Stan posted another youtube---Subjectivity, Objectivity, and a little CTE
- Thread starter JE54
- Start date
It gets to a point when his poor form with the incessant repetitive garbage that he doles out day in and day out for almost two decades deserves it back. If he knows it all, then he can disprove Stan's 100 videos by doing at least ONE of his own.
I call it GUTLESS. You can think as you wish since you're one of his followers.
Adjusting by feel ? Not with cte you don't. No adjustment necessary.
As I believe you pointed out before, a video does not prove diddly-do-da.
Shooting one handed, opposite handed, behind the back, between your legs, or with a curtain over the half the table -- does not prove how someone aims, even if they claim they see little green men sitting on the table pointing lasers at the sight lines.
People can convince themselves of some pretty strange ca-ca shooting pool. Some of them try and convince others of their beliefs, with varying degrees of zealotry.
And here we are

Are you saying Stan, Gerry, I and others who have done MANY videos haven't backed up the claims? What world do you live in? Go on youtube and watch.
It's been said over and over that you have to forget everything you do and know about aiming when you get into CTE. The method is just so much different that everyone who is introduced to it the first time (properly introduced by someone who really knows) is just taken aback because it is so outside the box of visualization.
You find your perceptions because it's either taught to you in person or by DVD.
I wouldn't say it's feel as much as it is groping and stumbling to learn something so different and new. There is no feel.
It would be like a person who was a great hitter in baseball with the ability to swing a bat, as well as being a fairly good golfer at swinging a golf club. Then you put him on a pair of ice skates with a hockey stick in his hand and he's like a spastic. You're still swinging an implement or tool to hit a puck but it's like night and day to what he's already learned and good at doing.
That never gets old for you, does it? And it's just as pointless now as it was the first time you suggested it. Your concept of what constitutes proof is on par with your sophomoric name-calling.
I can think as I wish because I have a functioning brain.
But... you disappoint. I was hoping for something a little more substantial that I could really sink my teeth into.

A video is pointless? Give me a break. You're giving yourself far too much credit for having a functioning brain. There are definitely plenty of rocks in your head overtaking the space for much brain matter.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, what would a video be compared to both of them...500 million? And what would a live one on one instruction session be compared to a video, a picture or diagrams, or the written word? A billion?
DVD's are the modern way of teaching and preferred way of learning in today's world. They are VIDEOS.
Get with the times and modern day technology and get your head outta your...
Blah, blah, blah, yakety yak, yakety yak, whine-sniffle-snot, whine-sniffle-snot every friggin' day for 17 straight years about the same thing - CTE. If this was a paying job you'd be ready to soon collect on another retirement annuity. Too bad you didn't spend the time applying yourself harder in another side business. What a waste to do it in worthless pool forums, and for WHAT?
Just make a short video of you on the table explaining your alignment visuals for multiple angles and lengths of shots and then shoot it to disprove what has been stated on CTE. Afterwards you can give your opinion why the ball didn't go in due to the alignments. End of responding to your bullsh*t until you do it. This will be the constant message for any of your moronic posts

Well, dang, your argument is airtight... You have put me in my place, and I am forced to yield.
Well played, sir.
Well played, sir.
Huh? It never plays out this way and I can't remember anyone ever saying it. What's to follow? :smile:
Since you've been a total gentleman, here are a few videos of someone OTHER than Stan Shuffett using CTE. Does he "prove" how beneficial videos can be when done with visual explanations while shooting and playing? It can be done the same way if someone wanted to disprove it. (as long as they had the nerve to actually put themselves on video)

Sweet Jesus, has this really been going on for 17 years?!?!?
Absolutely, it's not an exaggeration. Pat Johnson and Lou Figueroa started this garbage 17 years ago when Hal Houle introduced it to the forum on RSB and they haven't let up.
Now Stan Shuffett has to put up with it since he took it to it's current level along with the Dvds. So does everyone else who learns or uses the system and posts their successes.
We're talking about some real sickos who carry that kind of negative desire to make it their mission in life.
What's to follow? The requested video, of course...
Here is my video (that I promised mista355 back in March) in which I call out the CTE PRO ONE visuals and rotation for each shot of a 27-ball run (dang that last ball!), thus proving, beyond all doubt, that not only is CTE a valid aiming system, but that I am a knowledgeable user of it...
Enjoy.
p.s. It's my first video (well, technically, it's my 3rd, as I put up a couple of time-lapse videos of a water-cooled PC build I did back in 2010), so be understanding... I don't know the best format/resolution, etc. I have a lot to learn about making and posting content of this type.
p.p.s. I don't get to play any 14.1, so please forgive the racking faux pas between rack 1 and rack 2...
Yes, at least 17 years standing post at the gates of bizarro aiming world...
...I don't know why but there's a part of me that now that wants to do the Jack Nicholson thing from "A Few Good Men."
