You really aren’t very good at this comedy stuff

That makes sense. Hack player and hack player walking down the street holding hands.
Forgive me, I thought there was some revolutionary aiming technique being presented. I didn't realize it was all just for laughs.
Oh, and I watched a Tyler Styer video. Amazing, no "sweep", definitely no "pivot". He has a pre-shot routine, wipes his cue down like John Brumbeck, then steps into the shot as he drops into the line, makes no discernible adjustment and shoots the shot. If he is using some magic aiming system it is so well disguised as normal play as to be indistinguishable.
But, of course, you're right. The whole CTE scam is hilarious.

Wow. Just wow. The vitriol in your post is palpably evident. Why so much hate?
As a 66 year old C- player, what do you know about "degrees" and how did it become intuitive at this point?
It's simple geometry. The angle to the pocket supports only a very small variation to pocket a ball in the left, center, or right portions of the opening. Yes, intuitively know that you cannot expect to adjust, pivot, or whatever the hell else you want to call it, once you go beyond a certain point. I can simply look at a shot and know that I can't "get there from here" using 30 degrees as starting point to pocket a 45- to 60-degree angle cut. Can't you?
You would be totally wrong on both the assumption and the "think".
Well, thanks so much for pointing out how wrong I am without offering an explanation. Mighty kind of you.
Again, as a C- player do you even know what to look for. You must watch a lot of pro pool players live or on video as well as having the sharp eye what to look for or think you're looking for.
Again, you could have informed me but you chose not to. Thanks again.
What is it exactly that's being aimed at A, B, or C?
Is this a test?
As a C- player, you're already adjusting and accounting for deflection and swerve? Where did you learn that and who taught you? This sounds exactly like a Pat Johnson thought process which he adds to every shot taken.
Huh? I told you I am analytical. I have grey matter. I tend to be drawn to technical endeavors. I have mostly succeeded with a fair amount of proficiency at most things I've tried, including bowling (my best was a 245-259-300 = 804 series county championship, during a season where I averaged around 210 (no, it's not even close to pro but it's certainly better than the average Joe), autocross (2nd place at a national-level Pro Solo event), track driving (I've instructed at about 120 HPDE track days), and professionally (early in my career when I was programming I have a unique distinction of having written or modified over 1,000 programs WITHOUT THERE EVER BEING A BUG REPORTED AGAINST ANYTHING I INSTALLED IN PRODUCTION, and later did pretty well as a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) as recognized by the international Project Management Institute).
And what the hell does PJ have to do with this?
Like I said, it's NOT for you. Say Adios, Sayonara, or Happy Trails to You, along with a wave of the hand bye-bye.
Oh, you don't have to push me to the door. I thought this excursion was a way to get past this crap show and have a civil conversation where I could honestly post my observations, but no, it turned into yet another attack rather than a helpful response.
Who and where did you learn THIS from? Sounds exactly like a Pat Johnson, Dr. Dave, or Bob Jewett claim.
And what is wrong with Dr. Dave, and Bob Jewett? (I won't mention PJ because I already know how you feel about him.)
Then this is exactly what you need to do.
Indeed. We agree!
Then this isn't for you.
Agreed again.
At your age and stage of development, this is NOT for you. If you really want to get on a fast track for development and improvement, take some in person lessons from a certified instructor who can develop your stroke for consistency beyond were you are. To train your brain for aiming the standard way purchase the Joe Tucker contact point training balls and aiming system.
I have taken lessons. In fact, I scheduled one for this afternoon to help with pattern play and CB positioning choices.
Script says author needs to reveal who he REALLY IS because this isn't coming from some 66 year old fart just taking up the game with the way these points are phrased, analyzed, and claimed as a wrong way to play the game.
I DIDN'T SAY IT WAS A WRONG WAY TO PLAY THE GAME. I merely said that based on that video, my observations are that it's not for me.
I knew this was going to be the end result as soon as you made your original "Oh so sincere questions of desire to learn" post.
I don't know if I believe your story above or it's a crock of shit just like all the other crock of shit posters that come in here for the attack on CTE. What you posted is far too detailed and piece by piece picked apart on things a C- player wouldn't even have the knowledge to analyze and you did this in a very short period of time.
Who the hell do you think you are? YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ME. I didn't attack CTE. I was referred to a video and asked to review it, which I did honestly.
And here's what I said up front and it especially applies now: #4: "Say screw it...looks like too much work"
That's IT! End of story. It's not for you. Watch what the stock market does all day today instead.
But if you ARE sincere, get involved with the Joe Tucker training method of contact points. Stay away from CTE as well as this section of the forum. It will do you no positive good.
At this point, I don't think there's any advice I would take from you, so yes, ba-bye.
We now return you to your previously-scheduled crap show. I'm out. No more Aiming Conversation / CTE diving for me. Have a wonderful time arguing with everything and everyone.
Jokes on you. There is no pivot in the version of CTE that Tyler uses. Are you apparently have no idea what a sweep means. Tyler brings his cue in from the side not straight down. Most pros do this.
You are in way over your head here but why don’t you tell us your accomplishments in pool and how you aim. You know. Contribute a little.
To everybody who reads this: this is the only kind of “answer” you’ll ever get from the two main “CTE Combatants” here (cookie man and SpiderWebComm). Don’t waste your time asking them substantive questions unless it’s to expose this sad fact for others.
And ask yourself what this means about CTE itself.

You’ve got to be kidding lmao. You’ve argued against CTE for over 25 years with nothing but a keyboard opinion. No facts whatsoever. Any and all information about CTE is out there in The Truth Series on YouTube for absolutely free. Or you can buy the best most complete book on aiming that Stan has put out.
I do like how you are piggybacking on Dans style of posting though. Seems to be going around on here lately. Problem is, you both have the same evidence to back up what you are saying. That would be referred to as Nothing. Absolutely nothing to back up your claims.
CENTER POCKET MUSIC!!!!! How sweet it is.
The whole Truth Series that is out on YouTube for free has also been posted here. Have you studied it PJ?
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
He answered it exactly the way it should be answered because that IS THE ANSWER. You're too ignorant about the subject and always have been. When it comes from us and is handed to you on a silver platter, your main objective is to reject the answer and
go on the attack.
They agree with you that CTE is mumbo jumbo doublespeak. Therefore, they are the enemy.
How many youtube creators do you suppose have thousands of hours of videos and all of them have comments disabled? I wouldn't be surprised if Stan were the only one.
They’ve never taken the time to learn CTE so as to have a meaningful opinion. Keyboard opinions are useless
One look at the aiming forum on az and it’s easy to see why comments are disabled. Who wants to put up with you nut cases
It’s pretty sad when someone is more worried about comments being turned off then actually learning about a subject they don’t know anything about yet argue about it every day

This ties in nicely with the beat down dquarasr took above. There are plenty of rookie players in the "testimonial" thread who love all these great things CTE does for them, but when a guy of similar ablility like dquarasr comes along he's told he's not good enough to use CTE yet. lol.
There's got to be a psychological term for this, your signature reply. It's so predictable you could practically set your watch to it.
It’s called “ the truth hurts”. Sorry about that.
Keyword “plenty” as in thousands of players now using CTE. Rookies, advanced, shortstops and pros. Players from all over the world using CTE.
