CTE Stepping Cue Ball.

We have to remember who you are and where you've been. In 1997 YOU fired the first FLAME SHOT at Hal Houle on RSB.
YOU have pissed away 1/3 of your life doing the same thing as the CULT LEADER of the Anti-CTE Cult almost daily since then.
Of course, you're going to post "lol" and one of the cutesy little jabs to save face after all these years and keep some semblance of the cult still in place. I hate to remind you that it exceeds 2000 to about 8 against your moronic gang. And the 2000 is constantly growing worldwide. LMAO
Who is Hal Houle? When I Google him I only thing these threads.
Depends on whether the cut is to the left or right.
I used to play exactly the way you did for many years. I know what to look for, to see, and what to shoot at using Contact point, fractions, GB or overlaps, just "see the shot". I'm not a newbie at this game.
If Poolology is your back up or go to method, I say good for you. Use what works. I made the switch years ago after talking to Hal Houle and meeting him as he guided me through it. Stan took it further after Hal passed away. I'm very happy and I hope you are also.
I'm very happy and glad you are.
I personally see zero value in having your head in different places for each shot. I always see pros with their head in the exact same position in relationship to the cue every single shot. Pool is a game about constancy in my book.
If you can play the game with the mechanics of a robot you'd play perfect pool.
He's the inventor of the "3-angle system" (actually a "mystified" version of fractional aiming) and the nonsense explanations (see below) from which CTE "grew".

A wonderful man and beautiful person who created CTE and about 20 other aiming systems introduced in 1997. He did it by going far outside the box in his thinking and performance of them. Which it the main part that causes all of this daily
horseshit of battling about how to make balls on a pool table with a different way of visualizing compared to the
"normal, standard, or old tried and true" methods. He was vilified and attacked for years as well as those who wanted to learn and perform the methods. Stan Shuffett has been the new target for over a decade now. SICK, SICK, SICK!!
There are a number of pro players using CTE Pro1 with Tyler Styer being one of the. Landon Shuffett, Stan son, had the greatest Junior record of anyone ever and he used CTE from age 12 through college.
Scroll down to Stan Shuffett: https://playbetterbilliards.com/learn/masterinstructors/
Btw, if you're really interested and want to make a comparison, ask Pat Johnson, Dan White, Joey Bautista, and a few other lifetime trolls and knockers who live here, what THEIR accomplishments have been in the REAL WORLD OF POOL whether it's tournaments, gambling, or even league play. I'll save you the time. IT'S ZIP, NADA, ZERO, CA-CA. They're ALL forum experts
on everything pool and trolls/knockers if it doesn't fit their agenda. I hope you don't fall into that trap. But your choice.

I always see there heads in the same spot in relation too the cue.
Tyler always had his cue under the left side of his chin. This goes back to when he was a junior.
Mosconi cups? National titles? Ranking? Personal trainer for x,y,z for x years?
I guess I should have asked what his pool resume is, not the politics around him.
Read to the very end of the story about Tyler being pissed off at this writer for claiming something negative about CTE and him using it: https://www.sneakypetemafia.com/post/who-is-tyler-styer-~-by-patrick-the-tallahassee-squirrel-sampey
Tyler himself: “Truth of the matter is Stan Shuffett is the one and only guy who has Center-to-Edge Aiming right. It’s a great system and I’ve been using Center-to-Edge Aiming since I was 18 and I’d never aim any other way.”—Pro Player Tyler Styer
If you're going to try dragging me into a pissing contest based on what you think you see and believe because you don't know what CTE is about and think it's garbage or I'm lying, this is over. I've been very cordial and truthful with you.

What I think I see?
I guess my eyes must be lying to me because every picture I see of Tyler shows his cue and head in the exact same position, every time, his entire life.
You are claiming the head is in a different position based on left, right cuts, visuals. Then you pointed to Tyler as an example.
I then googled pictures of his shooting and his head is always in the exact same position.
I say consistency is most important, Tyler consistently puts his head in the exact same position, every time.
There was no such thing as a Mosconi Cup. Mosconi was just starting to make a name for himself in the world of pool.
Hal was on the road with Ralph Greenleaf for years. You sound too young to even know who he was. A WORLD CHAMPION
pool player. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Greenleaf
Hal learned from HIM. And, Hal could definitely play! I saw it and played with him before he became really ill.

Call Tyler and ask him yourself. Tyler has spent many hours (DAYS) with Stan at his teaching studio and has said so in public.
Yes, Tyler is consistent. He CONSISTENTLY USES CTE PRO1 ON EVERY SHOT.
I never claimed he didn't use CTE or took lessons from Stan, did I? If you can show me where I said this, then it would make sense to point out that he spends days training with Stan. If I didn't say that, then what is your point of saying any of that?
You claimed the head is in a different relationship to the cue based on the shot. Then used Tyler as an example.
I stated, I can find zero evidence for that. All the evidence I can find shows his head in the exact same spot his entire life.
So, are we in agreement that he DOES use CTE as he has stated many times over on different media or do you believe Tyler is lying...I'm lying...Stan is lying...as well as anybody who makes the statement is lying that he does?
I said his head is consistently in the same place every time.
That is all I said, correct?
Is it a requirement of CTE to have your head in different places in relationship to your cue for different shots?
No. What is important is to be able to see two connections in a correct precise alignment with the CB and OB being shot for whatever the cut angle might be. You don't think about the head. You think about what the eyes are telling you to do. Which means you may have to get into the correct position consciously due to something you aren't used to doing and it will be different. It more than likely will NOT be in the same position you're using currently. If you're as happy as could be with your current level of play, stick to what you're doing.
Watch and listen to the videos on youtube illustrated by Stan on the very question you have. CTE Truth Series.
Before you said your head is in different positions based on the shot type, cut left or right.
Now, you said no?
Which is it?
Go watch the videos and see for yourself.
