Thank you for consolidating those quotes. Now I just have to insert Stan's non answers for comparison. My questions were not demands. Stan offered to answer any question so I asked one. He didn't answer it.

I sure did, in great detail at that. What’s so hard to grasp that an overcut alignment can handle a finesse shot with center cue ball minus any adjustment. It’s a shot option and I exercise it often. The speed can also be cranked up without adjustment. The overcut line is exactly why Hal Houle referred to CTE as a center pocket system.

Yea all those derogatory posts and yet you think your questions, that have already been answered over and over, should be answered again because the original answers are the truth but don't fit your agenda,lol.
It's not the answer he wants to hear nor does it meet his approval as a 'professional instructor/player' who has reached the pinnacle of both accomplishments within the top tier of those who have.
He is a professional instructor/player, isn't he?
I fail to see how he could possibly give you a more detailed answer.
I don't know why, but I just don't get it. Maybe you can repeat what Stan said in your own words? The question is this: Given that the ball throws different amounts when hit soft vs hard, how do you pocket a ball center pocket each time using CTE without making any adjustments?

This all makes perfect sense -- no fluff, no system magic. The system accounts for a normal amount of throw, like a few other systems, by providing a slight overcut. And you're saying a CTE player deals with excessive throw in the same manner as any player does with any aiming method, by using little outside english to counter the throw, or a lot of back spin to decrease the CIT, or a little inside english to squirt the cb a touch so that it strikes the ob a touch thinner.
That's a good answer, and I'm sure Dan would agree.
wanna bet? lol
I'm with you! Here's what I think is going to happen...

To further clarify. CTE yields a constant overcut alignment which leads to many, many CCB alignments minus any adjustment. That is one of the many beauties of CTE .
What I’m saying is if I’m going to execute a stun, I might add a TOI. Stun can be problematic with the overcut. Stun can be a booger.
Bottom line: If the goal is just making the ball, most all shots go with CTE to center pocket using CCB without adjustment. That’s huge!

Where do you find the time lmao.
Takes a lot less time than typing answers 50 times to the same questions and problems that have already been answered.
Lol. Yes, a "booger", because it can push a ball several degrees off line, creating a much thicker shot than intended.

It's really going to be exciting when all of that is visible for free in your Truth Series.
I've stumbled on to some of that myself through pure dumb luck, making notes of experiments, and watching Efren like a hawk.
I've read every pool shooting book I could ever find and I NEVER saw any writer or even any instructor commentate and discuss energy transfer to pool balls like you have done with these last few posts showing the + and - of strokes and tip positions.
I salute you, Stan, you are truly a remarkable man.
I will plug PBIA instructors here. Most all are fairly well schooled in this area.

Not like you do it when you adjust by just hitting it a little thinner.
I don’t have to think about it, not one little bit.

Still no answer...
You seem like a decent guy, Stan, but maybe a little too stubborn to accept that you don't really understand the "objective" vs. "subjective" issue - your continued dodging of questions about it makes that pretty clear.
Maybe you should try thinking about it a little bit.

Here we are again. I know the system and you don’t. You’re firing blanks.
You’ll just have to wait for my TS and book.
I do appreciate the simplicity of your debate style.
