This wasn’t meant to be an “aiming thread.” The original purpose was simply to share my new video dealing with useful principles and shots related to 1/2-ball hits, regardless of how you might aim them:
10 Reasons Why the HALF-BALL HIT is so Important
- Thread starter dr_dave
- Start date
…..but apparently the topic of “pool aiming systems” needs be added to religion and politics as “things you don’t bring up with your family at Thanksgiving”

Is it always the same one or few people or are there a lot of them? From what I can see in this thread, there's only one person derailing it into CTE an unneccessary amount. Haven't been here for long so don't know the patterns yet
The "history" you need to be aware of is that Spider is a conspiracy theorist, and therefore Spider sees a boogeyman around every corner. If you didn't already know, one of azbilliard's side businesses is running an insane asylum, and occasionally the patients get loose.
SWC is the primary instigator. There are a couple of others who sometimes join in.Is it always the same one or few people or are there a lot of them?

Mentioning certain traumatic entropy has become free advertising to those guys. The gist (or jizz) is always, "Buy the book and try it for yourself."Is it always the same one or few people or are there a lot of them?

I'd like to see what Mike Page comes up with.
There are two sides to Dave Alciatore. The good side and the not so good side when it comes to CTE. I have no idea what HIS
problem is with it, the other PBIA Master Instructor who developed it, those who use and tout it, and why he does what he does and says what he says. Has he put a lot of time into creating videos that can help pool players improve their game? Absolutely! Ask him what his problem is with his words and actions.
He does NOT get a free pass to denigrate something that isn't his and also has benefits to pool players all over the world.
I think you have it ass backwards on who the stalker is and who is the stalked. This all started in 1996 and the STALKED
was the creator of CTE, Hal Houle, and then all of those who got involved with it to improve their games.
Another one who has it ass backwards. Dave Alciatore made HIS backhand DAM post first like he always does and he knows
exactly what he's doing.
Be honest with everyone else in here...you know DAM well why you created your bullshit DAM aiming parody back in 2012. It was a sneaky and cutesy way of trying to knock CTE and all posts and threads that were about it 11 years ago. And you also know that I know why you do it and do it on purpose to get your jabs in. You did it again in this thread to start crap and know but can
When have you EVER given credit to the system, the uniqueness of the visuals that reduces all imagination and guesswork to near zero, and praised any part of it? I'll tell you when...NEVER!
How about you give it a try here. What do you really see beneficial about how to see CB to OB alignments by using the center and edges of the CB onto the OB? Pro players are using it very successfully as are thousands of pool players across the world,
thanks to Facebook. Do you have it in you to do that?
Who in here that has posted all of the negativity and bitching regarding the ongoing battles, attacks on me or others who created it, use and tout the method, knows a single solitary facet of how two balls are aligned to each other to make one of them go into a pocket with a very high percentage of accuracy?
For Christ sake, it's only a damn visual aiming method just like contact points, fractions, overlaps, see the shot, Poolology, railroad tracks, and many more.
Why is it so well discussed on Facebook with pool players all across this country and world but not HERE in this forum?
Why is AZB so toxic? Don't say me because it was going on before I even became a member here.

That one's easy. A claim has to stand up to analysis here.
So in other words, AZB is the Supreme Court of pool forums with you, Dave Alciatore, and a couple of chosen others as the Supreme Court appointed judges. Correct?
How about I"LL choose words to describe MY thoughts, and
YOU choose words to describe YOUR thoughts.
When YOU choose words to describe MY thoughts, things get goofy.
Next you'll be asking ME to post a video explaining YOUR gobblygook... Oh, wait. You already did that.

I don't think I ever even hinted as to who I think is anything. I simply laid out my 10 year plan for a bunch of strangers to see. Being somewhat of an introvert, it was hard for me to do that. Dont get me wrong, I very much appreciate your offer, but must regretfully decline. Whenever I reach that goal, I want my stalker to truly be MY stalker. It seems that you're already taken and I'm not some kind of home wrecker that could sleep at night afterwards if I do not earn my stalker on my own merit. So it's back to the practice table for me. I'll keep dreaming. Thank you for the motivation to push on, even though I had to decline. I'll never forget you. Good night, Sweet Prince.
How does that work when my (our thoughts) are censored and banned?
So, what are your thoughts? Haven't you, Alciatore, and other members here been bastardizing and misquoting the thoughts and words of Hal Houle, Stan, and others for two and a half decades? How can it only be OK for one side?
Anybody can give their thoughts and opinion on how a golf club should be swung for maximum distance and accuracy on a golf forum. But the real test comes in the actual live execution to prove it. That's why Youtube grows larger and larger every day.
Not at all. I'm asking for you or anyone else to post a video demonstrating YOUR OWN gobblygook as far as your understanding and implementation of the attacked subject matter. If it can be lambasted and maligned, it should be very easy to do a video and show why.
On a side note, I do have to give you recognition and praise for having made one of the biggest contributions to pool worldwide with your development of the Fargo Rating System. It's like batting averages are to professional baseball players
except that it can be applied to everyone who plays pool regularly whether pro player or amateur.
That's so sweet and thoughtful of you. Sweet dreams.
(Amazing how someone can be a member here for 7 whole months (28 weeks) and know so much about the interactional history and decades of disagreements/agreements for any one person or group for over 20 years)
