Hi Scott,
All I had to do was look and I can see your in Battlecreek, Mi. I'm going to keep in touch with everyone on this site. One of my students that I taught PERFECT AIM to Heather Tourpin Just got second at the Junior nationals in Florida. This weekend she got 5-6th in the womens pro event in Tucson.She's only 18 or maybe 19. I think 18. I talked with her yesterday and she was saying especially the cut shot she used to miss that she was just shooting them right in. Her testimony from when she had the lesson is on the www.perfectaimbilliards.com web site.
You being a teacher yourself know how proud you feel when you can make a difference in the way a person plays. People are going to hear alot more about this girl. She shoots her butt off.
If you see I'm going somewhere with my Perfect Aim and your going there also be sure to let me know.. Thanks Geno......................

The DVD got in today, thanks Gene.

Well, I watched the video 3 times. The information is interesting, all of it is good to know.
I'm right eye dominant shooting right handed, but my eye dominance seems to be greater when CB and OB are further apart, which is probably normal.

The stuff about thin cuts definitely helpful. I tried it and I can see it useful although my thin cuts have always been a strong point.

The straight in shoots.
I move forward with cue pointing straight into the shot, when I get lazy and fail to do this than my game falls apart.
On very bad days the butt of the cue is actually not in a straight line but a little towards me.
However, on good days, when I land there is no wiggle left/right or whatever, 99% of the time the picture is perfect and any head movement makes it worse.
So, it looks like my biggest problem is delivering the cue in a straight line not aim.
Anyway the information in the DVD is useful for the days when things are falling apart as a sort of a check.

The cut shots.
Well, this part I may be missing something because I just could not make a ball when applying the info or what I understand it to be.
My problem of overcutting to the left got actually worse. The moment I stopped thinking about it the balls started dropping again.
The good thing that came out of it is that it made me think about the aiming process I use.

Example. Object ball on the spot and the CB on the 2nd diamond vertically down from OB in the kitchen, the cut will be to the left corner pocket, center ball hit.
1. I stand behind the CB in such a way that if I was to go down this would be the shot.
2. Move to the right and get into the line where OB is pointing straight at the pocket.
I'm actually standing in such a way that if I was to bend I could shoot the OB in the pocket. I don't point with the cue.
3. Move backwards to the starting point concentrating on that line I don't pick a point on the OB and don't put a ghost ball anywhere either.
4. I stand far enough from the table so I can move forward into the shot, if I'm close to the table and just go down I will miss.
At this point I'm still concentrating somewhere up there by the OB but now it is a relationship of two straight lines in a way I see 2 sides of a triangle it is a picture as much real as imaginary.
5. I move forward with cue leading the way.
6. Get down landing in my setup. This is the shot, there is no adjustments, none. The throw is already calculated in.

If I was to use english, that decision would have been made before point 1 in the example above and I would have the appropriate compensation calculated in.
I don't use parallel english.

DOES ANYONE OUT THERE AIM LIKE THIS????
or am I just out to lunch....................

Hi there,
I was practicing tonight and was having a little trouble myself. This is a common problem with everyone that learns PERFECY AIM including myself. We get lazy or just forget. We might be tired but for some reason we forget to position the eyes where they need to be. Once I started focusing real hard to position the eyes it started to fall into place. The hardest part is to realize that we're not getting them there.
You should try to get so that when you get down you have the eyes in the right position right away so the adjustments that you make are very minimal. If you have to move to much get up and try to get back down again. Make sure that when you get down there is no cue movement at first. That will help you aim.
Another thing I have to work on myself is looking at the object ball when I actually stroke the cue. Your body will follow your eyes and if your eyes are not looking at the object ball your body has nothing to follow. Kind of like you have the light on at home but you need to shut it off and then walk accross the room. Even though you just looked your careful when you walk.
Standing back and looking at the shot is good. This will give you a picture of the shot and the amount of the object ball you have to hit. But the most important part is knowing how much of the ball you are going to hit exactly before you get down. That way you can get your eyes in the correct position right away when you get down. Now all that is left is the fine tuning. And the final goal is to get down and have no movement needed.
The straight in shot and the thin cuts are pretty cut and dried with PERFECT AIM. They really show you how the eyes really work. The rest of the shots are inbetween these two. Having the head and eyes in the proper position will help you make alot of shots that you probably would have missed but if you really want to play at a real high level you need to know how much of the ball you are going to hit before you even get down.
Give me a call and we can go over some things. See ya later Geno......

