that probably will work. Narrowing it down to that you can make a decision and have a very good chance that your decision is the right one. Thus allowing you access to every possible shot on the table even if you haven't practiced them all.
So Duckie, honestly, shut up. Really just have the decency to SHUT UP about CTE. You talking about it is like me trying to lecture you on Motorcycle Racing. You claimed you spent five years racing. I believe you.
I know nothing about motorcycle racing. I have ridden a motorcycle a few times in my life. So obviously me trying to tell you that a method in racing that you used and are confident in doesn't work would be silly and offensive.
All you are doing it wasting time and making yourself look silly. Do you like to look silly? Do you like it when people who do know their shit think you are clueless? Do you think you are winning people over here?
Look I like it that you appear to be in love with pool. That's great. But you really have some sort of mental issue when it comes to challenging those who know way more about pool than you do. To denigrate Stan and others who have poured so much of themselves into the methods they teach and learn is just offensive and wrong.
Those people just want to see others get better, including you. So at the very least you could own up to your own ignorance and inexperience and sit back and absorb the wisdom rather than pretending to know more than you do.
