Pivoting systems and their relationship to CTE

Please send me a link, picture, diagram on napkin of those 5 shots in question. I will try to mathematically prove them on my table using the same pivot distance and a 2/3 pivot point.

From whom are you making this request?

They can be seen on Stan's you tube vidoes.

The issue with them is that it is said that they ALL can be made utilizing the same ETA/CTE visual & the same 1/2 tip thinning pivot... & the basis of the 'system' is that it is 'Objective' & does not rely on subjective interpretations nor input.

If you can mathematically prove such... I will gladly be on board trying to learn how a few simple steps will get me to the actual shot line by ONLY objective means involving no subjectivity nor subconscious 'use' on my part...

as that was which was so intriguing to me when I first heard about CTE.

How I could suspend my grasp of reality to allow such is beyond me... but it happened.

If you can do it while Dr. Dave, Bob Jewett, & others can not... then more power to you...

And Stan would owe you an immense amount of gratitude.

I actually wish you luck... as I would certainly love to have such system.

Best Wishes for You & Yours.

The 5 shot presentation no longer exist as was presented.

May I call you Stan?

Sir,

Again you say nothing to enlighten nor even give cause to think with such a statement.

ALL that statement does is invite questions that you are probably NOT going to answer...

other than perhaps plant a seed in some for purchasing the book.

Best Wishes for You & Yours.

PS Are you now indicating that Your CTE does rely on subjectivity?
 
Thanks English, I thought it was a challenge you set up.

I looked at Stan's channel and none of the titles to his videos suggest to being anything about making 5 shots using CTE.

I am right there with you on what initially got me intrigued with CTE.
I do think I can show the shots on paper all working mathematically based off of a 2/3 pivot. You do have to take into consideration the line from the object pocket through the object ball but only to get your stance close. Then you can basically just get down on the shot, pivot and shoot. I think all the controversy started back when someone said that you did not need to take into consideration the angle to the object pocket. You do for stance, but not for pivot or stroke. Show me the shots...

There are two videos on "perception" one with 3 over sized balls & 1 with the 5 shots.

Yes, the assertion is that the system is "objective" & that it, the system, takes the shooter the the actual shot line with a slight over cut, supposedly to counter all of the different amounts of collision induced throw.

I did not step into the box batting a 1000 but over the years I have gotten quite good with PERCEPTION and anyone would be hard-pressed with setting two spheres on any table without me being able to assess them correctly in relation to right angles.

My previous work is very strong but I have grown with CTE. It is a professional system and not a " practice it for a few hours and you have it type deal"
I see CTE as an Efren-like visually deep topic. Sorry to you that I have matured and learned much about the topic of CTE over the years.

I think the WORLD will be happy with the visual phenomena and the entirety of CTE that I leave behind.

Sir,

Again... you basically say nothing in regards to the concept that you were trying to put forward with those videos as it relates to Your CTE that you want to call "Real CTE".

Arguing has been going on for more than a couple of years now because you brought "perception" into what was asserted by you to be an OBJECTIVE system.

THAT is what most of the hub bub has been about ever since...

because YOU basically disproved your own prior assertion...

which others had been contending was inaccurate for more the a decade.

Down here we have an 'animal' that moves backwards. It is a craw fish. It looks like a mini lobster. It can walk forward slowly... but it moves much swiftly in the water when it uses its tail to move backwards.

I would never refer to you as a craw fish...

because you have certainly not been swift with your backwards 'movement' on this main issue.

Best Wishes for You & Yours.

I see that you added that last statement to your original post.

Please do me... & others a big favor...

Please explain exactly what the visual phenomena is supposed to be.

Please note that I am not asking you to explain how or why.

I am JUST asking for you to explain exactly WHAT it is supposed to be.

Thanks in Advance should you choose to do so.

Best Wishes for You & Yours.

You will LOVE! It! Nothing has ever, even remotely, been presented like it in the history of pool I promise. You have my word on it. Come to one of my clinics and really learn something special.
I might even dedicate the phenomena to you!

Ignore training is harrrrd!

This is WAY off topic but some members may enjoy the subject.

