I don’t recall details of conversations from two years ago. But one thing is certain, you don’t seem to (or want to) grasp that CTE works when applied to visual perspectives (ie. our eyeballs standing at a table behind the CB), and not protractors and angles on a sheet of paper. Of course it works for all shots, otherwise I would have dismissed it years ago. It is quite easily demonstrated at a table. However, it is impossible to explain to someone through an online forum with a predisposition that it can’t work.
Thank you.
This bigotry and hatred against CTE Aiming has been going on for as long as I've been around here.
"The Putdown Posse" never seems to grasp that if it didn't work, people who use it would dismiss it............as you stated.
The system, when implemented as instructed, does nothing more than send the cueball to their "ghostball" position in a precise, defined, organized manner....over and over and over again.
In fact, that's all ANY system attempts to do when you get right down to it and that's all any system of aiming
CAN DO.
I do not like the Poolology method of aiming shots, it's too complicated for me, but it
apparently works for a lot of people, seeing as how that guy sells a lot of his books and it's entire purpose is to take the cueball to the ghostball position in a defined, precise, manner. Nothing more..nothing less.
For decades I used a half-ass "fraction" method of shooting (with marginal results). I never even heard of any "ghostball" until I came to this website. I watched as instructors took another ball and placed it next to the object ball on a straight line to the pocket.
Then they removed that extra ball and said...."just imagine that the ball I removed is still there, shoot at it, and with practice , you will make many shots."
That all reads very good, but I never was able to visualize another ghost ball laying down there...I couldn't see it.
The CTE Method gave me a precise, defined, consistent way to send that cueball down the table to that "ghostball" spot over and over and over and over. Plus I could actually see the different perceptions down there and didn't have to "visualize" or "imagine" a thing.
Those who say "please explain it....prove how it works.....it is unscientific" need to simply watch Stan Shuffett's videos on YouTube. The videos explain it. They show him making shot after shot with it while demonstrating. A pretty good start would be to enter this: (
CTE takes the player to the correct shot angle) into YouTube and begin the study
If someone cannot grasp it after that, then it's their problem...not CTE.
All they have to do is leave it alone, do whatever they choose to do, stop thinking they're crusaders for justice(?), and stop the endless trashing. It is a futile effort on the part of the "Putdown Posse".....CTE will be around long after they are all dead and gone. And judging by the ages of some of them and their mental and emotional conditions, that won't be too far off.
The "Putdown Posse" is so filled with hatred and bigotry toward Stan Shuffett to the point they cannot see the forest for the trees
