He has no idea how to use CTE, he still argues that it's a fractional system.What kind of answer is that? Quite playing games , give me a number

They both use ETA for the straight in shot or is the red ball ETB?They both do go in the upper corner pocket. They both also bank in the upper corner pocket. They do not go in the lower corner pockets using CTE
Forgive me the occasional typo. Obviously I meant ETC not CTC. The point is that with 6 inches cut off the bottom the corner pocket is now 2.5 diamonds from the yellow ball and 1.5 diamonds from the red ball. Why is there no solution for this shot?We don't use CTC with CTE. First you ask to fudge the table, then you want to fudge the system. Wait i'll try the shots with a baseball bat and a hockey puck, would that make you happy,lol.
Seriously whether you guys believe it or not, CTE connects to the pockets exactly as Stan says. You and your friends expert minds haven't proven anything different. Lots of keyboard thoughts don't change that. You haven't even posted a keyboard drawing that would invalidate Stan's claim.
And all this garbage about changing the size of the table makes Stan's claim more and more valid. It shows that you have ZERO evidence to dispute it.
For me it didn't take hours. I knew after 10 minutes with Hal that you had to vary the pivot to make shots go in.How many hours have you spent at the table using/trying cte? Just a number please.
CTE would work for one side or the other, not both. The system works in it's entirety on a 2x1 surface, period.Forgive me the occasional typo. Obviously I meant ETC not CTC.

So after ten minutes you quit?For me it didn't take hours. I knew after 10 minutes with Hal that you had to vary the pivot to make shots go in.
It doesn't even take a second. It's obvious without knowing anything about it that it's the only way possible. Why? Because no system can precisely define all (or even a respectable fraction of) the alignments needed in pool - it always takes some experience-based estimation to finish the alignment. In fact, that's the crucial part of every aiming task using every method.For me it didn't take hours. I knew after 10 minutes with Hal that you had to vary the pivot to make shots go in.

How many do you think it takes to understand what I've said about it?What does (give me one) mean? Simple answer, how many hours did you spend trying to understand CTE
I gotta say, after reading this post a few times along with that other guys post about chopping sides off the pool table to test out a system i had to walk outside. Yes indeed, a full moon. Should have known. The crazies are out in full force,lol.It doesn't even take a second. It's obvious without knowing anything about it that it's the only way possible. Why?

The main problem discussing CTE with its users is that none of them can see that obvious fact, and they think they're being attacked when it's pointed out. Hopefully some of the non-users reading here get it - if they don't, then CTE might be for them.

The idea seems to be to sell around this trivial detail. Ironically if you cut to a world where cortical cybernatics define the species, CTE can have relevance as a preparatory step.It doesn't even take a second.

I don't know, I have been using it since 2013ish.How many hours have you spent at the table using/trying cte? Just a number please.
Fits almost perfectly.![]()
Definition of OBJECTIVE
expressing or dealing with facts or conditions as perceived without distortion by personal feelings, prejudices, or interpretations; limited to choices of fixed alternatives and reducing subjective factors to a minimum… See the full definitionwww.merriam-webster.com
CTE seems a little short on qualifications.
Many.How many systems do you think might work "objectively"?

So you're not going to provide the information?And of course he'll need to have the target pocket clearly in view too - which proves the opposite of what you claim.

Funny, you haven’t answered mine either...That's not an answer to my question.
How many systems do you think might work "objectively"?
So CTE isn’t special in that regard?Many.
The naysayers never answer questions.That's not an answer to my question.
