you must understand for the guys that havent argued over the same thing for 25 years
we find the banter amusing
and occasionally from time time enter in
speaking for myself and maybe phreaticus
for amusement
although me personally have tried many times to get a peace accord with no success
you banning phreaticus who has only had a few posts and maybe provocative
is nothing like what goes on between dan white/patrick johnson/ cookie man/and spidey
yet you let them do the same sh*t to each other all the time
if you want the aiming section to be an educational part of your site
you need to stop them from interacting
its the same crap over and over
and does not teach anyone a thing

Point out why in the form of a video with a full explanation while doing it. Your wordsmithing is old and moldy. I think it's far more exact than you randomly picking out a contact point on the OB, bobbing up and down like a lizard to made sure it's the right contact point, and then trying to strike it with an equal and opposite part of the CB while making more adjustments for every physical force of nature regarding spin, speed, squirt, swerve, Coriolis force, fan or air conditioning wind, and an imperfect stroke to top it off.In defining aiming solutions.
To be fair, it's no less exact than other aiming systems - also no more.

Dave I do remember you trying to introduce me to pivots and aimingLarry, I did try to teach you something in private. Do you remember? It didn't work. Why? Maybe me, maybe you.
But I did reach out to you and give it a try. Has anyone else done that for you in the other camp? I'll answer it for you...NO.
Has phreaticus ever actually talked pool and how his process is done or any others? NO. The fact that he does have only a few posts since joining yet insists on name calling and jumping into the fray regarding CTE and its users with nothing positive is not typical of a pool player who has curiosity about ways of playing the game and wants to discuss it peacefully. He is in fact an obsessed stalking troll.
Where in the hell are you suddenly coming from with all of this and why?
Don’t forget, after all this “ it has to look right” or I guess you stand up and do it all againPoint out why in the form of a video with a full explanation while doing it.

We've talked about this a few times. I prefer to sight down the
contact point-to-contact point line, but that puts my head in
different positions over the stick depending on the shot and can be
physically difficult for cue ball contact points "outside" the stick,
so I adjust it for comfort and consistency. I also like to move my
head back and forth to sight down more than one of the available
lines, including cue ball path, just for cross reference (I might look
a little like a lizard doing this). I like to know that my stick is
pointing where I want it to, but "sight down the stick" doesn't work
by itself for me.

I already did.You said it...you explain it.
Their (and your) false claims were disputed. You took it personally. You obviously still do.It isn't false. No two people in pool have come close to being as maligned as they have, and YOU were the one who started it as
well as kept it going for two and a half decades.
If you think a video is needed to “illustrate” something that’s obvious on its face, you’re revealing (yet again) your lack of basic aiming understanding.As far as the unique exactness goes, create a video with you at the table illustrating why it doesn't.
Yeah, that's what I figured from you. So, how about a video of you illustrating whatever the hell you want WITHOUT me?lol
Sure - we’re gonna hang out real soon.

It's been described to you many, many times - once again: "feel" in pool = practiced estimation, or "knowing it when you see it".Describe/define FEEL.
To learn practiced estimation, you have to practice estimating. If that's too complicated for you (even though you do it) I can't help - maybe a special needs teacher......and how can it be worded in such a way that the description or directions can be followed by any and all pool players.
Knowing it when you see WHAT? An imaginary contact point? An imaginary fraction? An imaginary arrow?It's been described to you many, many times - once again: "feel" in pool = practiced estimation, or "knowing it when you see it".

Why would I practice ESTIMATING when I can get ACCURATE VISUALS immediately using the edge of the CB, CCB, along with the OB edge and specific inner parts of the OB. They can be seen with my own eyes. Nothing estimated and NO FEEL.I can't help - maybe a special needs teacher...
I argued against using only feel - not that you'd be expected to get that distinction.Here you are ARGUING AGAINST FEEL years ago.
You are absolutely right. I should crack down on some of the more disrespectful users. Any thoughts on who I should start with?I agree but as you can see the mod let’s certain people get away with just about anything. But it’s not only here, the main forum is a mess also.
By the way, is 626 legit?
I don't take it as an attack at all. The issue is stopping a handful of users from interacting with each other. I have limited methods to do that. I prefer not banning people, but sometimes I don't see an alternative. I do believe that they have decent information to share at times, but they are way too emotionally invested in their arguments.i hope i dont get banned for this

What I said then was I don't like using feel exclusively, without some CB/OB "landmarks" to help. What I say today is feel is inescapable, not that it should be used exclusively....You weren't too keen on feel.
...And it's NOT what you're saying today regarding FEEL.
I tried. I gave up when it became apparent that you weren't going anywhere with what you were showing me, other than the fact that putting the ball 7 inches from the pocket means it will go in a lot. You then misrepresented my problem with the pivots I was doing early on off the rail. If you could simply explain your point it would be easier.Larry, I did try to teach you something in private. Do you remember? It didn't work. Why? Maybe me, maybe you.

This is exactly the opposite of what you were saying at the time. You kept telling me the shots were being MISSED! I was in a state of disbelief because I knew for a fact that Ray Charles could have made a few of those shots.I tried. I gave up when it became apparent that you weren't going anywhere with what you were showing me, other than the fact that putting the ball 7 inches from the pocket means it will go in a lot.
You weren't too keen on doing it the first go around. It was like I was twisting your arm. Days went by without you posting anything back regarding what was happening successfully or unsuccessfully. Why put myself through that again?You then misrepresented my problem with the pivots I was doing early on off the rail. If you could simply explain your point it would be easier.
How about everyone except Bob Jewitt and Fatboy lol. Those two are pretty respectful 99% of the time.You are absolutely right. I should crack down on some of the more disrespectful users. Any thoughts on who I should start with?
How far along are you? Cause didn’t you say once before that you don’t play very good.I'll stick with my simple system, "hambone". Hit a million balls, plus one.
