If that happened, we might even have a discussion that stays on topic.

You are correct....I do not know Stevie personally. But facts are true, meaning he was a champion player prior to CTE. I was not speaking on his behalf. I was simply pointing out what appeared to be a typical advertising style, like a pro basketball player wearing Nike shoes because Nike knows a certain amount of people will believe the shoes have something to do with the player's court skills.
I'll be the first to admit that sometimes what looks obvious is not really obvious. I certainly meant no disrespect toward Stevie or CTE. I just find it unlikely that a player of his caliber would go shopping for an aiming system. Maybe all the best pros are shopping for something better, something better than what has made them superior to every other player out there. I don't know.
Tiger Woods took the golf world by storm when he became a pro by winning so many tournaments and breaking scoring records it made everyone on the PGA Tour take lessons shopping for something better. He was THE SUPERIOR golfer.
Then Tiger went shopping himself to make his game even better than what it was in any and all facets of the game.
He shopped four times with the biggest name teaching pros to find it.
Unfortunately his demise came from a wild personal life off the course and a broken down body no longer able to perform.
Why would pool pros be any different when it comes to getting better in any facet of the game to help make them superior players?
Who knows, maybe one day a pro will come to you for your aiming system. Then what would you say? You do believe in it, don't you?
Good point. I understand the concept of professional coaching. It's used in every sport with some of the best players in the world. But seriously, if you never miss a ball, I mean never, like many of the top pro pool players, you surely wouldn't waste any time shopping for advice or lessons on pocketing balls.
What would I do if a pro came to me to learn Poolology? Well, I'd be very proud to say that my wife could teach the system, and she doesn't even play pool! lol That's how simple it is, and that's how much I believe in it.
Let's officially call CTE the only "professional" aiming system out there. I'm very fine with that. All the pro's can learn it, or better yet, they can finally realize what they've been doing without even knowing it. The remaining 99% of pool players, the ones that aren't professionals, from bar room bangers to seasoned players, the ones who are just looking for something concrete to help with consistency, well, I think they can benefit from my book. But I should warn them that it's so simple my non-pool-playing wife could show them how it works.

That's a totally inaccurate statement. NO PRO player has a 100% pocketing percentage without ever missing. All of them have lost their share of matches and tournaments because they missed makeable shots and their opponent took advantage of it. It never fails to happen. Misses create losses.

I don't think very many pros or even amateurs would want to take a lesson from your non-playing wife regardless of her ability to teach the system or it's simplicity.

Your attitude has quickly gone south. You can't leave CTE out of it, can you? Your system is easy to learn and teach because it is a slop-pocket system just as Dan White referenced it right here on this forum in a previous post.
Stan Shuffett
And CTE isn't a slop pocket system?
Then maybe your wife should have been the one demonstrating it on the video instead of you.
There was absolutely no need to compare CTE with your system especially in the wording and fashion you did it. None at all. Nor to mention it.
Bad, bad decision and poor choice of words there, pardner.
lol. Well, a player must have decent skills to attempt any shot making. That disqualifies my wife. However, it would take her less than 5 minutes to explain the system to any player capable of holding a cue and making basic shots. That's all she'd have to do, no exhibitions or high-dollar lessons needed. That was my point - simplicity. That's the only reason I compared the two systems.
I suppose mentioning cte is taboo, like in the movie Spinal Tap when the guitar player is being interviewed, and he says referring to one guitar, "Don't touch it! Don't even look at it!"
I'm not really sure what I said about CTE that was so bad. I have friends that have purchased the DVDs, even one that took a private lesson from Stan. What I've gathered from them is that cte takes a while to learn/adapt. It's not something from which one can get immediate results. This is the extent of my "bad" comments on the system, besides publicly stating that I don't know exactly how it works from a distance or with the sweeps. If honesty leads to poor choice of wording, then I guess I'm guilty. I'll try to refrain from using CTE in any future statements or posts.

That's not true. I've yet to see anyone say they have fully comprehended or memorized all the ball layouts based on the diamonds to determine exactly which fraction to use.

As I stated, you could have also mentioned The SEE SYSTEM or SAMBA or a whole host of others as being more complex but you chose not to. Only CTE.

ALL new or different systems that a person has never been introduced to takes a while to learn/adapt. Even Contact Point Aiming as taught by Joe Tucker.
So does yours with the diamonds. You've actually COMPLICATED a pure fractional aiming system. Is it for the better? Let's hope so for your sake as well as the players. But it does take time and effort as anything worth doing should.

Not knowing how it works from any distance or with sweeps leads to poor wording.

Look what Earl the Pearl shopped for over the past years ...
arm and/or elbow weights
noise cancelling headphones
longer cue
duct-tape for cue wrap
tinted shooting glasses
I thought your comments were mild and didn't warrant any negative response. CTE is a work in process. I'm still trying to understand it. It seems as one has to be taught one-on-one to fully grasp it. I wish I lived closer but Stevie and Stan are too far away. All I can say is that when I fully focus on the steps of CTE - I make more shots than and imaginary ball. It is almost uncanny.
BTW - doesn't your fractional system really use ghost ball? I'm just curious.
My system does not use ghostball. It uses aim points that are on the OB or just outside the edge (sorry Duckie). Visualizing an invisible spot on the cloth has never been a concrete method of learning for most players. It took a friend of mine a few months to final start getting in tune with CTE. But he seems to have no trouble now. Like I've said before, your brain will eventually figure out how to make things work. Sometimes it takes a while.

I got immediate results from CTE. From the very first ball i hit with Hal Houle on the other end of the phone
CTE has nothing at all to with a set of instructions where one's brain will finally figure it all
out.......CTE is figured out! That is what I have been doing for the past decade-figuring it out.
Stan Shuffett
I don't know about that. Dan White gave a brief description with a picture and it still seemed pretty complicated. Look at this, compare to this, figure out the numbers.
