Since you're looking for a half ball hit and cueing center ball, you should end up looking straight down the CB center-to-OB edge line. In this case at least, the other line can only confuse things.

Pfft. ETC can't even make a convincing point. Whadda you think?
I'm not making any claim about the system. He claimed he had CTE CAD drawings and knows the "math" how it works and can prove it, when asked to prove it, he ran away.
Sounds about right.
Well, I'm not precisely looking for half ball hits. I just know the shot is in that neighborhood so I'm not looking to hit thin cuts or straight ins. I'm not trying to pocket every ball, just following Spider's instructions. I honestly don't know whether the actual shot is more or less than a half ball hit. It depends on where I come down with the cue. I could test it out but at this point it isn't important to know.
OK I'll let you in on the secret. If you read up a couple of posts you'll see that I am following Spider's instructions. This is not CTE but he's trying to illustrate an idea and wants to see if it works for me.
It seems to me there is a lot of wiggle room in how you point the cue at ccb and this will dictate how the shot goes. To date, I'm getting the same cut results no matter where the balls are on the table as best I can tell. I'll play around with it some more and if something changes I'll post about it.
gotcha
Where's your CAD drawings?
Ask the Johnson how much time he spent on the table with CTE
Yes, we've heard (over and over) that you guys couldn't "understand" CTE until you "learned" it.
Sorry about your handicap.

Just answer the question
boogieman
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that ping.
Not him but I'm assuming it's an open ended question to everyone?
Right.
I used it for about a month. I could do it. Now a year or so later... I only use CTE if I'm a third of the way into a fifth.
Answer what question?
You didn't ask him a question, you asked Spider.
Well you are asking Spider questions, ask him why TS head position never changes in relationship to the cue, over his entire pool career, even though Spider said it was required for CTE. Ask him if he is accusing TS of being a liar or is he the liar? Can't have it both ways.

Why waste so much time on obfuscation when the results aren't even reliable? The act of shooting shots involves a very strict communications protocol. The balls and equipment are unerring in this transmission. Better to spend the time learning the language.
Gonna go ahead and give this one a bump.
