Another thought

Does anyone know a Pro pool player that cares about the science in his aiming process. I mean all you really hear from a Pro is i just do it. With the exception of Efren of course. There is testimony that he teaches centers and edges from a credible source.

You don't have to know or care about "the science" in order to play well - but that doesn't invalidate it. Some do better understanding it; some do better pretending it's something else; some do better ignoring the whole topic.

And...

The issue/point is that something should not be said to be what it is not in order to entice people to pursue what does not exist. The pool world does not consist of just Pros. In fact Pros are only a very small portion of the entirety of The Game.

Agreed. Shit that's twice today. A new record.

So Efren shouldn't say centers and edges

So... you seem to admit that those are not REAL "objective" points that can actually be seen.

Where did i admit that? lol. Visible centers and edges are all i use. And they are used objectively and i can see them

Look up "seems' in a dictionary.

PS I am not one to argue about center ball because there are much larger fish to fry, but if 100 people were asked to mark CCB via looking at the ball from the same perspective those marks would not be consistent. That basically means that CCB can not objectively be determined. Some may be able to do it consistently, but not everyone can. That rather makes determining such a subjective thing.

While this would be true of people in general, it would not be true for experienced CTE users. Our CCB is clearly defined and consistently found. Sorry, but you don't know what you don't know

I was not referring to the supposed fixed CCB. I was referring to the CCB for the determining the CTE line... & it seemed that so were you.

It just seems that you don't really know what you are talking about. Just making things up to fit your agenda

I'm sorry, but that is just BS.
Like I said, I am not one to argue that the CCB is not objective for determining the CTE line because there are much larger fish to fry, but in reality it really is not. There is no marker to differentiate it & it must be determined. The same goes for A, B, & C, but I am not one to argue they are not objective, but in reality they are not...unless the stripe of a ball is perfectly vertical with the edge of the stripe designating A & C. Without that one is determining the A, B, & C locations by subjective means. Your center half may be slight larger than mine or vise versa.

 

[cookie man]

The edge of the stripe isn't used in CTE, sorry wrong again
