People....I don't know any of you and probably will never see any of you in my life, but please think about something.
Anybody who tries to convince you that you can take some method of aiming in pool (that they think is wonderful) and you can become proficient with it in 10 minutes or 15 minutes or etc. etc., is either a fool or a liar or both.
THINK....
You can't become proficient at shooting a basketball in 10 minutes.
You can't become proficient at driving a car in 10 minutes.
You can't become proficient at a computer keyboard in 10 minutes.
You can't become proficient at swimming, running, hitting a baseball, hitting a golf ball, throwing darts, shuffling playing cards, boxing, chess, checkers, backgammon, poker....you can't even become really proficient at making love to a woman in that length of time.
Don't believe all that bull some of these people try to tell you or get you to buy. No matter what method you choose to aim a cueball you're still going to have to 'burn the midnight oil' to make it work like you want it to work.
There is no shortcut, the elevator to success doesn't work....you gotta' take the stairs.

If your brain is programmed to recognize the shots automatically you ARE USING THE SYSTEM that got you there (whether you admit or not) but you're recognizing it all in one or two
seconds as opposed to thinking about ball placements on the
table in relationship to the pocket and then picking out
the correlating fractions or other Mosconi book gobbledygook and then aligning to
them.
It's NOT you aren't using any system at all, because a player would be back to square one of hunting and pecking with guesswork and the wonderful overused word
called "FEEL".
Why go through any of that instead of just using the system that works so
well and is ingrained? Doesn't it work all the time? If not, then I say dump that system since it isn't a system at all....it's just more Mosconi Book gobbledygook.
Nothing could be more simple than A, B, C and..SHOOT.
And we can apply those letters to any system except only CTE uses A, B, and C as opposed to 5-6-7-18 contact points or too many fractions to be able to see quickly and easily.
Will contact points and fractions work? Sure they will.
If they're so easy and effective, by all means, USE THEM all the time and ignore us system aiming players and the creators entirely. That's very simple to do also.

You always use the perception and inside/outside sweeps or pivots. I do believe though that after doing this long enough you're brain recognizes exactly which perception and which sweep/pivot will be needed. So those steps become automatic. .
I won't disagree with this.. however.. some aiming systems are actually easier to learn.
Aiming systems saying to preform a bunch of antics before you aim at the OB, or look
for more than 1 aiming line, are only making the learning process harder.... Again IMO
.
Actually, more then one line makes the aiming more exact.
So does every aiming method/system - and to each of those few perceptions we add some subconscious "finishing" for each of the myriad cut angles....we only use a few perceptions
It must be better - it's the system he uses.I don't see how it's "more exact" than using just one exact aim line
I don't see how it's "more exact" than using just one exact aim line, but if it makes you feel like it's more exact then that's all that really matters. I happen to feel like I can look straight through ccb at one exact aim line.

Yes, I know you don't get this...

Cte with it's reference lines locks in and defines CCB. Doesn't get more exact then then that.
You can look through CCB at one aim line but is it really exact. Your experience likes to make you feel it is but does it define CCB exactly. If it doesn't, and it doesn't, how could it be exact.
Like i said when The Truth Series comes out it will be well worth it.
Yes, it becomes very very easy. The brain takes you right to the perception, and you know we only use a few perceptions
