That's the first time I've seen that word in an "aiming systems" thread. :eek: This is really starting to get out of control now. :grin-square:

I know your job is hard. Thank you for your efforts.

Regards,
Dave

The rules are transparent.
"All posts will be kept civil."

The incessant baiting is anything but civil.
I've instructed before that you either add constructively to the conversation or stay out.


Addendum : just in case, you know?

Civil ; adhering to the norms of polite social intercourse; not deficient in common courtesy

You have not answered my question. And if there was any baiting, it was initiated by others. Provocation is never punished around here.

You need to be very careful here. Consumers have the right to express their opinions on the products they choose as they see fit. People around here rave about ob cues, whilst I do not. If I say mezz are better than ob, what would people say if Royce made veiled threats about hoping the mods would take notice and implement action? Well what's the difference in this instance?

Firstly, I suspect Phil B was potting them off the lampshades from about 8 years old, and secondly, he's nowhere near the top cueist in the world. You make yourself look stupid with these examples. They may impress your followers but no one else. You lot even list shortstops on here as proof, which is absolutely laughable.

Find me an example of an average player who suddenly became unbeatable and I'll listen to you. Until then, I'll consider you as nothing more than someone with a product to sell, like a hundred others.

Where were you provoked into calling Stan stupid?

Cant we just get along . We've suffered enough from you guy's,not sure I can take anymore. Please go back to eating penut butter and watching cartoons if you cant stop with your trouble making.:)
 
In case people got lost in this thread and didn't see the original intent, here are the free clips available from Bob Jewett and I for your viewing pleasure (although, I can understand why people might instead be interested in watching yet another CTE "train wreck," with popcorn in hand):

NV E.1 - Fractional-Ball Aiming, from HAPS I
NV E.2 - Back-Hand (BHE) and Front-Hand English (FHE), from HAPS I
NV E.3 - Using "Gearing" Outside English to Eliminate Throw, from HAPS I
NV E.4 - Carom-Shot Trisect-Draw System, from HAPS II
NV E.5 - Combination Shot Throw Adjustment, from HAPS II
NV E.6 - Rail Cut Shot Aiming, w/ and w/o Sidespin, from HAPS II
NV E.7 - Mirror Kick-Shot Aiming System, from HAPS III
NV E.8 - 1/3-More-Than-Twice Bank-Shot Aiming System, from HAPS III

Again, these clips have nothing to do with CTE (any of the versions out there), SEE, 90/90, or any other pivot-based or other cut-shot "aiming system." They simply demonstrate clear and easy-to-understand pool common sense, along with a few useful shot-making "systems" along the way.

Enjoy,
Dave

Obviously all players pivot to centre cue ball. Its extremely awkward not to. Righties pivot in left to right and visa versa for lefties........

Can you explain ?

Serious question, I have no allegiance to any side in this debate. I'm not aware of doing any kind of pivot when I aim.
 
Really. Perhaps it was a response to post 149 by you where you clearly baited and provoked Stan. Perhaps you consider childishness and petulance to be compliments.

I would quit with the 'offendedness' if I were you. People are perfectly free to choose what they want to choose and say what they want to say.*

To be offended because someone doesn't like your product smacks of childishness and petulance. To hope the mods 'take note' smacks of bullying.

If your product is any good, it will sell. If it's not, it won't

Baited and provoked? Oh, the irony. Perhaps you should report yourself this time, eh?

Anyway, Stan was calling for intervention from the mods long before post #149. My comments were reasonable given the tone of the thread.

There is a difference between calling someone stupid, and advising them that a course of action they are taking may make them look stupid. A very big difference.

You are choosing to interpret the words I say in their most malicious form, because of your personal hatred towards me. See them through a different prism and they are no more hurtful than anyone else's.

Nowhere did I interpret your words, I simply quoted them. I looked through your prism and failed to see anybody calling you stupid or childish.

Perhaps you could point to a post you made in this forum, regarding CTE, that was constructive or added to the discussion? Perhaps your words are interpreted as they are because of the constant tone of your posts and you are a "victim"of your own malicious posts.

I'm done addressing you, this has the potential to be an informative thread, I'll return to the primary content. You might benefit by doing the same.

How do you hold your cue when getting down? Seriously think about this. Look at the tip when you get down, and if you are a right handed shooter then normally the bridge comes in with the left hand and contacts the cue before it is set straight, pushing the tip from left to right. That is a pivot, some may call it a sweep but every player does it because of the bridge hand coming into contact with the cue.
 
Allow me to be crystal clear Thaiger.

If you post further in ANY aiming thread and it isn't considered BY ME to be constructive in nature, you will be permanently banned.

This isn't a debate.

I'm not saying you cannot participate. I am clearly defining the parameters within which you may post and if you chose not to follow the advice given...oh well.


I promise, this will be the last time you hear from me regarding this.

OK, but pivoting or sweeping the cue left to right has nothing to do with aim. I don't use the pivot/sweep as part of my aim. It's just a function of shooting right handed and what happens to get the cue into position.

UPDATE:
Oh, sorry. Just read the post prior yours. You were replying to a post. We are in agreement. Everyone pivots, but it does not mean they are using a pivot based aiming system.

Did you miss the post where Stan described me as 'a cancer'? I'm not sure if anyone reported that - I didn't, then again, I'm not the reporting type.

I'm not going to provide evidence of my support for CTE for the simple reason I don't see anything in it. I don't like ob1 or ob2 shafts either, but don't see Royce demanding my removal from the site. We are all free to express our opinions as we see fit and Wilson has yet to tell me where I have broken the site's rules (not that that has stopped him from banning me in the past lol). Which brings me onto victimhood...I'd wager no one in the history of azb has had more abuse than I have, and NOT ONCE have i complained about it. NOT ONCE. You live by the sword, you die by it, so kindly refrain from using that against me in future.

As you're 'done addressing me', does that mean I'm back on ignore? I just like to know these things.

Can criticism not be viewed as constructive?
