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.

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.
This is a public forum, not a soapbox.