I made a comment a few pages ago that I wished the balls were moving at the speed of light so they would turn into disks. That made my memory flash to a scifi story written by Isaac Asimov back in the '60s. It's a tale about a null gravity field set up across half a billiard table, a possible murder, and a billiard ball.

It's called "The Billiard Ball". Enjoy.

It's interesting you're using a 2/3 pivot instead of a full 'bite' of half ball. I assume you're talking about 2/3 of the radius and not diameter. How did you arrive at the 2/3 value, trial and error? That's the way I developed my pivot.

Stan,

Many delusional individuals ignore or try to ignore reality when it is put before them. Not saying you & not saying me. Just in general.

If my questioning has contributed enough in your 'discovery' that you would consider dedicating it to me, I would be honored... if done so appropriately.

When one asks questions & gets an answer... an intelligent man, or woman, also questions the answer.

I doubt that I will ever learn what the phenomena is supposed to be because I have absolutely no incentive to purchase your book... given my last let down seeing the 5 shots video while I was waiting for the CTE/Pro1 DVD.

Best Wishes for You Yours.

PS Why would I attend a clinic by one that either can not or will not explain it in a readily available venue & make thousands upon thousands WAIT & suffer for a time until their Book can be made ready for sale. It sounds to me like the Book also may not reveal it... but attending clinics will be required. Will your clinics be Free to ALL, even those that have not purchased any of your products?
 
Hell, I thought that I had invented or discovered equal & opposite overlap in 1968 when I was 13 years old.



.

Some would argue that this would be a trait of a narcissistic personality.
Then again, some argue over every single little solitary word.

I will promise you this.
You are a tattletail! That is a well-known fact!
If you come to one of my clinics I will provide for you a tattling source.
I will attach a nice picture of a bear to one of my walls. Over its head I will place a little nametag for the bear: TATTLE BEAR

When I get out of line and you need to tattle you can go stand in front of Tattle Bear and tell him what I did. After the first couple of times of talking to TATTLE BEAR you might just feel so darn silly that you'd quit tattling altogether.

I believe that there is a relationship between the balls and pockets that lead to the shotline using a pivot method and visuals. I've been mulling it over for a few hours on the best way to discuss it. I can only see one way but we have to agree on some basic points. Without common ground there's not a prayer and I won't try. If you don't agree with my statements we can talk about them and try to work it out.

If the cue tip is placed on a different spot on the cue ball and then used to aim through CCB, the shot angle is different. It's how most people fine tune their aim at GB, CP, Quarters, etc.. It's a basic statement and everyone should agree.

The next points may need some discussion.

A move down table is equivalent to a cue ball rotation.

A half ball pivot will move 15* on the cue ball.

That should be enough to get thing started.


@ Dan -- Thanks a mullin :D


I'm offering you a guided tour through 'Pivot Land'. You don't need a drink of kool aide to enter, you won't be sprinkled with pixie dust and you'll see no unicorns. I try to lead you to the entrance but you keep backing off. Let's discuss the happenings behind pivoting to a shot line and the above statements that can lead to a fuller understanding.

Or some would see it as merely the naivete of a young 13 old boy that had just been introduced to the game & full of exuberance & had only been shown Ghost Ball with no mention of that phrase.

Since it was not shown to me... I did discover it... for me... & I did invent it... for me.

Best Wishes for You & Yours

PS I guess only Stan Shuffett can discover manifestations that 'were never supposed to be' but may also not actually be anything that has not always existed or... does not really exist.

What does this mumbo jumbo have to do with your book or the supposed phenomena & you possibly dedicating the discovery of it to me & my questioning as was the subject at hand?

Best Wishes for You & Yours.

You sound more & more like that guy I thought/think that you might be.

A stationary sphere does not rotate... other than it is on this planet that is rotating around the Sun & hence it too is rotating around the Sun.

If one starts with a false premise, one can then make all kinds of logical assertions & arguments but in the end any logical conclusion will most likely be FALSE because the initial premise was false.

Best Wishes for You & Yours.

PS I've tried to show you the gateway to reality but you have turned your head on several occasions while either ignoring matters or talking around them. That is rather typical from the pro CTE 'side'.
