Why Center Cue Ball?

These videos should be very enlightening for a student.
Another student asked the other day, somewhere in the aiming forum here, "Why is it necessary to visualize TWO lines? Why not just use one??"
The other student apparently did not realize that the aiming line and the shot line are not the same. The aiming line sets up for the system to take the player INTO the shot line.
Thereby eliminating the "tweaking" or "accepting" when down in full stance. And it especially does away with the traditional thinking of "that looks pretty good"....which is an invitation to doom over the long run.
Good work SpiderMan……...and now the heathen can rage.:wink:

Question I've asked before but not sure I got a reply. Hal's system used 1 line with a pivot and Stan's system uses 2 lines with a pivot. Obviously these two systems will direct the cue ball to a different spot on the object ball, yet both systems claim to send balls to the corners of a table (the pockets) objectively and without any judgment needed from the player. How does that happen and why did Stan feel it was necessary to modify something that Hal claimed all pro's new and kept secret?

Here we go as usual. Knockers doing what knockers know best...KNOCKING.

Here's something all of the knockers can prove which is how inferior CTE is by duplicating the setup Stan did for every shot off the back rail to where he had the OBs placed.

Stan shot 19 balls. Missed 4. Made 15.

Use whatever you do when playing. Poolology, Feel, contact points, arrows, GB, prayer...it doesn't matter.

Make a video illustrating how one of the above with YOU using it is a better way to play the game.

(now starts the tap dancing, back pedaling , whining, crying, excuses, everything known to mankind to deflect the act of actually doing it)

Should be real easy to beat with such a worthless aiming system as CTE...don'tcha think?

Hey Brian...what happened to this post you made only a few days ago...You're right. And I do understand. Imma try harder to keep my nose clean and not pollute your cte threads,

Yep. You're a real stand up guy, man of your word.

You could do a lot of things in your own mind. Nothing is too great for your skills and imagination.
DO IT! The only thing I can do is applaud and praise the effort if you do...not knock it or be a wise ass like some others. There would be one difference...an 8' table vs a 9 foot table. But that's OK. DO IT!

Spiderman..
Still mixing it up with the Grouchy Posse, I see. Won't do any good..."they" know everything about everything. Just ask, and watch 'em pontificate.
By the way...I got a PM from the student from a previous post that I mentioned. I thought my response to him would be worthy of a public comment. If it helps someone other than members of the Grouchy Posse, then that is good. (the Grouchy Posse itself has no hope, of course)
What do you think about the following?
He has read a post from one of the Grouchy Posse that "it was obvious that Hal's method and Stan's method put the cueball at different locations on the object ball and nobody could explain, etc. etc. etc."
I pointed out to him that it wasn't "obvious" at all and it didn't matter WHAT aiming method a player used, the cueball has to arrive at the same spot on the object ball to pocket the shot. Which is the foundation of the "ghost ball" method.
What the un-informed or, as you refer to them, "the wise asses" do not know (or maybe don't want to know) is that CTE aiming produces a visual shot line that is different from the shot line they, with their methods of ghost balls, fractions, etc., see with their eyes when down in position to pull the trigger.
The un-informed must 'adjust' for throw with english or rely on their 'inner talents' to make the shot whereas with the CTE user it is strictly mechanical....without any voodoo, hoodoo, or superman talent.
The CTE user knows there is an AIMING line and that same aiming line, coupled with mechanics (visual or physical) leads the shooter to the SHOTLINE..a shotline which has a very slight overcut to compensate for throw. Therefore allowing CTE to produce a higher percentage success rate over their voodoo-hoodoo methods.
Since I am not a CTE certified instructor, I hope I am right about this. The last thing I want to do is be like the Grouchy Posse and babble about something of which I do not know.
Tell me if I am right or wrong. If I am wrong, point out where, and I will delete this post in a heartbeat. I do not want to further muddy the waters for prospective students. (The Grouchy Posse will do enough of that by themselves)

P.L.
