I'm not new to the topic, but I still dont get it. How can newer posters understand the reason aiming got its own sub forum? What is the root of the disagreement? Why does every aiming thread end up with both sides hurling insults? I thought the mods did a nice job moderating, but I suppose that wasnt easy. Is feel the crux of the matter? I cant think of anything else.
Unfortunately, feel is not the problem at all. I wish it were.
It is a matter of IMPERIOUS DISRESPECT for those who utilize aiming systems especially ones like CTE/Pro1, as well as for the system itself and that is readily apparent to anyone who has read the threads on a long term basis.
Imperious has a very concise definition if one is inclined to look it up. I wish that it weren't needed.
The crux of the matter may have started many years back when an older gentleman named Hal Houle, made disparaging remarks toward some of the detractors of CTE. If I remember correctly, Hal wasn't one of the In-Crowd and didn't care what others thought and didn't mind saying so. When he was criticized for CTE, he responded in kind. In fact, he took amusement at deceiving some of the detractors of CTE and said so on more than one occasion. This probably fueled the tanks of his detractors and set them on a course hell-bent on destroying the aiming system CTE.
The aiming system developed even greater respect when Stan Shuffett created a video called CTE/Pro1 and different pro players started saying that they were using it. The detractors wailed loudly and cried that the pro players weren't using it and to name names. Well, the number of users of CTE/Pro1 has grown in the amateur world and the pro world and this continues to baffle and create more angst, so the fight to destroy CTE goes on.
Who continues to fuel the fire of disrespect? Just read the posts and see for yourself. The truth is that there has been some incendiary responses from both camps.
From my point of view, it sure seems that the other camp, just doesn't want to accept the fact that CTE/Pro1 is arguably THE BEST AIMING SYSTEM for learning how to aim as it encompasses so many more of the attributes necessary to pocket the object ball.
Personally, I think it is kind of funny (the fact that a few people are so hell-bent on trying to discredit something that has helped a lot of people aim better,
because I don't care how anyone aims.
I don't think it is so funny that the detractors have resorted to disrespecting anyone who uses an aiming system.
