best cte videos on youtube?

I actually watched several of Stan's videos and I found his very difficult to really understand. I think CTE requires animations in order to show what people struggle so much to explain. Honestly, I think the pool-playing community just isn't a very tech-savvy crowd. If it were a major sport, there'd be graphics and animations to make it clear. We just have youtube videos of 60-year olds trying to explain it.

Agreed.
A semi-pro speed player can tell you he's doing this or he's doing that but he might not be doing it all and still make balls all day b/c he has shot thousands of balls and knows when it's a go or no go.

There needs to be graphics and animation to explain it.
Outside of those, you're just likely be more confused.

I really think The Truth Series and The Book will clear everything up. Just have to be patient till they are released.

I hope you are right about this. Imagine.....the 20yr war could actually come to an end! :D

That end of the war will never happen. Guys who spent 20 years of there life putting it down will never admit defeat.
But that's really ok. It would be nice though if they just let people aim how they want. You've seen it here, people have total meltdowns because we like using CTE.

Most of Stans youtube videos, if not all, presuppose that you've watched the DVD's. He's very careful about not giving complete information on any one video. Which is understandable, when you know he's selling the system, but probably frustrating for cheapskates. Also he's changed terminology regarding visuals, probably for the purpose of confusing such people. For what it is worth, the system IS explained on the DVD's, at least I think so, as Stan has said he's going to offer the "Truth" about CTE on a youtube video in the future. I don't know what will be on that video that wasn't offered on the DVD's, but apparently something new will be explained.

He's also in the process of writing a HUGE book on CTE, so I guess you can use that instead.

It's really no point in trying to watch hundreds of videos trying to piece together the system for free. The pace of the video is so slow, you're going to die of boredom before understanding the full picture. If you're really into CTE and are starved for information, you may be able to pick up something from them. I did watch a whole lot of youtube videos when I was experimenting with the system. I have to say, that I didn't learn a whole lot more than was on the DVDs. Maybe the newest videos are better IDK.

If you're that into CTE, you really should buy the system, watch it, and then decide if you want to use it. Maybe you can get a deal on it. Watching 40 hours of tedious youtube videos to save whatever amount he's charging now...I hope people value their time more highly than that. In order to not sound like a complete knocker, the DVD's do move along at a faster pace than the youtube videos, so they should be judged on their own merit. I'm sure you can find a detailed review if you google it.

This is the underlying issue, Stan is no longer selling them and there is NO estimated time frame for the new 'Truth Series'.
Any inside info out there?

seems you are not too far from stan
go spend a weekend with him
jmho
 
I hope you are right, but why do you really think they will clear everything up? Have you seen either or both?

No, I haven't seen either one. I have talked to Stan though and there is a plan in place. If you have questions they will be answered. If you still don't get it then just give up on it and aim some other way would be my advice.

Just be patient? These poor people on facebook who hold Stan in the highest esteem (to put it mildly) have been strung along since 2017 when he said he was going to complete the book. Then, Stan said he had to get the book to the publisher by the first week in September, 2018. That means the publisher he is paying to produce his book has been holding on to it for 8 months and counting. How is that possible?

Because it's a massive size book, and Stan is probably paying for editing services also, which means inevitable corrections, rewordind, reformatting, etc...things that the publisher or editor wants changed, but has to get the "ok" or the "Hell no, leave it like it is!" from Stan.

Then why doesn't he say that instead of that it is in the hands of the publisher and is out of his control?

Ahh children. Just keep guessing and obsessing.

Your obsession is duly noted. Figured you might have gotten help with that while you were banned for a couple months.

No obsessing on my head. I don't care when or if the book comes out. I already know everything about CTE that I need to know. And, knowing the book business pretty well, I can make reasonable assumptions as to why the book is not yet available.

It really is an obsession, almost every CTE thread I come into, same people repeating the same thing, that they have already said 100x times

Hmm, last time cookie the enforcer "duly noted" something I got banned for a month. You have a talent for taking light hearted posts and turning them into something else. At least you are living up to your name.
