Was it actually diagnosed as the new variant or never tested and assumed?
Is It CTE or ETC? It Doesn't Matter

I think you're remembering my results wrong. I'm not really interested in bringing all this up again but apparently you were leading up to some big secret which is still escaping me as to what that was. So I can pivot and make it ball that is a few inches away from the pocket. So what?
I don't know I'm just guessing. I think 65% or more cases are the new variant now and it is very contagious yet less dangerous than the other ones. That seems to match my situation.
I believe it 100%! It's a very powerful aiming system for making balls. But makes no sense to the math/science crowd so it has to be garbage.
Jesus, dude - get help. This obsession of yours is not only dumb and creepy, it’s looking more and more mentally unstable.As I already stated, you're putting your SELECTIVE MEMORY to use. Why wouldn't you use contact points back then since you still use contact points now. You're also lying your ass off to try saving face because it showed how little you knew but still pawned yourself off as a great mind of pool telling everyone else what was right and what was wrong just like today.
A learning tool? LMAO. It goes to show you had a lot to learn and still do. You talked and played like clueless clown back then and are still clueless today except for your "upgrade" to 2d drawings that are also meaningless since pool is played in 3d.
Oh no, Mr. Wizard. Your lizard head comment was you describing exactly what you were doing and being honest about it.
Now you're trying to downplay it by inserting the "humor" factor into it. No doubt it is humorous because I laughed my butt off after reading it but not because you were attempting to be funny, but because you were a hack player trying to find your way.
Hey, don't sweat it. The person who sent this one to me sent many, many more. It's so easy to just copy and paste them.
There's a lot of fun still yet to be had.
Seriously. Do yourself a favor and take a break. Go play some pool.

Your results where only what you told me. No, the ball being a few inches away from the pocket was only to train your eyes to aim the two balls a certain way and then pivot a certain way and see it AT VARYING ANGLES AND DISTANCES. Pocketing the balls only meant you were doing it as explained before going around the table with widely spaced CB and OB as well as all cut angles up to an extreme. We never came close to that point with the early failure and your desire to end it.
Don't lay it on me. YOU ARE the psycho whacko who has had an OBSESSION with CTE and anyone who uses it FOR 25 years, DUDE.
If that isn't mental instability, I don't know what is. You need to take your own advice. Take a break and go play some pool, even IF it's with a LIZARD head bob to contact points.
You lay it on yourself with all the vitriol. I can hear you yelling at your screen.
Try not to let it get to you so much. It’s only pool.

No yours is.
And all you have to do is learn to recognize the different edge/center picture for EVERY different shot and cut angle. The system doesn't recognize it for you - you have to learn to "know it when you see it".
Guess what we call that?

In bold... That's the key to accurate and consistent aiming - being able to recognize when you're locked onto any given shot. And that's something we get through experience, through repetition.
Most players have a handful of shots that they know and recognize very well, and these shots are known so well because they've either come up more often than other shots or because they've been practiced over and over again.
Successful repetition is what builds up our data base of well know/recognized shots. For shots that don't come up that often or are never practiced, we never truly reach a consistent level of knowing or recognizing how to aim/shoot them.
What happens if, unbeknownst to the player, the thinks he's recognizing a shot and gets locked in, but something has changed and he keeps missing it. Why? His eyes are telling him it's OK but there's a short circuit maybe in his feet angle, body angle, head position, the cue seems to be drifting away to the side instead of online. Next thing you know it becomes a mini slump.
(Just throwing some things out there that do in fact happen)
Didn’t you say a while ago that you were going to start using your system on more shots. I believe a conversation with a better player led you to that decision
Yes, and logic tells us it's required whether you use a system or not, and no matter which system or method you use.
The need to learn so much of something so intangible can be daunting, especially if it means "hitting a million balls". It's understandable that some players will jump at the possibility of a system that promises to save them that effort - and more power to them if they can suspend their disbelief enough to use it.
But of course that's mainly what all the bickering has been about regarding CTE's advertising here on the AzB discussion forums - claims that seem illogical on their face, especially claims of a for sale product, get frankly discussed. This isn't CTE's Facebook page.

The "pivot" gimmick. I had a guy ask me if I pivoted after getting down on the shot several years ago. Didn't know what he was talking about. Beat him soundly and took his beer money anyway.
Yep, these things happen. It happens to contact point aimers, ghostball aimers, fractional aimers, etc... and also CTE aimers.
Remember, "the eyes lead and the body follows". That statement applies to every aiming method out there. Simply put, if you aren't seeing the shot correctly, or if you don't know or recognize the shot, then the odds of getting your body aligned properly to shoot it are probably slim.
Repeatedly missing a shot because you think you know it should tell you that you don't really know it, or that something is off. That's probably no different than a player learning CTE who keeps missing certain shots. They either aren't seeing it or looking at it correctly or something else is off, like footing or stance or the actual execution of the stroke.

Yes, and I've practiced certain shots with the system so much now that I just know/recognize them when I see them. That's the power of repetition.
Seems like it would be easier to just keep recognizing the system that you used during the repetition to learn the shot
Here we go with the word play
