Actually i'm beginning to think you should be the only poster here.
"I think " does not mean you know it all. Your opinion is just that but keep ramming it down our throats.
You are wrong in every way imaginable about CTE. Yes, you have no clue about it.
Just happy i'm visually intelligent and understand this objective aiming system

Real good post.

Another 'attack' the messenger instead of making logical points regarding the topic.

Best Wishes.
 
CTE is strong and what I have presented is quite correct, BUT what I currently know about CTE has steadily become 10 times stronger than it was 6 years ago.

CTE is strong! And it is going to get 10 times stronger and a thousand times more popular until one day it becomes the standard.

No one will stop what I know from spreading around the world.

CTE....just.another system? Lol

So there's a dvd 3 in the work's? Good...hopefully you get it right. What i mean by that is...its understandable...and everyone agree,s. :smile:

And you can be assured of one fact: I have it right.

My work has always been a forward moving body of knowledge. The framework of CTE has been solid for the past 6 years.

If I made a mistake and was not initially perfect with the very complex nature of CTE on day ONE.....then so be it. I AM PERFECT NOW after 6 additional years at my table.

I put out DVD 1 and DVD2 and 82 additional support videos concerning any possible new info or insights. I am extremely proud of what I have done.

DVD 3...no plans for it....

Book plans. yes.......does not matter if I spend $30,000 publishing it.....I will also be free with my knowledge on YouTube as before.

Please attach my CTE efforts......attack....attack NOW!!!

Stan, can you explain what a "left sweep" is? I thought I knew, but maybe not. This could clear up the confusion I have had.
 
Left sweep

Stan, can you explain what a "left sweep" is? I thought I knew, but maybe not. This could clear up the confusion I have had.

CB OB relations must be thickened or thinned.

The thickening or thinning can be accomplished with an inside or outside half tip manual pivot.

So, as a right handed player faced with 1/2 left manual pivot.......you can do the pivot based on the fixed CB center.....OR

You can simply rotate into the shot minus the pivot based on the fixed CB. You feel the turn of your left shoulder. And your eyes will go to the shot line based on your experience. Sweeps that result in one's vision being directly behind CCB is about halfway CTE...

Sweeps can result into nothing more than conventional alignments.

This is only s tad of real CTE info....

There is Basic CTE
Pro One and
CTE PRO ONE

The first two major hurdles for anyone learning real CTE are the visuals and pivot directions..........

Thanks for the clear reply. If you have been following the discussion, we were discussing your famous 5 shot perception version 2 video. Some people were having trouble pocketing the shots. Shot 1 would go in and shot 5 would hit the foot rail. When I tried to duplicate the video, found that my shot 1 went into the side rail and my shot 5 went about in the pocket. Although I'm left-handed, your reply confirms that I was doing the pivot as you describe (the left sweep) correctly, only I was doing a manual pivot. I think the explanation is that the people getting opposite results were using a 1/2 tip RIGHT, or thickening, pivot. That would explain why my results were the opposite.

I would have guessed that this video would recommend a thickening pivot up to shot 2 or 3, and then a thinning pivot on shots 3,4,5, or 4,5 as recommended on one of your other videos. If that is what the video had said, I think there wouldn't be nearly as much confusion as there is now.

To the other guys who have tried this 5 shot video: Why did you use a thickening pivot when the video recommends a left sweep?

Regards,
 
Anybody that can pocket balls well with center and outside center knows how full of it you are.;) There's not an aiming system that is half as objective as you think.

Its one thing to help out a friend but to mislead like you do is just wrong.

You mean not one of them is 50% objective? So all aiming systems in your opinion are more than 50% guessing?

I disagree. But you are more than welcome to make some videos and show us why you think the way you do. As good as you play I would never have thought you guess at the aim more than 50% of the time.

Is SVB guessing 50% of the time?
 
Hey now...I defined visual intelligence.....its nothing more than seeing the correct shot picture over and over again while doing the same shot.

Ever experience trying a new shot and just can't get it until you make it and then after that one successful hit that you saw when the CB hit the OB, it becomes easier? That is the beginning of acquiring visual intelligence for that shot.

All systems require the use of visual intelligence. Someone that is just starting to play has very little of it due to the fact of their limited experience.

Visual intelligence comes from HAMB, not any system.

All of the 5 shots can be made with a thickening pivot, but the visual must be a 30.

The 15 inside can interchange with 30 and outside for those shots. As I have matured over time with CTE, the 30 and outside is winning out more and more for me over 15 and inside but it boils down to the particular shot. I use the 15 I -30 O interchange a lot....depending.

***There are no other interchanges among the visuals.

Except with our system we look at the same thing over and over for each shot so we acquire visual intelligence sooner

Hi Dan,

As I've said your results are puzzling.

I used a thinning pivot from 1/2 tip left offset & did not get the results as you explain...

IF I'm getting your meaning.

Not that it would matter, but you did keep them in order 1 to 5, left to right, correct? Just asking since you said that you were left handed.

Best 2 Ya.

Wouldn't that be the same if you stay down and watch the two ball collide thousands of times ?
PS
I hope that book comes out soon.

I'd expect an intelligent individual to try to show in a logical, reasonable, objective manner how the 'message' is wrong instead of attacking the messenger when one can't do that for whatever the reason(s).

Best Wishes.

I disagree. But you are more than welcome to make some videos and show us why you think the way you do. As good as you play I would never have thought you guess at the aim more than 50% of the time. Its automatic for me...what takes you sneaking up on a shot and about 2 hours takes me less then a second on most shots.

Is SVB guessing 50% of the time?
Yep...he's damn good at it to...:p

I would expect the messenger to actually learn just a little bit about the objective system that he is so obsessed about. It is better to discuss something intelligently when both parties understand what it is they are discussing.

Not really, the beauty is with the system if you want to you can just focus on center cue ball and not really ever see the balls collide. I wouldn't recommend it but you could.
