I think not.
There will always be the possibility of finding players who do use a 'system' that can beat Lou and, conversely, there are lots of players using no official 'system' that can win against John.
The same can be said of Geno and Bartram who finally matched up not too long ago. With a little humor it became "one man, a van, and an aiming system vs "one man, no aiming system". :grin: btw, Chris, the 'no system' guy in that match, hit practically every shot with *w-a-y* outside. What's up with that?
IMHO, pretty much all of us use some sort of an aiming system, whether we're 'throwing' balls in with a little sidespin or even something as simple as eyeballing and maybe laying our sticks down on the table to aid in measuring the ghost ball angle we need, these are systems we employ to help pot balls.
I'm not sure if the more sophisticated aiming systems like CTE, TOI, or whatever, are any better than H.A.M.B. (hitting a million balls), I think that's a decision we can all make for ourselves. If you want to explore one of these and you think it might save you some time or make your game better, then I say more power to you. :thumbup:
And if you find success with it, even more power to you.
The one thing about this topic that I am certain of, is this:
It's not one size fits all, never was and never will be.
Therefore, I don't believe we should defend and debate it like it's a religion. What you like and believe may not be the same as me.
Pool is our passion and it's supposed to be fun, right?
Then live and let live.
And enjoy the journey.
