Are you saying his pool career is doomed if he doesn't get with pro1?:eek:
Nowhere in my post did I say
his pool career was doomed if he didn't 'get with pro1'.
I said what I said and nothing more...what you inferred isn't my problem.
Read it again.....I said "otherwise you are doomed to never finding out what you don't know" and nothing else.
How he finds out 'what he doesn't know' is not on me.
My personal opinion, however, is that if someone spends good money for an instructional DVD and doesn't really dive into it and burn the midnight oil with deep study and work, they're pretty dumb with their money.
I checked that CTE method of aiming pretty darn good before I ever spent a dime. It has worked wonders for my game...(which wasn't all that hot in the first place). I discovered that I had been flying by the seat of my pants for 60 years with "estimating"....now the only time a ball gets missed is if I choose wrong on the 15-30-45 angles or (I hit it badly). Stan calls this 'getting the perception', which in my opinion is the whole deal. Assuming a player has a reasonably straight stroke, the ball goes in the pocket. The method
eliminates so many variables and that's good enough for me.
CJ Wiley's TOI method will do the same things. A person just needs the individuality to throw off their shackles of mediocrity and do the work required.
Both methods (notice I avoid use of the word "system")
just give a player a tighter percentage and an edge....just as when playing poker and the guys next to you continue to loosely flash their hole cards.
By the way, I don't use Pro1, I prefer the manual pivoting procedure into the shot line, it's simpler for me. And I do not think too much of "feel, instinct", that kind of stuff...I prefer unemotional, cold ruthless mechanics.