Hi there,
I know this might sound a little crazy but I've always wanted to go to Canada. What city do you live in? Is there a big poolroom there?
I've always wanted to go to Canada. Is there a bigger tournament near you in the next few months? Or even a smaller big tournament.
While I am there I could teach some other players PERFECT AIM.
I hear that when you fish in Canada that you don't hardly even need to put bait on your hook. My father went to Canada fishing once and had some great stories.
Let me know. If I can get up there I will work with you a little. I need to see what the cost would be and I know it would be fun.
Have a great day. Geno........................

Just received the DVD today. (Watched it at work) Interesting idea's that I never really thought about but now that you mention them it makes some sense to me why I don't feel "good" on a certain shot or why I like cutting one way instead of the other. Can't wait to get out and really hit some balls and do some experimenting. I hope this helps to reduce the number of balls I miss. At least I think I have an idea why now.

Thanks,

[genomachino]

hello genomachino

I would like to point out that.. eye placement and eye patterns.. have been taught for years by many varied competent instructors.

it is only 1 piece of the puzzle

you might have good info.. I don't know.. I haven't seen your material

but your one nugget of info will not complete the puzzle for anyone who doesn't have the rest of the pieces...

I won't bash your system because I don't know it yet.. but..

when anyone claims that 1 thing will change the game for an individual.. and produce produce a champion from a banger..

I am afraid I am a bit skeptical..

Hi there soft shot,
I don't think I replied to this , so here it is. Since I have been teaching the PERFECT AIM it has gone from survival to satisfaction. When I took off for Vegas in May I had a dream that I could teach this to alot of people and improve the way they played pool in a very short period of time. I believed so strongly this would happen and wanted to help all pool players that against my docs orders because of diabetes and hardly no money got in my van and took off. When I left everyone thought I was crazy. Most of them had never seen Perfect Aim because if they did they would have understood.
The trip was hard enough all by itself but then I broke down in Denver for a couple of days. Then I got as far as Richfield,Utah and broke down again. After 2 days of trying to figure out how I was going to get to Vegas I signed the title of my van over to this guy that had a little car lot and gave him $600 down on a little car 1999 Chevey Metro. That left me about $200 to continue my trip. He wanted $1500 for the Metro and I told him I was going to give some lessons in Vegas and I was going to try and win a tournament out there and if everything went right I could pay for the repairs on my van and pay him the balance on the little car. I kind of felt like I was playing pool for $5,000.00 a set and I was on my air barrel.
By the time I got to Vegas , from breaking down, not getting enough sleep, and not eating exactly how a diabetic should I was totally exausted. I knew it would take me about 5 days for my body to recover from the trip but I didn't have 5 days.
The VNEA tournaments were starting the next day after I got to Vegas. I played good but I just couldn't keep it up and got knocked out of both the 8 ball and 9 ball before I cashed. Now I went to work on what My original plan and that was to spread the word of PERFECT AIM and give some lessons. I was still so exausted that I almost felt like giving up. I gave about 10 lessons in the next 4 or 5 days and tried to get some good rest and eat some good food.
Then I saw that there was another tournament that I had never heard of before. ACS American Cue Sports. I hadn't played much over the past 10 years so I had no idea. I asked if anyone could enter and they said yes but you had to pay the saction fee so the entre fee for the 8-ball and the 9-ball was around $350. After I paid the entree fee I noticed that alot of the better players that were in the VNEA tournament were staying for the ACS tournament. This would make it just as tough to win as the VNEA tournament or tougher. Oh well , here we go. I got put in the losers bracket in the 9-ball early so I had to play alot and ran out of gas. I still got 4th so that was $500 so at least I got my entry fee back.
Then it happened. Between getting rested up and eating right my mind and body was there. I hit a gear in my mind like in the old days. The only problem is if I could stay there. I did and got $2000 for the win.
After the tournament with expenses and everything I still didn't have enough money to get my van fixed and pay the balance on the little car. I had a friend in Phoenix that told me I should stop down there and play in some tournaments. I did go down there but to promote the Perfect Aim . I knew in my heart that this was a winner. And everyone that I had showed it to was so amazed and their games all improved immediately that I knew I just needed to show it to enough people and soon they would talk to more people and soon I would have too many lesson to get done. That is exactly what happened. I stayed there for 2 extra weeks and somedays I would be giving 4 lessons. It was really taking off.
Then the Desert Classic Tour came up. They have some of the best players in the country right in Phoenix that play in these. I ended up winning that. This really increased the lessons and the rest is recent history.
I went up to Utah. Put a trailer hitch on my van. Bought a tow bar. Paid for the repairs on the van and paid the balance on the Chevy Metro. Then I headed to Denver to teach PERFECT AIM there. I've been here for 3 weeks and given about 30 lessons here. I've won a bunch of tournaments here and had alot of fun with the lesson. I'm heading to Iowa where I have about 5 lessons lined up before I get there. Then it is back to Wisconsin to try and recharge my battery and recoup some. This trip has taken alot out of me and with some rest at home I'll be as good as new. This has been a 4 month road trip for an old pool player that never thought he was going to play again. The game of pool has done so much for me over the years that it has been really nice to give something back.
I'm not claiming to make everyone an instant champion but if you can't aim right nothing will work. You can have the best stroke in the world, the best ball selection,the best break, and all the knowledge in the world but I can tell you what. If you can't aim none of the above will do you any good at all. I have logged a little over 800 personal lessons with PERFECT AIM. With the personal lessons there has not been one person that this did not help. In fact they are always very excited about what they learned because they understand why and how. They can see what they are trying to see. They can see it working. That's why this has become such a big deal in the past 2 months. AZ Billiards is I think the best forum and site in the country. I need to thank AZ and Mike for helping to reach so many people so fast.
I'm going back to Wisconsin now to remake the video. The original video was made to suppliment a personal lesson so the person that got the lesson would never forget what they learned. My goal with the new video is to really make it clear how this all works. I've learned alot of different ways to explain PERFECT AIM so everyone can understand it totally. Right now there have been some questions so I call players back and give them some personal instruction and that seems to do it.
On this trip at one point I felt like I was on my air barrel with life. Now I can focus more on spreading the word of PERFECT AIM and having the time of my life.
I don't know how many great testimonials it will take for some people to understand that PERFECT AIM is for real but the people that have learned it all know. This is the way it is and there is no other way. It is the way the eyes work and once this is understood the sky is the limit. It's up to the individual on how far they want to take it. Without being able to aim they have no chance. I would never tell someone that they can't become a champion because you never know what's in their heart. And I can tell you this that if you can't aim perfect there would be no champions.
I guess if someone told me that they were going to do what I have done in the last 4 months I would have doubted too. I feel like a champion just by getting a second chance at life. Everyday I wake up I feel ilike I'm getting the 7 , 8 , and the break. All I can do is win................................................

