Fear of Feel

The standard of how the game is taught? Do you really believe this is a system that should be taught to beginners? My feeling is that it's hard enough to get new players to get into the game as it is just showing them ghost ball. Forcing them to embrace such a cumbersome and difficult to understand system at the onset would surely decimate their ranks. IMHO.

Real CTE is a serious professional aiming system.

Any level of player that is serious about how to really play the game....should learn CTE.

CTE is not difficult, it is merely different....CTE becomes very simple to use.

Really thats just what you want to here. No one is pushing CTE on anyone and once again its the naysayer group tying it to religion.
Happy you converted to Buddhism.
By the way you ready to provide proof of those gaps?

Maybe no one is pushing CTE (although that's quite debatable), but they sure have a habit of working their biased thoughts about it and the inferiority of other aiming methods into numerous threads that have nothing to do with CTE, or even have anything to do with aiming. Like a thread about "fear of feel".:rolleyes: This is a public forum, not a soapbox.

FWIW I will begin working on my proof immediately after I see proof that there are no gaps. After all, your (CTE users) claims came first. :wink:
 
There is only one poster that I remember that promoted CTE with great passion.

He left a large void.

I wonder... who on Earth could that have been?

Stan, I do realize that it is a powerful aiming system. Do you think I believe that players like Stevie Moore are just being hypnotized into believing it's for real? I have the highest regard for Stevie, based on his posts here, a small amount of communication we have shared on FB, on interviews watched on YouTube, and just the way the man carries himself at tournaments. I don't doubt for a minute that it has improved his game, which was already at a high level. So if he says it works for him, darn it, I'm gonna believe him.

I'm sure it is simple to use once mastered. It had better be. There's a lot more to think about during high level competition than how you're gonna align to make a ball. But to say it will become the standard for teaching the game is a pretty bold prediction. Maybe the standard for teaching people to play at a professional level... OK. But I shelled out my cash for your DVD, watched it several times, watched many (not all) of your YT videos, have read several enthusiasts' blogs, posts, their videos, spent a lot of time at the table staring at CTE and A, B and C lines, and trying to get them to converge into an objective shot line I could believe in. I am still no closer to understanding how to use it than when I began.

I'm not a brilliant man, but I did return to college in my 40s and got though a year of calculus, a year of physics, two years of chemistry, and more 400 level biology classes than I even had to. After 22 years out of school, I was able to earn a degree in molecular biology with a GPA of 3.65, all the while supporting a wife (in school as well), three kids, a dog, two cats, and did all this while continuing to run a full time business. You'd think I'd be at least bright enough to understand an aiming system.

It has been mentioned before (and in this very thread) that one really should have one-on-one training in order to understand the system. If have neither the time nor the finances to drive 1000 miles to Kentucky and pay you or Landon for lessons. If I thought I'd need to do that, I would never have bothered with it all all. I have tried to set up something with Stevie when he was in my area, but the bad weather made us decide to bail. We may still do that when/if he comes back my way in August, so that should show you that I have at least been sincere in my efforts to learn CTE Pro One.

Anyway, that's about all I have to say about this subject. I try stay out of CTE threads, but this is only a CTE thread because you dragged the topic into it 50 pages ago or so. I'm done with all the negativity, and have no intentions of answering any negative comments directed at me about my feelings toward CTE. I am of the belief that a man has to prove his claims, not just demonstrate that they work for him or others. When you or anyone else can provide that proof - that CTE is 100% objective in a classically defined sense - I will look at that proof with great interest. Until then, be well, and enjoy the success you have worked so long to attain. I, for one, wish you no ill.

So now your crawfishing from your statement of saying that there are gaps. Don't blame you, you have no clue if there is or not.

That is merely your opinion and a bad one for anyone who's serious about the game.
At all levels you have serious players, you just might actually slow someones progress with this system. There's just somethings you can't skip in the learning cycle.:smile:

IMHO your system with need to change for this to happen, nice thought though.:smile:

Simple to use,I guess everything becomes this eventually .

A dream doesn't become reality through magic, it takes sweat, determination and hard work.

Then Barton proved you wrong. Very, very wrong.

As far as being "the standard".. why do you think it has been relegated to sideshow status here?

John learned CTE PRO ONE a month prior to his match with Lou....John is the first to admit that he did not prepare properly with the material he was presented with....his work schedule was a significant competitor for his time.

Simply put, a month is not enough time to put a completely new system intact for a big match.

So please with your great logic use it and show some common sense.

The sideshow comes from posters like you that post this kind of nonsense and those that post picture collages in hopes of discrediting CTE.....well, the net effect will prove futile.

He'd been jawing about it for years, had numerous instructions on it, among whatever else, but you're now saying he didn't know the system? That totally makes sense.

Learn him up on it real good like and send him west with a pocket full of cash. Take as much time as you want.

As a previous owner, I have only two words regarding Stan's Pro One CTE DVD...IMO it is horribly produced, and terribly confusing. The only good thing about his DVD is...I sold it to someone who was as big of a sucker as I was! Buyer beware!

John used a different form of CTE.....check out his videos on YouTube. Easily verified.

HOTAIR140....will lie, will say anything.....and that is his character.

What you fear, really fear, is that CTE will become the standard...
Why would anybody "fear" that, Stan?

I like some things about CTE - it's emphasis on PSR and consistent pre-aim alignment, for instance, and its use of ball fractions as objective references - and hope you're very successful with it. As I've said repeatedly, my only issue with it is that I think it would be even more effective and popular (and less anti-informational) if it was promoted more realistically.
