Ok, I will bite. This statement is absurd and you know it. However history shows that it PAYS OFF BIG to study and emulate the great players who have come before you. This is true in all endeavors in life as well.
This Aiming System Crap is Killing Me

Well, maybe he's not using the same system from the chair. As a matter of fact, my buddy asked him if he could get the eight, and his reply was, "If you'll play from a chair, too." Now I don't know if I have the right to quote this, so Buddy, I apologize if you hate me for it.
You're still over my head with this. Buddy Hall could shave years off of any player's learning curve without ever going to the table. I know this from my conversation with him going down the road, and the couple times I have played him.
Or maybe you disagree, since you think that there are no shortcuts. I'd be willing to bet that with Buddy coaching me for a year I'd better than if I practiced ten years by myself for twice as long each day.
Hell Crawfish, since the guy who beat me won't take the 8 from you will you play me even one hole for $200 a game if Buddy Hall gets to coach me? It shouldn't matter since Buddy can't possibly tell me anything that makes me a better player right?
Scott Lewis was the last guy I played some serious one pocket with in North Carolina. We started out at 100 a game and jacked it to 300 a game when we got to even after trading a few games.
I got lucky and played way over my head on the tight table at Smokin Cue and ended up 3 games winner at 300 a game and he quit. Then I let Brady spot me 9-7 or maybe 9-6 for a hundred a game and escaped 2 games winner there too. Brady told me before the match with Scott that I had no chance. I asked Brady if he wanted to bet some on the side before Scott and I got started and he said no. Sometimes a guy just needs a little motivation, ya know?
So can we play if Buddy coaches me?
I know for an absolute fact that I shouldn't be responding to this, yet here I am. I can't help myself.
I want to make sure that I have this right. You are saying that you are willing to bet any AzB'er that you can make ANY makeable shot within three attempts using the CTE aiming system?
If I have this right, then I'm the AzB'er who wants in on this for a G-note or two (you decide) with one minor adjustment to the terms: Rather than a webcast from China, we'll do it when you are next back somewhere in the northeast USA.
Please let me know.

My point is this:
First, does Buddy use this CTE method, or a self-taught, years of trial and error "method" of playing?
Don't you think Buddy's "methods" would be a little different playing from a chair? Chill out, dude. By the way, I can't spell neo cketpo.
I beg to differ on your mad playing ability if you can play with Brady in one pocket. Kudos to you and your record.
And, I like the fact that you got up and played. See, I can be cordial, too. We'll play sometime, one day. I know all about motivation. I encourage it to these young guys. If you don't test it, you don't know you've got it.

Well JB,you have only made 46 post on a thread about who is tired of hearing about cte aiming system. Would that be enough to be considered highjacking a thread? Then you again tell someone if they don't want to read it go some where else,when the thread was for people with opinions just like his. Does this seem right to you? Just tell us when the video is coming out that can explain it in such a simple way anyone can understand it. You have already stated you can show a c player how to use it in a hour,so it shouldn't be hard to make a video where everyone can learn. Just curious,how much is this video going to cost when it does come out? I know its coming! By the way,did you have so much of a problem making balls before cte? Also ,do you think your game has jumped the 8, maybe even the 7 ball since you've been using it?
No, because if someone is tired of discussing something then don't start another thread knocking that something. THAT causes MORE discussion not less.
My game is up a ball at least since using CTE since I am now winning some against better players that I was losing to all the time prior to using CTE.
It's funny that you talk about hijacking a thread and you spend your time attacking me rather than discussing the topic. I wasn't aware that only YOU are allowed to make statements and not have them challenged.
So your idea of AZ is to have people start threads with ADMITTEDLY inflammatory statements (remember Crawfish admitted that he was intentionally stirring the pot) and not have those statements debated? So your idea is that the only posts allowed should be the "dude you are so right" ones?

