CTE User Stevie Moore on TAR now

Thumbs up, BAYBEEEE!
How did the CTE work out against Daz? :grin:
I told you guys Daz was gonna torture Stevie. The way they match up just is bad for Stevie. That's one of those playing style collisions. I'd bet Stevie's tournament record versus Appleton is terrible.
My take on the match:
Darren is a world class player and played a world class match. Darren made about 2 mistakes.
Stevie was behind the entire match and CTE had little if anything to do with the outcome. Stevie made very few mistakes but they did cost him.
The balls always seemed to be a little funny for Stevie and it's just plain tough playing from behind like he did with the MO in Darren's favor.
I think it's unfair to characterize Stevie as having been butchered. Stevie is a top player and can win a match against Darren or any other player if he's hittin' on all cylinders.
Stevie's a tough player and he makes great showings all the time against the worlds' best. I tip my hat to him!!

Right Star, so the next time Apps takes a loss we'll know that it was his aim and shoot method :grin-square:
So are you saying that Darren is a world class player and Stevie isn't.
SURELY CTE should make a difference if you are saying that Stevie is less of a player.
The way people talk about it, CTE is really THAT good.
Who knows.
Maybe Stevie would have won the match if he knew the aim and shoot method, and Darren used CTE.

Sure, Stevie's a world class player!
CTE is a strong aiming system. That does not mean a player that uses it will blitz everyone he plays. Aim is just part of the game. There are so many more variables as you well know....It's unfair to say that match was all about aim as you claim.
Stan
Not so good. Stevie missed a couple shots where I would have said screw CTE after that.
Actually to be completely honest it's real hard to use this match and the way Stevie was playing as a testimonial for CTE. Because Stevie's cueball was all over the place and he really looked like he was struggling with every shot.
Daz on the other hand was steady and calm and made most of his shots look easy.
RIGHT!
But only if he loses to a CTE-er.
No you're right Star, Stevie lost due to his CTE play because that's what we all guaranteed right, you'll never lose with CTE
:grinning-moose:
I mean, if CTE is the be all to end all of systems and it touted as the holy grail of aiming, WHY MISS!?!
There are no excuses.
All you CTE secret society guys can save it.
If people miss using CTE, then it's no better then my close-my-eyes-and-use-the-force aiming system.

Like any method it's all about the execution. CTE or Ghost Ball or Stick AIming or any WAY that people choose to use is only as good as the person using it can implement it.
I mean if I am using CTE and SOMETIMES I measure to the inside edge and sometimes to the outside edge and sometimes right on the edge then it's clear that I am not doing it exactly the same every time. Maybe most of the time that tiny variance doesn't matter but maybe sometimes it's critical.
So naturally if I can aim to the edge perfect all the time and deliver a straight stroke then my pocketing percentage will be very high. Same as with any other method I use to align my body to the shot.
Stevie missed two shots in this match where I went WTF??? One was a medium cut shot to the corner and the other one was medium distance shot down the rail with a shallow angle.
A player of his caliber should never miss those shots ever.
However we have all seen top players dog simple shots so it's impossible to credit any specific reason for it.
If CTE people - of which I am one - want to take credit for the wins then we also have to take credit for the losses.
Just on the face of it and comparing the two styles of play WITHOUT KNOWING any other information like their physical states etc.... this match was a poor showing for the virtues of CTE. Some of the shotmaking on Stevie's part was great but his position play was subpar for his level and that forced him into having to make tougher shots. And missing the two relatively easy shots in the way that he did was really unforgivable for a player of his caliber.
I am sticking to it though. I have to lose at least 2-3000 on something before I give up on it!!!!
So if anyone wants some of my CTE money - come and get it
Stan said it best when he mentioned more variables then just aiming. I mean come on, its a pretty silly arguement to base an entire match on the way someone is aiming.
I am not a skilled enough player to analyze the ends and outs of what it takes to win at a pro level or even profess I have one aiming system I rely on, but I believe two world class players, when playing, need more than just an aiming system to surpass the other.

I know this is my 1st post but I want Play Superstar in a challenge match. I am a CTE and a 90/90 user and it would be great to split Superstar's wig online. So basically how do I go about doing this?
There are other variables besides aiming. Yet once again people jump on CTE. Even those who use and support the system in other threads and come back in this thread and qualify their initial posts. Amazing. This must really irritate Stan. Just the nature of the beast I guess.
Get used to disappointment.
You can keep your CTE 90/90 and go become the #1 player in the universe for all i care.
I'm not challenging anyone, nor am i saying that i am better then anyone, so you can save it for someone that actually cares.
Seems like every other thread is a "LETS PUMP UP CTE WHENEVER POSSIBLE" Groupie-fest that goes on whenever someone mentioned CTE.
You CTE-ers just like to hear yourself talk and get off on how everyone who wants to learn, wants to worship the ground you walk on, for a possible GLIMPSE at the "Holy Grail" of aiming (yeah, whatever)
Get over yourselves already.
Someone just mentions CTE and you guys wet yourselves.

I understand what your saying. But I also think its natural to root for someone that does/endorses something you do. IE, root for a motorcycle driver that rides the same brand of bike you do for example.