Have a great day Geno..........................

Hi there,
You will find that this is the way the eyes naturally aim. That's why it makes sense. Your misses should be cut in half real soon once you get the hang of it. Now you will have the ability to correct the shot that just doesn't look right. Have fun with Perfect Aim and let us know your progress. Have a great pool day Geno...........

 

[Mowem down]

Well you have'nt took the $ and ran yet...

thats a good thing I'd say... That was 1 heck of a story you wrote a few posts back.. I was thinking if you gave me the name of that car dealer I could go there give him a down payment and tell him "hey you know that guy that came through here with the van, well I bought his video and Im going to go play in a few tourneys know, Ill pay you the rest when Im done....

You never did answer my ?, when you make the new dvd I get to trade up right... And if you havent thought of it, watch your first dvd with a pen and paper make some notes so you know what to fix, do better whatever...

P.S. Hows that metro running you can trade it in on the cash for clunkers program and make a few bucks on it....

 

[back2good1]

Perfect Aim has really improved my banking... I am surprised this is not talked about more on this thread... Anyone else apply this to banking yet?

Chicago or Big Tournment

When are you coming to Chicago or Detroit? Or will you be around one of the big tournaments like Galveston World Classic or US 9 BAll Open teaching? I live about 2 hours east of Chicago and work with a lot of rooms in Indiana and Michigan. I also have a friend Sandy Schuman that is the editor of Inside English magazine based in Detroit.

Thanks

Hi there,
The car dealer would have come out like a car dealer (bandit) because he had the signed title for my van worth about 7,000. It's going to be alot of videos to upgrade but we already have it in the works to do this for just the shipping and handleing. No charge for the video. We will set it up on the web site. The new video will have 2 or 3 new things on there that are pretty slick. These things have never before been used by anyone. At least to my knowledge. This was going to be a surprise to all the people that already bought videos but it will still be because alot of them won't see this.
But the main thing is the original video gets the message accross loud and clear. It would have been a shame to wait another 2 months. It sure has changed alot of pool ratings in the last 2 months.
Have a great day The new one should be out in about a month.

