Geez, that's pretty dark.
The Simplest Aiming Systems to Visualize and Use

We can argue that point if you like, once you show me where I said they didn't.
I believe you think you do. I also believe I know you don't
Your face and eyeline will be angled, not straight down the cue line centered between both eyes or one eye or the other. It's pretty much how you'll be able to see the two live visuals of center and edge on the balls themselves.
Ccb is where you'll end up but it more than likely won't be the same ccb doing it your own way. There are 360 ccbs.
Look, you're just going to have to get on the table and learn to see this for yourself.
I try being a nice guy but it doesn't always work. Especially on those other people who can't stand me either.
I.e., evidence-based and realistic. Wishful belief is OK too - you're welcome to that mindset. Just don't claim in public that it's indisputable reality if you don't want to hear opposing views.
I don't hold the wishful belief that I'll be around to find out.

Yea he knows the process lmao.
Would like to hear some opposing facts, not opposing opinions
So you believe all methods "put you on the shot line" in the non-feel way claimed for CTE?

You mean like all the facts you've provided in support of CTE's wishful claims?
CTE makes the claims. It's CTE's job to support them.

you try so hard to be a clever wordsmith,,,,,, no Patrick, I did not say that either.
I'm sure word games with you are fun, but I'll pass this time. If you have something clear to say about what sets CTE apart (other than "it absolutely does") I'm happy to hear it.

I was talking about basic CTE with pivoting.
I really don't, you guys say it don't work, I say it does. I use it so I know, you don't so you don't know. It really is that simple.
Well there’s hours of YouTube videos. A nice big book, with pictures to help those like you, and mountains of testimonials confirming CTE claims. What do you have? A great big history of cute one-liners and absolutely nothing else.

o let’s get a video of you doing that if you really know it as you say
Excuse me but my dance card is full at the moment.
Yea you’ve been dancing the “side step” for quite some time
Aiming is a notoriously personal and cerebral thing - how our mind does it, particularly the role played by our subconscious, can be a tricky thing to know. Who wouldn't like to have a way to aim without feel? Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure that's logically impossible - too many defined solutions needed to be practical (not to mention the need to recognize the right one) - but we're predisposed to believe it, and our subconscious assistant can make it seem that way in practice.

Impossible to do because he insists on having his vision on the shot line, which is why he misses shots with it. The pivot takes the vision away from being directly over the shot line, which is how you are able to shoot different angles from the same perception. As distance from the object ball changes, so changes the amount of pivot to CCB. That obviously changes the point of contact along the NISL, which in turn results in a different angle after contact. As per Hal Houle, CTE DOES NOT work with the vision center directly over the actual shot line, or NISL as Stan describes it. These guys want to act like it's supposed to be some magical event that Stan claims makes the ball. It's not, every combination of perception, left or right cut, sweep or pivot direction, etc,,,, will result in the same angle of cut after contact, regardless if the target is a pocket, a combination, a point on a rail for banking, or even a carom shot. The trick is to fit that combination to the location of the balls on the table in reference to the target and the distance between those balls and that target. Those variables will repeat anywhere on the table as long as none of them move on the table, and, as accurately as the user can do the alignments and stroke the shot, which is a consideration with any method of aiming.
I think you should write a thesis on the "open exploratory mind vs. the closed preconceived ideas" mind. You definitely have a lock on the second part. The first part, well, that might take 3 more reincarnations or never.
