Great decision. I've done likewise but taken it one step further with no forums. Just a group of my friends all bitching about the same things in unison and no discord.
Thank you. I appreciate the thought and comment.
LOL! Stay here as long as I have and eventually it might catch up to you, but more than likely not. I have a strong loyalty to my closest friends who are excellent instructors, players, and creators of a method to pocket pool balls with extremely high accuracy called CTE. The three letters by itself makes blood pressure rise and brains ready to explode for those who fall for the
negative crap about it.
From day 1 it was attacked and maligned back in the mid to late 90's by someone who still remains on pool forums today doing exactly the same thing with a group of followers. Why? Does it even make the slightest bit of sense?
What I do in my "real life" is think way outside the box to create, invent ways to make life more normal and easier for those
less fortunate and don't have the physical ability to do what we find natural and take for granted.
When I was first exposed to CTE by Hal Houle, this "outside the box" way of aligning two balls to make one go straight into a pocket over and over was right up my alley. No math, no geometry, no trig, no contact points, no imagination, no guesswork...just straight forward simple visuals between two balls and a pocket using the center and edge of the CB. Seriously, how complicated is that?
So, you tell me? You're making pool cues. Let's say you discovered a way or method of doing something in the construction
process of the butt or shaft that's quite unique and KNOW it to be beneficial to the feel or playability of the cue. You share your secret with some others, and they start telling you that it can't be done, shouldn't be done, you're a friggin' fu***** idiot...
how might you react?
(thanks for giving me the opportunity to vent and tell it like it is) Maybe someone will jump on it to start another flame war or ban.
