Joey...post #16 & post #19 are your WORST POSTS EVER.....big PATOOOEY!!!!


Remember...2 wrongs don't make a right....

Those posts are doing nothing but instigating and making fun (as you say) at the expense of others....and is like dropping a big piece of bloody meat in shark infested waters.

Why is it ok for you to do it and not others? The answer ...."They started it" is not acceptable.

The only reason I did not "direct quote" them is to give you the opportunity to modify them....The choice is yours though...:)

Aren't you the same guy that likes to write funny stories about Hal? How are you in any position after that to tell anyone they can't "needle" back? After all it's just mocking...right?

This isn't that "silly" aiming system that comes from CTE, is it? The people who use it are "delusional". Those people just "imagine" it's an aiming system. All their really doing is "guessing". If this comes from Hal Houle's aiming system you've got to be "nuts" to put any time in learning it. It's "not accurate" enough for me to waste my time with it. Anyone who uses an aiming system like CTE is a "fool". " Hahahaha", you guys are so "dam" funny. I sure "won't waste my time" learning another "stupid" aiming system. Get out your "tin foil hats"; ahahhahahahahahah!

Man, laughter is good for the soul. You guys are "sick".

I have a special chapter on just how silly CTE really is and you can read about it on my web site by clicking here.

I'm what they call a pretty good player and I've run my share of centuries and let me tell you, you don't need CTE to play pool.

No, I'm not going to tell you who I am. A few people on AZ know who I am but I'm not going to tell you who I am but I can tell you this, I am the smartest person on the planet and I invented a REAL-LIFE, super-duper pooper scooper and that thing really works. As to that CTE, I am so smart, you can just take my word, it is just plain "silly". YOu should really listen to a smart man like me because I know what I am talking about. NO! Of course I don't have to know how it works to be able to tell you without a doubt, IT JUST DOESN'T WORK. You are just freakin delusional. hahahahhahah. I am not my brother's sister and you can keep guessing but I'm still not going to tell you anything else except I don't live in Colorado, well at least I don't any longer but I am the smartest buttercup you have ever not seen". "ahhahahahaha, you guys are so stupid."

"This really disappoints me". "Me too".

"This commecialism in the forum is making me sick. :barf:

Look, I've been around the block a time or two and if you're telling me that pros use this system then I've got a Brookly bridge for sale. hahhahahahahahha.

Make a profit? You're trying to make a profit on an aiming system that is about a worthless as one of those vitamin infomercials. ahhhahahahhahahah.

Why shouldn't we discuss it freely to ad nauseum? We have a right that supercedes any decency that you might purport to have. ahahahahahaha.

Listen all that stuff is bunch of houliganism. It's "mind control", I tell you; that's all it is.

I'm really disappointed in you guys. Did you all leave me out of the club? I missed the memo.

This CTE stuff is a red heroin, she might be hawt, but your just going to get burned in the long run.

"Let me tell you one thing brother, I have been a minuteman and a colonel in the Army and I have actually used my stop watch to count the seconds for a meeting at the Pentagon so you can't tell me anything I don't already know. I've already been to the cat house and there ain't no cat there.":-)

I'm JoeyA and I am all out of steam. Hope you were entertained just a little.

I just got home after spending the afternoon with RandyG and several other SPF instructors working on the new "Same Aim" system. My initial reaction was "WOW!!" This seems to be the easiest and most accurate system I have encountered in 48 years of playing pool.
Everyone in the class was making straight in, cut shots, and bank shots with ease after just a very short time learning the simple process.

I intend to spend about a week refining the process in my own game, but I expect to be teaching Same Aim before the end of the month. I just need to wrap my mind around it, and get my own confidence solidified, so I can teach others. Right now, I still need to refer to my notes, but I expect that will pass quickly.

I will be reporting back on my own progress, and reactions from my students.

By chance, was Roger Long in attendance?
 
I am happy to see more instructors stepping outside the box and figurign out how to teach this system.

No matter what the antagonists do or say on AZB they will never stop the instructors from teaching what they believe in and can communicate to their students.

Maybe it took a while for instructors like Stan to develop Pro1, and Randy/Scott to develop Same Aim and other methods built on CTE but they are here now and can be taught easily it seems.

To me this is the real success story here. Other than a tiny tiny tiny tiny - teeeney tinny tinny miniscule - statisitically unimportant percentage of the pool playing population, no one CARES how CTE works. The vast, huge, enormous majority of pool players only care that it works and they can understand how to execute CTE.

When I was 19 and reading Bob Bynre's book he didn't have a chapter on the coeeficient of restituition and Newtonian physics to give me a scientific understanding of why and how Ghost Ball works.

Nope, he put up some diagrams and gave me the basics and let me go.

And I paid for those lessons because I bought the book. And the tapes. And I have paid for lessons in the form of books and tapes and DVDs by most billiards content producers.

All of those people have studied their subjects and believed in them enough to put their reputations on the line by promoting the information contained in that material.

So to me it's clear that CTE marches on as a proven way to aim in pool. As evidenced by the amount of "name brand" instructors willing to endorse it.