Bet. The only stipulation is that it has to be a shot that YOU can make first within three tries. If you do then I will duplicate the shot using CTE as my method of aiming or pay you $100 per shot we do. If I make the shot then you lose the $100.
Buddy has some methods that he developed. My point is that you said there are not any shortcuts and learning from a great player is definitely a shortcut to getting better. Buddy Hall said in his book that he learned something from every player he faced. He also said that he dreamed one night of a way to hit the cueball perfectly every time and when he woke up he could. If true wouldn't this be something great to learn?
I never ever said that ANY TOP PLAYER uses CTE or any other method other than what they admit to using like Stevie Moore and Matt Krah when it comes to Pro1.
I had a feeling...
JB;
We have no bet because you added a new stipulation that wasn't in any way part of your original challenge.
Please see six or seven posts above this one where I quoted your original offer. May I ask, why the change of heart?

Good luck getting anything down with our resident genious, circumlocutive case maker or superviser thereof and soon to be (imo 2) aiming system pimp.
The next step in never ending stipulations prior to firming up action might necessitate standing on your head and firing whitey out of your ass:smile:
That just gave me a mental picture that may ruin me for life
, you Sir are friggin Hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is the single funniest thing I have ever read on this or any other Forum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I said makeable shots. So Brian I don't really care who you get to shoot for you but to prove a shot is makeable you have to show me the shot being made before I shoot it. Being that I am not so smart and easily fooled I could lose all my money if I just believe that any shot you set up is makeable. You are a nice guy and all but when we get down to betting I'd like to be sure you aren't hustling me.
If you want to come with some super crazy Vernon Elliot reverse ultra thin bank shot then prove you can do it in three shots and I will either duplicate it or pay you.
It's a simple proposition really. Why are you scared to bet it?

Hi John:
You made a challenge to bet any AzB'er that you can make any makeable shot within three attempts. No other stips.
I accepted your challenge.
You then came up with a whole new aspect for the bet, that I start shooting shots first to prove to you they are makeable.
You backpedal on your challenge, then ask "Why are you scared to bet?"
John, I'll tell you why I'm scared: I'm scared that ribdoner might be right and I can't stand on my head for very long.

For the third day in a row, Steamer Cue Sports Ltd. has developed a new aiming system.
Naw! Just kidding!
Naw! Just kidding!
Crawfish, this battle on 'aiming systems' has been waged on at least three fronts, as best I can tell. Local emergency rooms are awash with casualties. Body's litter the streets. Children cry out for their parents. Oh, the humanity!
Right now there appears to be a lull in the fighting, but just as soon as JB and Manwon catches their breath, the carnage will begin a new.
It's threads like these that give a forum it's vitality. I'm speaking seriously here when I say that every now and then a good forum, and believe me we've got a good one, needs a good enema. We sometimes find ourselves going in circles talking about the best cue tips, or what I should use to clean my shaft with, or can balls in a poolhall carry the aids virus, and things tend to become a bit droll.
Well, threads like this, and others like it, are just what the doctor ordered. A giant enema.
Well done, Crawfish. :smile:

Whatever. You're right I am wrong. So no bets. I was completely in the wrong to make that claim without outlining the stipulation that the shots have to be proven that they can be made otherwise in three tries. Lesson learned.
You got me. If you grow some heart and want to try it with the stipulation that YOU and this time I mean YOU personally have to shoot the shots first then we have action.
So having learned my lesson I am going to outline just exactly how I will bet on this proposition.
1. The shots have to be direct shots with a clear path to the object ball and a clear path to a pocket. No bank shots, no masse shots, no jump shots.
2. You personally have to make the shot first in three tries or less to prove it can be made.
3. Since my time is so valuable you have to post $20 for every shot you want to try. If you make it in three tries then the $20 stays with you. If you miss the shot then I get the $20 for the time I spent watching you try it.
4. IF you are able to make the shot then I will attempt it using the CTE aiming system or whatever similar system that I know (as I may not really know the proper CTE system) and if I fail to make it then I will pay you $100. If I make it in three tries you pay me $100.
5. We are betting on a per shot basis so either of us can quit after the completion of paying off for the previous shot.
Should I have my lawyer send the contract over? I don't think I forgot anything. You have until next March to consider it as that is when I will be at the Super Billiards Expo where I hope to see you there as well.
Well, enema, huh? Leave it to me to find a way to stick it up someone's a$$. Kinda thought this might lead to just a little love.
