I think it solves everything
We already have a test, several of them. Colin Colenso's pocketing test, highest score, CTE user.
Dr. Dave's Billiard University, highest score, CTE user.
I don't understand something, we all agree that aiming is only ONE part of playing and yet supposedly matching up is supposed to prove that one aiming system is better than another?
Take the objective pocketing tests and beat the scores of the top system aimers first. Like when we were kids in the arcades, got to beat the high score to be able to put your name on top.
I am all for matching up but that doesn't solve anything.
JB,
I understand what youre saying, you may or may not have a valid point I will agree not to argue that.
I think having some matchups and activity solves.......everything.
You are a pool case guy. If people do not become active they are not inclined to throw the elcheapo case and buy something that they are proud to carry their cues in.
If CTE is so wonderful the absolute best thing is to expose the public to it via matchups.
Probably the proving which is best is one of those things where 6 of one and a half dozen of another are the same, but at least some folks went down swinging, had a good time and some new activity was found around a central idea...competition and its interesting.
But the incessant hair splitting over whether or not someone is a Ghost Baller by definition elicited by Neil to me is something I just have little time for. Yes the Ghost Ball by definition has been around a long time and Ghost Ball play has transitioned people use it as a delivery method to whatever point they see to deliver to.
My own personal opinion is that its not an aiming mechanism but a delivery mechanism but that's me. I however do think that for purposes of dividing people into 2 groups we can use the term Ghostballers and Cters but that's just me.
So I have to argue that some activity around this would be a great thing whether its solves a damn thing or not to me is absolutely beside the point, even if that struggle is given Top Billing. I could care less about getting into the car and driving somewhere to go to a shotmaking contest but if you give me a chance to compete, meet some good people, make some new friends, talk about pool, drink some beers and socialize......Awesome dude.
For the people that know nothing about CTE/RealCTE when other people talk about it especially if they are more traditional players, useability is something that I believe is a concern. If people find that's its useable and are made aware of how good it is would that be a bad thing? Is it necessary that we have a winner in the war of aiming? Probably not but it gives us something to talk about and this debate has been going on how long? Lmao. I came into it in 2007 when I joined Az. I think its awesome and possibly a new vehicle for activity.
