Try this at home. $100 if you can do it.

By the way, just for the record, this method works on toy tables, with marbles, balls of different sizes, coins, jar caps, potato chips, whatever you want to use to shoot one object into another object towards a target.

Guess someone needs to make a video proving that as well. :-)

This is a toy table on my desk. Stan's method works perfectly to make balls on it.

LMAO!!! Great video by the way, John show us yours. I know you said you didn't do it but I am interested in how close you got.
 
I don't know how any type of aiming system has anything to do with this.Unless you know where the hole is.

Think of putting someone on a golf course they have never been to,,pulling all the flags over the holes. Then dropping a ball out in the middle of the fairway.
Are you saying he can look at the ball,use CTE and somehow line it up right at the hole?

On a pool table there are still many reference points,even if you cant see the hole ,like shown. But you are guessing where it is,,then aim,,in whatever manner you like to call it,,but you are aiming at where you think the hole is!!

Looking at the ball does not tell you where the hole is!! Are you kidding me??

Unless maybe you have shot so many times from every spot on a table,,you just know where the hole is!!! Then I could say ,,use my guess the hole,,GTH aiming system.
Any way you put it,,you need to know(or think you know) where the hole is before you aim for it!!
 
All I've got is this..

If CTE is so powerful, go ahead and post that video today of yourself doing these things. Unless, of course, it's the shooter and not the system.

Have fun!

I would but I don't have room for a table. But I might think about it and try to run it informally on one of the rental tables.

Sounds like a good idea. Should I bar Stan and Landon from participating?

If I were Stan, I would rent a booth and do the game as I described as well as sell his DVDs.

careful because I believe a pretty good player without pro1 can do this especially if he practices.

That's fine, anyone who can do it can get the money. $100 is nothing to me but I simply doubt that anyone is going to try other than those who are already proficient with ProOne.

I will make a further offer. The first person who does it gets $100. From all the others who do it I will draw for a $200 case credit.

There, no one is left out.

I agree with you. I think his first one is all sold out though. But I would definitely do exactly as you described. I think he could stack them to the ceiling and sell out in a day.
 
I would try it,,but the banking has me beat just watching it. I don't think I could go bank that many balls,,in the same way,,without the curtain there!!! lol

I would if I could but I am not well practiced with it. However I did learn one important thing watching Stan's videos and I believe that with a little more training on that thing I will be able to put up a credible video along these lines fairly soon. And by that I mean in a month or two. Right now no time to train hard at pool.

But you're a banker. How about you show us ten banks in a row with the rails covered? Stan made three railers, two railers, and one railers.

Duplicate just the banking video and I will send you $50.

When you really learn it you will understand. Of course you have to face the right direction but you don't have to look at the hole or use it in any way to aim the shot. That's the point of the videos.

I will after SBE. Then I will build a frame for the curtain. Right now I just have a small one that fits on the table made of PVC pipe. I will say this, using my verison of manual CTE I dogged my brains out trying to do curtain shots about two months ago. I haven't tried it using ProOne yet but today after watching Stan's videos I had a lightbulb go off on how to do ProOne that had me splitting the pockets on my 4.33" pockets for all but a few long shots.

I would, too, but not only am I not well practiced with it.. I'm not at his speed, don't have something that can record easily and am really too lazy. I didn't post up the challenge, though, alluding to the idea that CTE could make all of these shots on its own. Since you do know CTE, you shouldn't need to practice this, right?

:deadhorse:

It's not CTE that is making the shots. It's a man who is well practiced in the method he is demonstrating. It's not like someone walked in off the street and got a five minute lesson and is banking balls in the blind like a champion.

This is the pinnacle of where someone can go with the method in my eyes. I think it's a very powerful demonstration.

There are people out there that do not want cte/pro1 to work! they want it to just go away for some crazy reason lol :D They are more of the old school ways.
 
This thread is new to me and have not read it.

Just so everyone is aware, I will be redoing some videos. That means some links will not work. I just redid curtain 3 and it will appear tomorrow.

I will redo curtain 2 at some point and some others.

I do not want my background music to pose any problems copyright- wise.

Don't take the videos down until you get a notice from YouTube.
 
Stan I think you should do a quick video on how the system is tied to the table dimensions. I am sure you will have this in your new dvd but maybe you can give us a little bit of an idea of how it works and it will help people understand your curtain drills better?

I'll just reiterate the point.

These videos are not about whether these shots can be made with or without CTE. Of course it is possible to make them with any method, given enough practice and experience.

The point is, specifically with CTE, the pocket is not used to line up the shot. The pocket is used initially to determine the targets on the CB and OB. Only the general location is necessary, not pin-point. Only the CB and OB are needed to find the eye position that takes you to center cue ball and ultimately to the exact shot line. That's it, that is the system. There are no tricks, no eyeballing or estimating the exact angle, no one catching balls, and no he's not looking under the curtain.

Some people cannot fathom the idea that you can pocket a ball just by looking at the CB and OB. There must be some other tricks, such as knowing the exact angles through years of experience. But this is not a trick. The system works as advertised, and the only way to truly recognize this is by experiencing it yourself.

Yes, CTE takes practice to become proficient. You cannot do what Stan does merely by understanding CTE. It take time and effort like anything else.

The videos prove that CTE/Pro 1 works as described. That does NOT mean, nor was ever implied, that anyone that learns the system can do the same thing. They can't, and they can't for one simple reason- consistency. Stan is a pro, he has the consistency to do the same thing over and over the same way. Until one has the consistency of a repeatable stroke, shot after shot, they will miss some balls no matter how they aim, or no matter how perfectly they initially set up on a shot.
