Thx, Stevie. Yes, I have worked hard but others come to mind.

I'm not an aiming system user.... But I like to keep up with the latest news, systems, gadgets, videos, etc.
I'm confused because you are referring to this system as "Real CTE". Is this a new system, or a rebranding of your prior "CTE/Pro 1".
Thank you.

No rebrand, CTE PRO ONE is real CTE. My work will show that CTE is of another dimension as Hal indicated many years ago. I am just 2 years down the road and want to put my new info there. System does not change.
If you are ever in the KY area sometime, I do not mind demoing the realness of CTE for you. (DVD release time)
Stan Shuffett
Oops, saw my question was already asked and answered... I missed it. Good luck with your system. If I ever decide to try a system, it might be yours
You should fly out to Colorado sometime. We can play some sets, for cheap or just for pride.
If somehow you were able to keep an open mind, I'd be more than happy to teach you a few things about CTE.
I am aware not every one has an open mind an also that everyone has not had the same training nor the same amount of time Ive had with real CTE. I do believe every person that plays pool could benefit from this system and improve their game much further than a subjective way of aiming like ghostball and contact point aiming. As far as I'm concerned those ways are very ancient and will inhibit a persons true talent.

You get the point.
At dinner last night I mentioned this and my wife said, "He should give a free copy to everyone who bought the first DVD."
Lou Figueroa
Well, since the "real" CTE DVD is not out yet, of course no one has any time or training with the system.
Lou Figueroa
what did we get before...
Unreal CTE
Not Really CTE
Fake CTE
Wanna be CTE
CTE Lite
A very fair question, Lou.
If my assertions are true that real CTE connects with the geometry of a table then instruction will be greatly influenced. Objective visual alignments can be taught as well as defined physical movements into CCB. So, I think that one day standardization can be a direct result of CTE's objectivity and how it connects balls to the pockets. Much about this on my DVD. Again, I will share with you at my home or any AZ member as long as I have the energy which I hope can be for many years.
There is much more and I will elaborate on this at a latter time.
During commentary on 14.1, a break shot could be analyzed with visual objectivity and accurately. The players movements, right or left can be predicted and described. There is significant detail for this that I will present.
I can view an accustats now and discuss the match from a CTE perspective. Would love to do that one day for the CTE players.
Overall skill levels will improve. I know that I can assist you with furthering your banking ability in one pocket and you are a very advanced skill-wise.
I am just simply going to connect you in stronger way with the table. I will go out on a limb and bet I can get John Brumback's attention real quick and he's the best. The problem is, there is a mind set that this can't be. So, it's overlooked by many and I understand. It was never supposed to be. Hal told me that I would be a target if I released this info. I asked Hal if I'd need a gun and he laughed and said no but you'll see.
This system is accurate on all tables from bar box to the 6x12.
I could go on but these come to mind for now.
Again, good question.

Lou,
Perhaps, BD, should send Nick Varner my way to check out CTE PRO ONE. Nick has already said that aiming should be a life-long pursuit.
If he comes my way, then he'll see something very special about aiming. That could give him a series of articles to write about. (Brainstorming what to write about from month to month can't be easy.)
If I am Mr. Snake Oil, then who better to tear my playhouse down.
But, there's that mind-set....can't be.
CTE PRO ONE is real and it's in all 50 states and 25 plus countries.
It's not going to go away.

Stan,
I understand you are pumped about your product and you've put your heart and soul in it plus a lot of time. Ive been working in the same field for awhile myself..aiming. I havent delved into the cte realm but I have something I view as new, cutting edge that I havent realeased and due to the fact that Im not a big computer program guy I actually may not release it but just give private lessons on it, because thats what I want to do with it. CTE is fairly complicated given the threads dedicated to it and your technical assistance given and yes I do realize you have discovered more and more about it just as I have what I do.
What I would like is for you to have someone who is a CTE er and just have them contact me and lets go play on Friday.
I want no explanation of what is going on. I just want to play my game and watch what the CTE guy does. This way I am totally unaffected about my stance on CTE and can come away from it with a totally unbiased opinion. It doesnt matter to me whether I win the match or not.
Im going to be looking at the things he does. How he approaches the table, what shots he misses, how he mangages to get position, how he handles safeties and banks, his fundamentals are they sound, how he does his position planning.
You know there is a lot more to the game that just aim but the aiming piece is where it all springs from. A good understanding of what you do no matter what it is must be had. I would prefer that this person would have learned to play pool from learning cte in a basic sense therefore he is dedicated just to it.
If you come up with someone have them call me. You have my phone number. Im not going to come on here and trash your method if I beat the guy thats not what Im after. I do things differently and just want to see for myself how this thing works on the table when Im playing opposite it.
Im a decent player for a guy who works 2 or 3 jobs....so you know how much time I have. So the winning piece of it isnt as important to me as one might think. There is a whole lot to pool and the decision making piece is something hard to program, it has a lot to do with confidence.

I asked Nick in person a year ago if he had heard of CTE, he said no. It would be interesting to hear his take on it.
The problem, IMO, is that these were the same claims made previously and did not come true.
What's different?
Lou Figueroa
It's not a question of being friends or enemies. The question was, to put it in other words: If what you are releasing is "real" CTE, what did we get with DVD #1?
What's different? What was wrong with DVD #1?
Lou Figueroa
I think you hit the nail on the head here, and a lot of people don't recognize this simple but important clue. I can attest from changing the way I aim, I am able to once again begin advancing my game on every level after many stagnant years of play.
After all the aiming work is done (whether using CTE or some other method), the end result is that your body/head/eyes are all in perfect alignment for the given shot. The ability to get there in a repeatable, consistent manner is what it's all about.
For me, the clear bell ringer for CTE is it's objectivity. I can avoid those "off" days because now I address the ball in a repeatable, consistent routine that is highly objective using the edges and centers of balls.
