This place has really gone downhill. Open most of these threads and it just turns into a couple members arguing about the same thing over and over. Does not matter what the thread was originally about.
I had not been here for months. Just got tired of the arguing. Come back to see if anything is different but it is not.
It would be nice if threads stayed on topic and replies were only directed at the original post. I would like to post some things regarding aiming but it seems pointless.
This Place is basically a prison for People who poisoned the entire forum with the CTE war. For a while, EVERY thread, no matter what the subject, in the main forum became a CTE thread. Therefore they created this forum to move all those threads into before it could turn the entire main forum into crap. So it's basically a fighting ground for professional(paid?) CTE promoters and People who for one reason or another has a gripe with CTE. Knowing that, I don't see why the state of this subforum would be surprise to anyone.
Occationally there will be someone starting a thread on something else, but it usually peters out really fast. These People are in it for the joy of arguing (or Money from promoting), and care very little about finding things out. It's clear from how the arguments go: "CTE is bullcrap", "Nuh, uh", "Yuh, huh". That's the depth of it. There is also the occational "wait for x". There have been several of these "x's" but they either never materialize or they don't solve anything or change the debate. I don't really think there is fertile ground for this discussion any more. All the important aspects of CTE, wether for or against, seem to have allready been stated at least 10 years ago. It is what it is.
There are some interesting facets of aiming that would be interesting to explore. It can't be done here, though. I think every experienced pool player has realized that certain shots always get missed a specific way by nearly every player. That could be a topic, for instance. But whatever. Have a good one.
