I agree. But as Stan told me his CTE/ProOne course is 5 hours long. So obviously that's a lot more information than is presented in a 90 minute video.
As a CTE user the information I am looking at is hard to digest but it's understandable. There is not any way on this earth that I personally could watch it at home and then go to the pool room and use it.
I had to take my computer to the table and I actually set up on a trash can so I could watch the shots and then try them and not be afraid of running the balls into my laptop.
Stevie Moore demonstrates a shot at 48 minutes, chapter 15 where he shoots the same ball into three different pockets by using the ABC secondary aiming lines. I was able to duplicate all three shots on the first try after watching the DVD twice and then taking it to the table.
In some ways I feel that it might even be a little harder for me to adopt Stan's CTE and ProOne because I am very comfortable with the way I use CTE which is NOT by using the ABC aiming lines in conjunction with the Center to Edge Line.
BUT there are some shots where I don't get there automatically and I feel that this is probably where Stan's ABC lines are what's needed to make SURE that the shot is properly lined up.
This is what I need to work on.
In any event this DVD was not made for the raw beginner. It was made with the people who have reasonably decent fundamentals AND who have spent a little time reading about CTE and Hal Houle's systems. When I put these up for sale on our websites I am going to have to include some links or other information for the consumers to read that will supplement the DVD and give them the basic knowledge they need to understand the content.
