John Schmidt's and Corey Deuel's comments on aiming systems
- Thread starter PoolSharkAllen
- Start date
Just for your information, Dr. Dave has more info than any other site. Much of which is very advanced info. Now, if you are simply talking strategy and patterns, then we are talking about two different things when it comes to "advanced". In which case, you really should apologize to Dr. Dave.
His sight should be a requirement for all instructors to read. Now, I'm not saying I agree with everything he says. I don't. Such as his take on some aiming systems, which really is no different than Mark Wilsons take on them. But, there is MUCH to learn there! Much of which is very advanced!
As far as Stan goes, yes, I know he teaches much more than just CTE. He also teaches other aiming systems if the student so desires. Many on here want to pigeon hole him into only knowing CTE. They couldn't be more wrong!
au contraire.
JB made the match all about whether a "feel" player could beat the CTE system player.
Settled.
JB also made it about whether I could "get in the grease" with him.
Settled.
JB even made it about whether I'd even show up.
Settled.

The Settled
Nice Reply Lou,
Im happy to see you so content and I would say rightfully so but it seems there is still unrest in paradise. Such venom for of all people Dr. Dave? WTF? Really? The man is undoubtably the most prominent information sharing human on the planet as it pertains to Pool, much of it for FREE....
I remember a recent argument about how much feel is appropriate to play this game properly as if you can measure or reduce such a thing. There is always a contention here of some kind. I actually think there should be more playing and less mouthing so that these people who profess so much pool knowledge can stand up and let people see where they draw this extensive knowledge from.
I applaud your settledness, you put up and you have every right to crow all night if you so desire.

Maybe you should participate in actual discussions on here instead of constant referrals and links to your website. Then you would be contributing positively to this forum.
I'll admit i am a little biased because of the stupid, joking, and misleading info on his website about CTE.
How about you prove it. Pick something out and post it that most advanced players don't know.
It would take decades of Lou's style of crowing to get even for the months of JB's nastiness.

That clockwise rotation is what I suggested to Joey A regarding a comment he made about the cue being too close to his hip. That rotation 'clears' the right side 'out of the way' so as not interfere with the stroke.
I noticed this when I started missing some long full table shots when I had to jack up. I discovered that if I made a slight clockwise rotation it freed up room for the stroke to be correct.
Best 2 All,

Good post John.
This is part of Gene Albrecht's Perfect Aim that I would suggest everyone get & then call Gene even before looking at the DVD.
Best 2 You & All,
Rick
Just one? How to aim a masse shot. Something I feel every advanced player should know how to do, yet the only ones I ever ran across that know how, I had already shown them in the past.
Freebie number two- How to determine just where the cb is going on a follow shot. Comes in super handy for safety play and general position.
OK, here's a third- How to aim a draw shot and not have to guess on it.
Cool, thanks Rick.
Yeah, Gene and I could never hook up for a one on one session. I wish he would try to come to St. Louis just one more time. To me it would be worth the $200. Hell, I would even buy him lunch.

As to your udder point: there is a hard core group here that defends Stan and CTE in a fashion that would have gotten most of us whacked a long time ago.
They get no warnings about contributing to the discussion; they get no warnings about ad hominem attacks; and even Stan got pretty hysterical there for a while and made numerous personal attacks. But no warnings, much less any vacations.
Just look at the recent attacks against PJ and Dr. Dave. Mr. Wilson would have bopped all of them if those posts had been made by a "nonbeliever."

So you really think most advanced players don't know these things? Ok you got me, i'm wrong i guess.
For the record, I already knew.
So I don't care to visit a different pool website and i get a warning. OK.

Lou, I like you, but that is pure crap. If anything, it is the other way around. Those against it keep on making up stuff, and then mocking users of CTE for saying it. It's ridiculous the lengths that those against it for whatever reason go to. Learn from the system, or move on to something else. Because it has been proven over and over by many that the system works as described.

I know most don't. They go by feel on them, and that is all they have. If not on here, where did you learn those things, and can you describe how to do at least one of them?
There has been no such proof. It has only been shown by some that they make shots from the initial visuals that they use.
There has been no proof that they are not modifying the pivots or sweeps nor has there been any proof that they are aligning center to the precise edge nor the edge to the precise points of A, B, & C.
I'm not saying that there is any intended misinformation as those adjustments are most probably of a subconscious subjective nature.
There has been no proof that more than one angle can be had from the visual alignments for each specifically defined pivot in each direction or supposed equal sweep.
You can say that it has been proven a million times & that will not make it so.
That is unless when you say 'as described' you mean by using one's individual subjective perception which is not objective.
