Dominant eye?

E
This is something that I struggle with as I am a hot mess. Right eye dominant shoot pool left handed, shoot a gun right.....throw a baseball right football left, golf right hit a baseball left and fish with both hands.....Like I said a hot mess. I am trying to to find an instructor to help me drill down on finding my vision center and then building solid mechanics behind it. Problem is that after 30 yrs of playing I have acquired numerous bad mechanics and muscle memory that need to be undone

straightline: "Can you provide the logic behind this?"

Just like everyone else these world class pocket billiards performers don't know what they don't know.

The individuals with the most knowledge and ability to execute that knowledge come out on top.

What if they knew more?

Scary thought

The "you don't know what you don't know" applies to everything, the people who don't understand that and think they know everything are usually the ones with the most problems.

Looks like the 8 ball has 52 teams. Groups A through M had 4 teams each.

For whatever this is worth they had 720 players there. Not sure how that breaks down into different teams and events.

Based on the commercials they run in their breaks and the numbers of ads and banners I'm guessing they'll be just fine. One of the few pool events I've seen that had advertisers/sponsors from outside of the industry.

I played it last summer. I really hope someone starts up a league closer to me. I really enjoyed it. Just not enough to commit to a 220 mile round trip drive in a MN winter.

I think they will do fine and continue to grow.

The bread and butter was supposed to be the team events. They added so many events between legends, seniors, juniors, womens, open, league, that the number seems right, but 51 teams is really really small for a national event.

I am right handed, my vision center is exactly on the inside corner of my left eye. It has caused me tremendous problems for a long time, where I would stand square to the table and painfully contort myself to see properly. I shot well but it caused tendonitis in my shoulders and I would have trouble falling asleep nights I played. I had to finally start over and completely rebuild my stance and stroke around it. The process took about 10 years total and I had to live with sub-optimal playing for a long time. My failure was not finding an instructor that corrected my horrible intuition when I first picked up a cue.

I see the top two pics are from a poolhall. Nice tables.
Can't tell from the bottom pic.
What poolhall are these from and where?

Someone locally said there were almost 200 teams.

From looking at the brackets it appears there were 51 8 ball teams and 20 10 ball teams.
Anyone else have different numbers?

They kept adding divisions and things like legends, doubles, Jack and Jill, etc. but overall they had to have taken a HUGE bath on this.

Additionally, they were advertising that if you didn't win your way for a trip to the Grand Nationals, you could buy in at $2850 a team.

Also numerous posts about starting matches really late and telling people they need to be around for when their match is ready.

Not sure how long they are funded for, and I don't view them as the IPT, but to try and overthrow Valley/BCA, and APA probably isn't going to happen.

What are your thoughts on the financial aspect, potential growth, etc.
