I should have said CTE poster boy.
John has been singing the praises of CTE for quite some time now -- probably close to ten years. Just because he just recently took the Pro One course doesn't mean he wasn't already familiar with other versions of CTE. At least not if you base that on his past posts on the subject.
As an independent observer of the match last night I think it's clear that John needs to work much more on his stroke than on anything else.
That's just how I see it.
Wrong.
I didn't even know such a thing as CTE existed until four years ago.
What I sang the praises of is Hal's aiming methods which work fantastically. Do you think I just got lucky on the banks I made?
I dogged it pure and simple. But I am not and never have been the "poster boy" of aiming. Landon Shuffett is that if anyone because he combines his ROCK SOLID fundamentals with a ROCK SOLID aiming method.
You guys are funny, we present you with good and great players who use these methods and you discount them.
Then I say to you and everyone that pool is MORE than aiming, what every aiming system user has said and then I go out and PROVE it by dogging the stroke, rushing etc... and you suddenly act like aiming is everything?
I will continue to talk about it as I want to and I will continue to work on my mental game and my stroke.
I made some awesome shots in that match as well. And dogged a lot of easy ones.
Tell you what, you and everyone else can say what you want but the aiming system works just exactly as it's claimed to work. You can go through life believing it doesn't but if you gamble then some day you will run into a player who uses it and doesn't disclose it.
You will praise that player for his shotmaking. You will call him a great talent. You will give him respect. And that player will wipe you off the table and never tell you what tools he is using.
If I had beaten Lou, then no way in hell you folks would have suddenly changed your minds. So don't act like me dogging balls validates your position if you don't think Landon running over Earl Strickland doesn't validate mine.
