The Simplest Aiming Systems to Visualize and Use

If I were you I wouldn’t bother with Dan anymore. He’s not here to learn CTE as you can see by his responses. He’s just here to pick apart anything that is said about CTE.
That's not true. It's just that when I perform the basic CTE steps it doesn't work. Basic geometry says it won't work, but Stan say "visual" and "perception" and "whatever" so I figure I'll give it another shot. Nope, doesn't work. Then you guys say it does work. It finds the shot line for you. I find this interesting and so when someone "new" comes in like Renegade (I know he's not really new) I like to hear what they think CTE actually does for them.

What doesn't work? What are the basic steps being used and what are you seeing. Describe YOUR visual process for it in detail.
Basic geometry says it won't work,
Math says bees shouldn't be able to fly either. Prior to Orville and Wilber Wright, all variations of math said flight by man wouldn't work.

What part of "IT MAKES BALLS INTO DESIGNATED POCKETS" at a higher percentage than all other aiming systems do you not understand?

Do you really not know after all this time? Using basic CTE with pivoting I get the same result no matter where the balls are. The point is when I find the same lines, like eta and pivot the same, like inside or outside, the ob goes away at the same angle not matter where they are. If it happens to be lined up to a pocket then it goes in.

Not true.

When they got a plane to fly, they knew exactly why and could explain it. Not so for CTE.

It does that for you and others who use it and it did not for those who tried it and didn't work.
 
If you take the two shots that were pictured earlier in the thread. You use the same reference lines to make the balls go in the same pocket. What’s the difference? The reference lines hit the balls in different spots because the balls are in different spots. Pretty simple. Virtually impossible to get the results that a certain someone on here gets.

Understanding it isn't the problem. Believing it is.

Pretty simple minded. You nor anybody else has ever been able to describe how it's possible.

pj <- yeah, I know... we just don't get it

Wouldn't the obvious thing to do if it didn't work is to say, "well, this isn't for me. I'll just stick with what I'm using" and drop it?

But in your case, you DON'T want it to work and try everything you know to attempt making it seem implausible as well as impossible for it working through wordsmithing and bad mouthing as well as NOT doing it as taught.

You don't have the book for starters. Who knows what you're actually seeing and doing? I asked you to do a video and explain what you're seeing and how you're setting up, but it was to no avail.

When I posted this, What part of "IT MAKES BALLS INTO DESIGNATED POCKETS" at a higher percentage than all other aiming systems do you not understand? I was referring to MYSELF. If it doesn't for you nor believe me regarding myself, I could give a turd less.

Your stock answer to keep it going for as long as you have the ability to type and still on this Earth.
 
Since you're just making shit up as usual, why give me "just above"? Going soft on us?

It's true, you are just above average, and you know it. Would YOU like to make shit up and tell everyone how you're a world beater with tournaments (of consequence) under your belt and all the money games you played or play in?
2D drawing skills on the computer which you are good at don't mean crap or are even accurate.

I will make a video when I have a chance. It will give you something to joke about but I'll do it anyway so others can see what we're talking about.

Describe how it isn’t possible. Or are you saying it’s possible for the contact points to change positions but not the reference lines. I’d like to have some details from your side

Well this is true of every shot no matter what the method. Here's the deal. You make a video showing what you just explained and I'll make one of what I am doing. Deal?
 
You better ask Brian this question. Dan hasn't actually learned Poolology.
And poolology is not designed to use all the time, whatever that's supposed to mean. But in reality i do believe thats its probably a pretty good system, but like Dan i've never studied it either.

Poolology is a system that helps develop a good eye for fractional style aiming. If a player needs to use it on every shot then that's fine, but it's most accurate on shots that are 1/4 hit or thicker. Here's a good example of when the system might come in handy for even a well experienced player... center table back cuts:

Any ob located on the blue line can be sent into the corner pocket by aiming at whatever aim point indicated by the centerline of the balls in reference to the end rail diamonds. This is a 1/2 ball shot, or a #4 aim.

NOTE: The cb has to be around 10 inches or more from the ob or a slightly thinner cut will be required.

Here's a very simple video I'd like to see you do. Throw all 15 balls out onto the table and start wherever you like in running the table. You WILL MISS balls doing what I'm going to request but that's OK and to be expected because WHAT I want you to do WILL NOT be the correct aiming setup for every shot you may have. It could be too thick or too thin.

I want you to SEE and AIM the CB Edge at OB center on every shot ALONG WITH the CB Center at the OB Edge with NO PIVOTING or anything else. Your HEAD cannot be in a "noser" position. It has to be OFFSET to be able to have those two visuals right where I said simultaneously.

We'll see how many shots go in just with that alone and IF you're in a correct position visually to perform the method.

The misses could exceed the makes but I'm fine with that as long as I can see your head and eye setup to the balls, and you can see both visuals at the same time for each shot.

You already said earlier you were doing a video, are you backtracking again?

This will help Dan out tremendously as he struggles to learn Poolology. But if it is this deadly on these shots one might want to rethink not using it on all shots
