YES, CTE can be explained very clearly and I have worked my tail off for years and years to do just that in my free upcoming video series and my forthcoming book.

Mr. Shuffett, you know how I feel about CTE and how it's raised my shooting percentage. I think it's wonderful.
I have watched the knockers in this section for quite a while now. They say the same things over and over and over. Always talking in riddles and circles.
I'm beginning to think they just aren't very smart. (one even says pool balls don't have "edges since they're spheres"....I know, I know...the thought process is pitiful.) And the most vocal ones are just troublemakers, looking for a fight or a crusade.
My thoughts are GIVE 'EM NOTHING FREE!
Make 'em pay their money.
I'm down for that book and I will pass it on to my grandson after I finally leave this world.
Keep on keeping on and ignore the bums.
Regards always....

It's not that I don't care how it works, I tried to solve it for the first year of using it. I'm welcome to discussion about it. When you say I see something not there, well that is not true. It's
plain as day. It is a perceptional thing, for sure. Talking in circles is right, you keep circling back to the same argument. If it were a placebo, no way would it be this consistent and accurate.

As far as not being proven, I think it can be clearly proven how it works, but not proven exactly why it works in exact words you would be content with. I really think we can revisit after Stan puts out the framework video, it is quite complete.

I'm not sure you appreciate the faulty thinking when you say you don't know how/why it works yet at the same time you dismiss possible explanations based on nothing more than conjecture.

If Stan were able to explain it he would have done so already instead of doing a drive by post. If any of you guys really wanted to get to the bottom of it you would design an experiment to test different ideas... but then maybe some people wouldn't be too happy with the results. Maybe it's just safer to say "it's been explained to you a dozen times." Oh, and that from people who tell me in pm that they don't understand it either.

There are only 2 or 3 individuals outside of me that know exactly how CTE really works. Monte is one of them because I have spent multiple phone calls with him just very recently giving him the details of my work.
CTE will be totally explained on my timetable at about the time of my book release.
It is certainly your prerogative to think that it can't be explained but you are wrong in that assumption. My "book prompt" was my improved ability for explaining CTE but as I got deeper and deeper into my writing project, the absolute closing explanation for CTE became crystal clear.

Well, then I welcome the forthcoming explanation. To be clear, what we are talking about is how it is possible to use the exact same visual and pivot, say CTELA inside pivot, for two different cut shots that actually require a different contact point to send the object ball to the pocket, correct?

Yes! I will the explain how one's cue is precisely aligned to CCB for 2 different angles with the same visuals and same pivot direction.

Plenty of us understand the system. It's been explained in numerous ways and there are still some that don't understand.

That can only mean one of two things.

A. Those who understand are more intelligent
B. Those who understand are less intelligent

If A is true, then will those that still dont understand, admit they lack the intelligence to understand the system?

If B is true, then why would those who don't understand wish to lower their intelligence in order to understand a system which they have no interest in using?

C. Those who obsess about it are the least intelligent of all, and annoying to boot.

I bought all Stan's information. Tried my hardest and it didn't click for me. So I moved on with no malice in my heart and respect for those who it did click for. Intelligence has nothing to do with it. My IQ is around 150. It has everything to do with the endless, mindless bickering about the system. The ones doing this probably do not have an IQ approaching mine and closer to that of a rutting bighorn ram.

PS Bieber: Good on you for understanding it. I do not. But I have seen videos of your game and would gladly wager that I can defeat you on the table.

You probably couldn't. But thanks for sharing your opinion.

I'm not going to keep going in circles on this. You are taking a whole paragraph to say the same thing I did: the shape of the table fools your eye (brain, perception) into thinking you are aiming at a particular visual (CTELA for example) on various different shots.

Just making this claim does not make it true. I understand that you don't care how it works and that's fine with me. What's not fine is someone making a buck off people who don't know any better by making claims that have not been proven. And, again, just saying something does not constitute proof.

Do you know that Stan is making claims that he can't prove?
I'd bet he can prove everything he claims
 
It's humorous that this entire sub forum was created as a leper colony to keep the cancer out of the main forum and the inmates here haven't enough dignity to realize it.

Someone (Me), with an IQ of approximately 69, observes that if this "entire sub forum was created as a leper colony to keep the cancer out of the main forum".................then what in the world are you doing here?
Do you have leprosy also...like me?? :wink:

Since only 2 or 3 other people truly understand how CTE works, the rest are just cheerleaders then.

I guess it takes an IQ of 150 to use three mixed metaphors in one sentence? :eek: j/k!

I figured if I insulted everyone here I could "Trump" this subforum by giving idiots on both sides a common enemy, thus bringing love among them.:hug:

I check in here annually only to find the same "discussion" going on. It's a god damned groundhog day over here is what it is.

Stan said "there are only 2 or 3 individuals who know exactly how real CTE works." That is not the same as understanding it. Many, many people understand how to use it successfully. He is referring specifically to his latest findings and explanations.
 
It's funny to me folks talk about how intelligent they are yet assume just because they are above the average Joe Shmoe it's something to shake a stick at. Judge a fish I guess. Real intelligence is the realization that there will always be someone better.

I like pepsi cola, but I don't need to know how it's made to enjoy it.

How is it that people constantly argue about CTE, but then go and claim ghost ball or whatever is better, or more objective, or whatever the hell the argument is today. You do realize ghost ball entails pointing the stick to aim the back side of a cueball, which you cannot see from an aiming perspective, at a very small imaginary spot on a pool table that is approximately the radius of the cueball away from the tangency line of that object ball to a pocket, and at a perspective that is most often not in line with your direct line of sight to both the object ball, cueball, and pocket, simultaneously. Oh yeah, that absolutely HAS to be better than doing the same thing every shot with only 2 or 3 points of alignment for pretty much every shot, and actually not even requiring to see the pocket to do so.

Surprising, isn't it? People underestimate the power of the brain to make all those adjustments, but it does. You just have to hit enough balls to make it second nature. Stan and his supporters are their own worst enemy. They can't explain it, but when they try their explanations are nonsensical. Then they tell you they've explained it a dozen times. It doesn't matter to me who uses CTE and who doesn't, but don't blow smoke you know where if you don't really know what you're talking about (not you personally). Just say, "Hell, I have no idea why it works or if your criticisms are right or wrong, I just play better this way." Fine by me.
