I have the same problem with shotgun sports (sporting clays, skeet, etc). I am a mix of left and right-handed, depending on the sport. I shoot a shotgun and pool cue right handed - and I'm left eye dominant. I didn't find out I was left eye dom until much later in adulthood - too late to switch handedness.

When I'm shooting shotgun, I put a piece of scotch tape on the inside of my left glasses lens...so that if I were to look across to the sight of the barrel my vision is impeded - but I can still see straight on. This helps me see birds flying using most of my field of vision - but lock in on the target with my right eye only (left being impeded by the tape).

I never thought to try this shooting pool, but may have to and see how it works. I share this because it may be an option to play around the problem without resorting to patches or changing to shooting off-hand.

I know center CB is advised when you don’t need spin for positioning, but I’ve found that particularly under pressure and late in the rack, even when CB position is not needed, it’s more comfortable for me to apply some inside or outside, as I’ve done my entire life as a pool player.

I’ve found that I’ve missed some really crucial easy 9 ball shots trying to convince myself to try to hit center ball, but then I guess subconsciously in the middle of the stroke I either accidentally apply spin and don’t adjust my aim point or visa versa, causing a miss. Does anyone else experience this?

Tell me the percentage of times a WNT pro hits the ball center only?
It ain't even 30%

I've tried the whole hitting it up and down the table thing to see if the cue ball comes back to your cue tip. Turns out I'm really good at hitting the centre.

But if I try and hit the bottom centre and get it to come back to the cue tip, it feels like an impossible task. I do feel I miss more when playing draw shots so quite probably this is the cause. No idea how to fix it though.
