Actually. John is a top choice.
Please send him. Please, Lou.
Just make sure he can come well before any competitions or after a major competition.
John is fun! I hope it can happen.
Thanks, Lou!

Just more marketing claims that can not be proved.
Only thing that improves a persons game is practice and the system used is not important, unless you are selling said system, then you get all these claims about how said system is the greatest.
Funny how all these systems put you at ghostball and over time you will be using ghostball but think you really are using x system. Youll just start to see whete the CB needs to be.
But most on this forum are to lazy to really put in the time it takes to play.great pool, so they use a system in hopes that will make up for their lack of practice.

Lou,
If there are other top players out there that are sincerely interested in real CTE, they can contact me for training. I love what I do and I want to share with all.
I hope that I can schedule at least a couple of top pros for training during 2013.

Mr Shuffett,
When you talk about connecting to table geometry are you referring to a system that determines the fullness of the hit based on the diamonds the cue ball and object ball are lined up with and the distance from the object ball to the pocket?

Here, I'll let you convince yourself.
If all these systems put you at the ghostball, and people can't visualize/perceive the ghost ball without a goofy Cranfield Arrow, basic logic tells you the system is superior to ghost ball.
This sounds like a troll but I'll bite. There are also those on the forum that lack the knowledge of a said system and blindly refute the idea that it could be beneficial. We boast that all roads lead to rome (ie ghostball) and raise our noses at the idea that some roads are better than others, may be even some not-so-well travelled. And god forbid we actually pay a nominal fee for information that someone else spent years of time and trouble to acquire! Surely this must be snake-oil!
I use it and it is very reliable. As for not putting in time, I have 200hrs with Pro One - it is much more consistent than my aiming by feel.
The consistent position and movement into the shot is awesome! Not to mention it is much easier to get to centre ball, less unwanted siding etc.
It isn't for everyone and it takes work - but IMO it is worth it. I am still working hard on this each day. My 7 year old told me the other day when we were playing that he was using Pro One
I no longer am overly concerned with the object ball - get my alignment and move to center cue ball.

This is an explanation that will be on DVD or I can personally show you for no charge at my home no later than spring.
The system takes you to the shot which means the pockets.
Stan Shuffett
Stan will you describe on your new DVD the connection between the dominant eye and CTE Pro One?
I feel this was something missing from your first DVD - I think you wanted to avoid creating confusion, but after many hours with ProOne I feel that the system helps my dominant eye staying dominant (from the standing address and acquiring visuals all the way to getting down and addressing the cue ball) for each and every type of cut - this is also why Pro One really straightens your stroke as you say.

CCB is your target. CCB is your primary focus. It is quite easy for most people to see CCB. Hal once used the word obfuscation with me concerning the OB. He was right and the more I play the more it rings true. Center cue ball represents the shot. If you start tweaking to get the OB to look right you got a long road ahead of you. The game is so much easier with a CCB mindset.
Yes, I do discuss the above in my DVD.

Mr. Shuffett,
Thanks. I went out to play yesterday & woke up late today & wow this has really taken off.
I hear what you are saying & if one is tuely on center line as CTE should bring you then there is some allowance for a very slight off center CB hit.
I am not a system kind of guy other than subconsciously using a mirrored fractional overlap but I am very intrigued by what I have read & by my limited experimentation with it. I know that I do not have a complete understanding of the process. However my intrigue will certainly make me pursue it.
Thanks again,

Thanks, Rick.
Very nice comment.
Appreciate it!
I have been intrigued for years and wonder if it ever stops.
Stan Shuffett
Robin, you can probably get most of what you are after by watching some of Stevie Moore's matches or even Landon Shuffett's -- see YouTube. That's not an in-person experience, but you'll be able to stop the video, go back, etc.
I said I'd rather send John vs Nick, not that I would send either ;-)
Lou Figueroa
guess we're not going to learn the difference
between real CTE and non-real CTE
I haven't heard a straight answer either, but I'm guessing "Real CTE" is a term to distinguish ProOne CTE from other flavors floating around like 90/90.
Lou,
I am sure you do not want to learn the difference. It does not matter to me.
Stan Shuffett
Absolutely you have been straight with me!
I'm just referring specifically to "Real CTE" and what it is: is that simply the CTE you teach, or something new/different about the upcoming DVD?Absolutely you have been straight with me!
It is this simple. Real CTE is geometric in that it connects you with the pockets. CTE takes you to the shot line or not. I offered you a one day session to explain this to you. (Demo and instruction)
Not. Real CTE: 1 simple example.
If I see a a CTEL as a true 30 degree angle and make shots from that perspective, all I am doing adjusting to make shots. That is not how CTE works as one example. I could go on. Just because a system has a CTE line in it means very little.
I do not think that 90/90 is even purported by Ron to be a true CTE system.

It is correct that Ron does not use the term "CTE" in his system.
