Pretty obvious JoeyA isnt using CTE only

what stream ?
You'd have to ask him what's he's doing. If he's doing a Pro1 air pivot, you'd have no clue what he's doing visually. There's no visible mechanical pivot that way.
Therefore, you can't say anything is "obvious."

the point is what again?
I noticed this too. However, in the match that I was watching he was shooting the 8 ball (hill-hill), he started out by looking at the contact point with his cue (like many people do), then he did quite a bit of fidgeting on that eight before he finally pulled the trigger. So who knows what he was doing???
I'm with you though - he definitely wasn't using Pro-One all the time, but I think he has already mentioned on here several times that he doesn't use it all the time. So, I guess it doesn't really matter. I do find it interesting though.
I'll have to watch the stream, I don't think I've seen Joey shoot.
I do remember him saying in several posts that he doesn't use Pro1 all the time. I find that odd myself, I started using it after a few practice sessions and it was completely incorporated into my game within a few months. During that time sometimes I reverted back to manual pivoting, or some other method, but for the last 6 months I don't think I've shot a single ball without using the CTE/Pro1 method. It just seems automatic, and I see no reason to ever check the contact point on the object ball.
But as we keep debating in the aiming thread, everyone sees the ball differently and does different things to get the ball in the hole, and that's the most important thing in the end!

[EDIT] Wow, JoeyA looks nothing like I pictured.
Not bad or anything, just completely different than the mental picture I had after reading and responding to his posts for 3 years and corresponding via email a few times. Just funny when that happens... Just starting to watch the stream, curious to check out his shooting style.

I had a lot of fun tonight.
Before I begin, I should tell you that looking at contact points and using CTE/Pro1 is not unheard of. Stevie Moore does this all of the time and so do I. I believe that the more visual information that you feed yourself the better off you are regardless of what aiming system you use.
Tonight, I played in the tournament and I was struggling in most of my matches. I actually used CTE/Pro1, manual CTE/Pro1 as taught by Stan Shuffett, Perfect Aim and Shane Van Boening's aiming system. It was a hell of a day and night.
Ready to get some sleep.
My last match was my best match but it wasn't on the tv table. 7-2. One of they guys who has never seen me play on a bar table (which I don't often) said, "Hey Mr. Joey, I thought you only played on the big tables", to which I replied, "Well, I am trying to learn how to play on the small tables". My opponent groaned and said, If you don't play on the bar tables, I would hate to see you play me on the big tables". At that time, I hadn't missed a ball in the whole set. Really, the balls were just breaking and separating well and I made one or two balls on the break with easy runnouts and he wasn't getting any breaks.
BigTruck, Ray Hansen was doing his thing tonight as well and made it to the final eight on the winner's side. He credits Perfect Aim by Gene Albrecht and JoeyA's dried Turkish Apricots from Whole Foods.

Why would someone be required to use only one method to do anything?
I have often said that I can always go to any method I know. Feel, GB, or any other method is available.
Someone who does not know any systems can't use them.
So I hope Joey combines whatever he knows to help him make balls. That is what you are supposed to do.

The only obvious thing I noticed from watching Joey A's match it that the placement of his wallet (back pocket) is a leading cause of sciatic back pain for men. Which the back pain will undoubtedly affect his pool game in the future no matter what method he uses. Therefore, I plead with Joey A and all back-pocket-wallet poolplayers to relocate their wallets.
This is just a friendly pool community reminder of the dangers to wallet placement.

guess I'm lucky!
I guess I'm lucky, my wallet is thin enough it doesn't cause me any problems!

That, sir HU was the other option I failed to mention. Purchase a thin wallet. Thanks,

There is no such thing as ghost ball or any variant from it.
I suppose you have some reason for saying this but I of course meant the aiming method called Ghost Ball which is taught to every beginner player on Earth. Are you going to deny that this method exists?

I guess you missed Wilson's note about being negative in these discussions.
I don't know what you think this proves but it is certainly not me saying GB doesn't exist. It is me explaining why I think it is not reliable. That does not mean I can't use it if I choose to.
Frankly Joey I don't understand why you have be this way. One of my friends told me you are a very nice guy. I guess he sees a different side of you.
