While I believe that CTE is an "objective" system to make balls. The same shots can be made without CTE.
That would be true and I agree. Before getting involved with CTE I made every possible angled shot on the table from straight in to 90 degrees with a decent amount of regularity to not be afraid to bet money with just about anyone other than a pro player. I might not win or beat everyone, which I didn't, but it was good enough not to have fear and step into the ring and go a few rounds
Different systems were used.
Therefore, this system is a merely a crutch and a set of extra things that someone needs to do to make balls.
What this tells me is you know nothing about CTE at all. Sure, you're watching the videos and it seems complicated but once ingrained it's as fast as anything.
Simple is always better.
Not necessarily. It depends on how the eyes and brain connect with something. The arrow is simple. Do you use it?
If you don't need to perform many steps to get to the same result, do the thing with the least amount of individual steps instead, or the most intuitive thing. While some day in the future, there might even be a World Champion that comes along that says that they use the CTE training wheels.
Your so called training wheels is the system used by Tyler Styer 100% of the time.
I wouldn't call him a world champion right now but he did play on the Mosconi Cup team the last two times. He's only 23 years old. Don't know if he'll be the GOAT or close, but it takes more than an aiming system. Not many in the history of the game really could be considered great champions in the whole scheme of things and number of decades.
I would suggest then, that you continue doing exactly what you feel happy with and change nothing.While I believe that CTE is an "objective" system to make balls.

That won't mean at all that this person wouldn't have become a World Champion having never seen or heard of CTE, IMO.
It amazing how full of shit some GHOST BALL/ARROW proponents are.

Watch, learn, and/or take the challenge.
(and don't whine about "those are simple shots, I can make those upside down or standing on my head or with a broomstick, etc. etc." The EXACT SAME PRINCIPLES APPLY FROM 10 FEET AWAY AS FROM 4 FEET AWAY.)
Repeat: Watch, learn, and/or take the challenge.

Do you feel Stan wins the debate just because the ball goes in?

Does Ronnie O'Sullivan have bad teeth and gum disease?True, Ronnie O'Sullivan when asking about aiming
‘I don’t think about it. I just try and pot the ball’.
Mike Tyson eating or not eating Wheatabix as a growing boy...still the best knock out puncher.
Uhhhh...Stan hasn't posted here in a long time. He isn't involved in any debates.
He's involved in demonstrating and instructing on videos and in person.
Because the ball goes in when he shoots would more than likely win every match he played against any and all of the posters who come prancing in here at the aiming forum whose main purpose is to win debates, not live matches. I mean he has won a couple of pro tournaments against pro players.
Go get his money then....Delta is ready when you are.I think in the video low posted, Stan talked about debating it with anyone who'd like to come to his house.
Just because Stan says it does this and that(for him)does it make it objective and the best thing since sliced bread . Stan hasn't posted here for awhile???lol
Most pool players are gonna disagree with Stan and anybody else involved...math guys ...science guys whom ever shouldn't be mentioned..unless you play the game at a high level.
Stan would beat all us...has won pro events...where the heck is that comping from??? You gotta be the most bent person on here...lol chill a little would you.
Go get his money then....Delta is ready when you are.
Think of how much fun that will be.
And you'll get to meet me and enjoy my charming company too....for I WILL be there for that stellar event.
Rack 'em bub and lets see what you got.
(be sure to bring your film for that photographic memory...………..(if you can find someplace that even sells the stuff anymore) :tongue:

Are you nuts?How about he comes over to your place via delta and Stan can watch and bet on who's going to grab the cheese?
You think his money will be on you and your CTE skills?
Stan would beat all us...has won pro events...where the heck is that comping from??? You gotta be the most bent person on here...lol chill a little would you.
That is the best thing for you to do.Stopped at the opening question. It's starting to play like cult indoctrination.
Are you nuts?
Why would anyone in their right mind bet on ME? I'm nobody...just a hacker. Probably rated at C level.
The challenge was placed by Stan Shuffett toward the donkeys who've bellyached for years about how his studies are all snake oil, bogus, and horsefeathers.
I am only a student who has raised his skill level from D to level C through the intelligent use of CTE aiming. I continue to work at improving and I don't make bad bets. (I'm what pool room bums call a NIT)
What have YOU done lately to improve, bub?
I already know you gripe with the best of them...you don't have to brag on that.
Where's YOUR video of your massive skills?
Even a member of the "Grouchy Posse" has his videos up on YouTube for all to see....he's tedious, full of himself, a braggart, and his concentration skills are weak. But by golly he isn't half bad at the game. (he choked under pressure from Aranas, but he still shoots pretty darn good most of the time.)
So...players are trying to improve with various aiming methods.
What about YOU...or is griping your best game?
