Can you describe and demonstrate what the top players who use CTE do?
HOW TO AIM … The “AIMING SYSTEM” of the PROS

Aiming while upright is BIG. I see soooo many mid/low level players who do no aiming til they're almost down on the shot. When i show them how to do it they usually get it pretty quik.
DAM, I hate it when you are right.
This probably does deserve to be banished to the dreaded “aiming system” sub-par forum.
Then do it yourself. Transfer it to over there and eliminate it here. But I don't think it was ever your intention which is why it's here. You could prove me wrong but I don't think so.DAM, I hate it when you are right.

I’ve been working on the ‘quiet eye’ technique. I use it in putting and find it clears my head mentally and visually. Adaptin to pool is a different matter.
You said pretty much the same from 1:30 to 1:40. Then you turned right around and contradicted yourself by talking about ghost ball, contact points, and every other method or visual keys between CB and OB. They're all part of a SYSTEM.
It's like you don't know a DAM thing regarding what you're talking about and trying to get across.
In the beginning of your video, you cut two OBs on the rail that were severe cuts. There's only one way it could have been done.
Aligning the EDGE of the CB to the EDGE of the OB. Maybe you also used some inside spin, I don't know. But you still had to align the two balls for it. ALIGNING and AIMING are the same thing when the CB and OB "connect" from a straight in shot to severe cut, to everything in-between.
Move to AIMING FORUM.

I’m a fairly serious golfer and appreciate John’s attempt at the analogy, but golfers don’t need to estimate collision angles off the nearest tree or rock. Until they get on the green and have to deal with slope estimation, every shot they have is “straight” - like hitting a pool ball directly into a pocket, which pool newbies learn to do easily. (Of course they factor in draws and fades - but still nothing like nailing a tough cut angle.)
That said, executing a straight golf shot is far, far tougher than executing a straight pool shot. Imagine playing pool from the side with a putter and having to control your clubface angle.

So yeah, maybe you should move it there. I don't know shit about cte but fair is fair.DAM, I hate it when you are right.

If they're seeing angles, ghost balls, contact points, CCB to XYZ, edge of CB to spot on OB, etc., IT IS AN AIMING SYSTEM OR METHOD of VISUALIZING the shot.
L'il Chris, who you've posted on your website and have respect for, did this video on CTE. Is he wrong? Is it bullshit? Can it be duplicated just as he illustrates? OF COURSE IT CAN.
I do agree to a certain degree. The 2 toughest 'Single person' games are the Most difficult, Golf and Cue games because they have the one thing in common. Does anyone know why or what that is? I'll answer my own question. "It's the only single person games where the player has an, stationary ball and has to propel it with a stick."
I used to be a 'Legit' 2 handicap from the early 80's till I quit in the mid 2000's due to a left wrist/hand injury. There is real No 'defense' in Golf as there is in cue games. The defense in Golf is the course/elements/weather, but the player has 14 clubs to deal with all that.
Spidey,
You sound a little bum hurt. The thread is about Doc D's video contribution. Not CTE or Scientology.
I knew it wouldn't be long before a post like this was made. Go ahead, pour it on.
Nothing to pour. The thread is not about CTE.
Who said it was? But it IS about aiming and the video illustrates how CB CENTER and CB EDGE are used to AIM or ALIGN just like any other method and there isn't a DAM thing you or Dr. Dave can say about it.
When did you become a moderator?
Doesn't it belong in the aiming forum? If not, why not? Why the free pass?Thank you for all of the content Doc.
WOW. Sorry. Still bum hurt. Carry on.
Nick, is that the Canadian version of 'The Red Ass?'
Very nicely done, Dave! Thank you for another great video. I like how well organized and well laid out the information is.
For me, it's a great reminder to practice a good pre-shot routine. I tend to rush aiming while standing, and I end up paying for it!