Unlike cue cases which can be pretty on the outside and loved by everyone because they look so good when in fact they aren't so great on the inside, any aiming system has to pass a simple but effective test, namely does the user improve their ability to make balls when using it or not? If not then either the aiming system is no good or it's not any better than what the student is using now.

As Dave Segal says, are the balls dropping or not? The fact of it is that any player can see within a few days at most if the system has any merit for them or not.

So rock on instructors. Thank you for being open minded and taking the time to learn how to teach this.

You could have taken the much easier path and not seen one bit of drop in business, continued to teach only Ghost Ball and had zero controversy. I applaud you for going where a tiny faction won't go regarding CTE and that is to actually learn it, internalize it and then teach it.

Maybe someday the people who study pool as an intellectual endeavor will catch up to you and with their combined brain power they will figure out HOW it works using the scientific method. Until then you just keep helping people to learn a better way to aim.

Thank you.

Thank you John!

I'm sick to death of the condescending attitude exhibited by Dr. Dave, PJ, GMT and others of their ilk.

I am not quite certain whats going on here???

Are you posters trashing and bashing this new aiming system thats being talked about? this SAME AIM system?

sometimes its hard to follow what posters are saying, or what they mean. at least it is for me.

:-) Starting at post #1 will help to set the context for you.
 
To answer DrCue'sProtege's question out of the 7 MDs 3 of them technically hit the CB into an OB. One of them doesn't really count too much as you are working on where your eyes are looking at not pocketing the OB. A second one works on the stop shot at different lengths. The last one that involves hitting the CB into an OB is working on the draw shot.

The mother drills were speed drills, not pocketing drills.

In regards to the SPF MDs this is not correct. You can work on different speeds on a few of the drills, but they all are not "speed drills".

Your'e still the man Neil :). Maybe next year I can take a look at Same Aim. I'm still trying to figure out S.A.M....and the mental block I can't shake when shooting. Damn nerves.

SAM rocks.
Same Aim is even better.
(and easier to incorporate into your game)

LOL....The position I am in is arse firmly planted in my chair....leaning back with keyboard in my lap. :wink:

I wrote one story that had Hal (in it)....Are you telling me that others are stealing my bits and creating more stories??? Damn Hacks!!! (JK)...

The now infamous story I wrote was actually about what happened to the complete and exact CTE instructions....and why are people saying that CTE is like some sort of religion.

Hal just happened to be "in" the story as he was the character that went to the mountain top and was gifted the CTE instructions....Hal was a character of high regard in the story....as was Stan for that matter.

The mislabeled "mock" was mocking the argument about the (or lack thereof) a one true set of instructions and the fact that people were thinking that CTE was actually some sort of religion....(it is NOT by the way) :)

It was intended to be like the (late) Paul Harvey...Now you know "THE REST" of the story bits...(not sure if many know who Paul Harvey is..but he told a great story)

Now...regarding the reply....You are correct...I am in no position to tell anyone what to do...I have never actually replied to someone like this in the first place...If I read something I don't like weather it be mocking, making fun, direct insult, whatever...I don't reply...I just move on to the next post...(unless it was directed at me..then I will reply)

I made an exception in this case for a few reasons.

1 - JoeyA likes to be the moral compass of the board....He seems to like to point out if someones compass is broken...He is not the worst....Sweet Marissa is the title holder of that catagory...and I doubt she will ever lose it......If JoeyA wants to continue to be the moral compass of the board...He needs to make sure his compass is in line.

2 - JoeyA gave me the big "PATOOEY" to me in the past...This was my opportunity to return favor.

3 - JoeyA's mocking post (admittedly funny) was not in tune with the mood of the thread....There were no posts made in that thread by so called CTE bashers...The thread was a totally positive thread about the development of CTE and its users.....So in essence......his post was actually a hijack of the thread...I can understand the misplaced post from JoeyA....he is fairly green to that type of post since it is rare for him....unless he is taking jabs at the ginger bread man...:wink:

What was the intent of his post? Was it "bait"???

When I made my now infamous post it was in line with the tone of the thread....In fact the thread itself is what gave me the "idea" of the stupid story.

JoeyA's post almost seems like "bait"....an open invite if you will for people to reply to his post and cause complete destruction of an otherwise (only) positive thead.......why start it down the path negativity???

In the words of the late Paul Harvey....."Good Day":):)
 
Ok here goes. Over the last many months i have seen thread after thread about this cte aiming system. I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT. That being said i have read many a thread were people praise it and others that bash it. No one has told us how the system works. And they want your money to buy a dvd or take a lesson. Is it just me or should these threads be in the FORSALE category... And for the threads on people who just took a lesson and think its the greatest thing ever. Great post it in the REVIEW category.

On a side note. Again i dont know anything about it. If it's so great why dont you have pros flocking to these instructors? I mean if cte helps you make more balls. That might be enough to make a shortstop the next US Open winner.

Now i love knowledge and would probably give my money away to take one of these lessons in the hopes i could learn anything that would help my game. Because i know, if i know what to do on any given shot all there is left is execution. But this is what makes the greats great they know what to do or create something and can execute it (with a high %).

In finishing please take your sales to the for sale section and reviews to the review section please. And if you are in the northwest giving a lesson dont hesatate to pm me before you come. Thank you for your time.
