IMHO CTE is the real deal if you give it some time, and energy!
Found this question from Hal Houle (screen name is anyway) to Johnny Archer. Thought it was funny/interesting so here it is:
"When players write to you, asking how to aim, your pat answer is to say that you get three feet back from the shot, then you shoot parallel lines. That is all hogwash. That is not how you aim. Why don't you level with these recreational players? You use the aiming system whereby you aim the center of the cue ball at the edge of the object ball for any and all shots. You know exactly what I am talking about. We both know about placing the cue tip either left or right of cue ball center, and you know why we do that. Get honest for a change. These recreational players are no threat. Tell them the truth." - Hal Houle
I really don't know why you keep writing about my aiming system. Everybody that is listening, IT IS MY AIMING SYSTEM. I hope this would relieve some pressure that you have. Thanks, Johnny

Im not positive but i think Archer system is nothing like Hals.
Hal could have been mistaken, that's for sure. But if I get Johnny in the commentary booth, he will be obligated by contract to give up the goodies to JoeyA. :idea:
Secondly, if Johnny doesn't pivot, air or land, then he's never drank the kool-aid. :nono:
JoeyA
Where is the link??
Joey is that little yellow man giving me the bird? LoL...
If those are true quotes, that's got to be some of the craziest stuff I've ever heard. Was Hal Houle (an unknown) really telling Johnny Archer (a World Champion) that Johnny does not use the aiming system he claims to use, but instead uses Hal's system, and then lies about it to recreational players?
I hope I read that wrong.

That's how I read it, but it could be an IMPOSTER using Hals' name...
Here is the link in reference.

Anyone that would like to try my interpretation of CTE from all of this mess...
Send me a PM with your email address and I will send you a ONE PAGE PDF WITH EASY TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. Is it "the real deal"? Who knows? But it is working for me.

No, that was definitely Hal. He told me he posted that when I was talking to him. He's a funny old bird.
CTE and english?
I believe the allowance is made during the original lineup. So, if you want outside English on the resultant shot, you align slightly outside on both the Center Ball and also to the closest point to the Object ball.
Seems to be working so far, but I have just started modifying.
If you normally use the edge of your ferule for aiming, then offsetting by 1/2 ferule tip will end up with a shot after pivot that you recognize.

Forces you to get the eyes in the correct position.....
CTE forces players to get the eyes in the correct position. This is why it works. The players that don't seem to think it works don't really know how to apply it completely on every shot.
If you don't do it right it will not get the eyes in the right position.
The reason we miss shots and get down on a shot and it doesn't look good is because the non dominant eye is usually partly in the position that would make that eye the dominant eye.
This is just the way it is. It would be meaningless to try to explain it here because nobody would know even what I'm talking about but that is the whole problem.
That's it............

Through this thread and some phone conversations,spideys page and help verbally from spidey.I finally am having success with CTE .When ever you line up you will always land your tip at center ball,and then you are in deadline with the shot ,after that I use BHE and dont realign .I made a statement to someone on here about I didnt think this would b possible.but it is and I am thrilled to have this new technique .I wish I had learned this years ago
Are you saying that CTE won't work unless it's used in conjunction with Perfect Aim?
