Nor defined.Honestly, and I'm not a CTE user, the perceptions aren't difficult, not mysterious.
JC - I said I was trolling....come on man.
Stan has makes claims in the past that several great players were using CTE but they just didn't know it.
Yup. That is if we believe Low since he was the one who posted it for Stan.
Truth is everyone is using the ghost ball in one form or another to visualize where the cue ball and object ball are going.
Nor defined.
My "perceptions" using contact points or any other aiming method aren't difficult (after lots of practice) or mysterious either.

"Defined to me" just means (again) "I know it when I see it". That describes the end result of every aiming method, including "entirely by feel".They are somewhat defined to me.

Define it for somebody else (like you successfully do with Poolology).

For me, for 90% of the shots I use, my angles are based of an edge to edge or edge to center then pivot
True true. Learning how to aim is only a small factor. Learning how to aim while using spin to get shape, doing the above while learning speed control,having a good stroke and the ability to see the patterns are all factors to be learned and practiced.
Learn how to do it and then hit balls using your arm wants to fall off...then repeat.
How do you tell someone what you're seeing when you "use the two line visual and then focus in on what Stan calles a 'fixed' ccb"? If the system doesn't describe it objectively enough so that they can immediately see it too (like the edge of the ob), then it isn't "defined" by the system....once you know how to use the two line visual and then focus in on what Stan calls a "fixed" ccb, it is no less defined than telling someone to aim at the edge of the ob.

Everyone would love to buy a magic bean stalk, or magic cue. Truth is none are real, but many sales people, great sales people will sell you one if you buy their pitch.
Recall this guy from El Paso, Texas they called "Fat Ralph", he was a fixture at the BCAPL 8 Ball thing in Las Vegas practice area. People lined up to play him, donating to his wallet.
His Cue was some old dog sneak Pete with the handle held to get her with duck tape, his case was from maybe some thrift shop $5.00 special.
But the man could play pool, seldom lost, but he was smart enough to play people who thought they were world class, with money to blow.
Saw Fat Ralph in PHX on his way home come into this bar, played two guy for $100.00 each race to 7 or was it 9 in 9 Ball. Made $200.00, walk out in like 20-25 minutes, the local hot shot did not get many shots.
Ive been curious on how well these cte guys play to, none can produce a video but they sure can of the pros who do...lol. not sure if any of them suk but how hard is it with these smart phones to produce of video of your play.
Bottom line is you have to use some system to aim, if you keep switching systems, you will be like someone who complains about sore feet. Because he or she never let their shoes break in. First the shoe has to fit right, second it takes time to break in shoes, then they feel & become comfortable.
The cartoon above is funny, beware of people who sell "their systems", unless they offer a money back guarantee.
System salespeople are profit driven, its like thinking a car salesmen is working to get you the best deal. Because they said so, believe that, I will sell you the title to the Brookline Bridge. BS they are work to get the dealership the most profit, because the more profit, the more Comission the salespersongets paid.
It not just Amiming System it everything from Cues, Cases, Chalk, Bridges, or other for profit gizmos. Pool is a game of skill, not a game won by the person with the pretties Cue made by some maker with a 10 year wait.
Number of Cues, Cases, Pool Gizmo Collecting is just that a hobby collecting something. Enjoy your hobby if that is your hobby.