Hi there,
This is one thing that I bring up when I give the personal lesson but not much on the video. By getting your head in the proper position it just makes it so much easier to see how much of the object ball you are hitting. Not only banking the balls but playing safes also.
Thanks for bringing this up. Again, keep up the good work with the tour. Have a great pool day. Geno.................

 

[iusedtoberich]

Well my video just arrived today and I just finished watching it. I've been learning this game for 15 years. I've never seen this information anywhere. I've very eager to try it on the table.

 

[iusedtoberich]

My preshot routine is similar to yours. My process is:

1. Put tip almost touching cue ball and rest it on table. Tip is already at the right english location (left or right) and stick is already pointed in the stroke delivery direction. This means I've already allowed for squirt, throw, curve, etc. I'm holding the stick with only my grip hand at this point, and standing vertically. And my feet are in a specific relationship to the butt cap on my cue. **See note.

2. Without moving my stick or my grip hand, I move my front foot FORWARD to its final place. Then I move my back foot sideways to its final place (not at the same time)

3. Then without moving the stick, my feet, or grip hand, I bend into my stance. I then place my bridge hand right under my stick, in its final location.

4. The shot is lined up now, and I shoot it (I'm leaving out my stroke and eye pattern sequence)

This preshot routine helped my game half a ball easily. It helps tremendously line up the body to the line of stroke delivery.

**I worked hard to experiment with my body placement while standing up. Once I found a method that worked, it was super easy to remember. Now any time I come to the table, I know exactly where to put my feet in relation to the butt cap of my cue, so that when step and bend down, everything falls into place. Every person will have to find out their own ideal body placement.

I'm eager to see how Gene's eye positioning method will improve my game.

The DVD got in today, thanks Gene.

Well, I watched the video 3 times. The information is interesting, all of it is good to know.
I'm right eye dominant shooting right handed, but my eye dominance seems to be greater when CB and OB are further apart, which is probably normal.

Hi there,
Chicago is in my neck of the woods. Eau Claire is about a 5 hour drive. Chicago would be a good place to do some personal lessons. I showed this to Ike Reynolds and he just loved it. He told me he was struggling a little and I told him that Perfect Aim would fix what was ailing him. Sure enough he was saying that's why and now I see. We became pretty good friends. He's a pretty nice guy. Good for the game. I going to Eau Claire on the 28th. On the 4th I'm going to the Shiooting Star Casino tourny. After that I am going to redo the Perfect Aim video. I've learned alot of ways to help people better understand the concept. I need to eat right and sleep right and excersize for about 2 weeks. I've been on the road for 4 months giving lessons and promoting PERFECT AIM. I'm going to miss Galvaston because the Shooting Star is the same time. Anyway it will not be until October for sure. I wish I could be everywhere. Everyone that I teach can't believe what they learn. Maybe I could get a bunch of lessons lined up there first. That would get me there the quickest. Keep in touch... Thanks for asking Geno................

i just ordered the perfect aim video. like 5 min. ago. and now i see your going to remake the video? completly understandable, but i wish i would of read the post's today before i ordered the video.

i live in sheboygan wi. and yes, ziggy's a good friend of mind. ive been playing (practicing) with ziggy for about 2 years now. about 3-6 days a week. unreal how he can run 3 out of 4 racks of 8ball ALL NIGHT (4hours straight). he help me turn to a AA wi-bca-ranking.

after ziggy took your lesson a year ago, he kind of explained it to me. in his own words. i dont think he really could explain exactly how and where to move "the eyes" (without revealing to much). on one long extreme cut i seen the EXACT spot on the ob to hit. ziggy has alot of really goofy ways of shooting so i took it as a grain of salt after the 2 min lesson and then we just played.

after reading all these posts. it would be priceless to see that EXACT spot on EVERY shot. i cant wait for the video. but i was hoping when u get back to wis. and get your new video made. i could take a lesson and swap video's.

Hi Scott,
Don't worry. You want this info as soon as you can and once you see it you will know why. The new video will be about the same. I'm just trying to make it better and easier to understand Perfect AIM. After this one I will try to make it even better probably.
When I showed this to Ziggy he was like a kid in a candy store. He shoots so good you would think he would never miss and then pow. I'm sure this helped him to understand what was going on with the aiming.
He was one of the first people I showed when I started the Perfect AIM crusade about 6 months ago. I was giving lessons at the state tourny in wi. at the time. I know he was surprised at what he learned. I havn't heard back from him but I'll see Ziggy soon. I'm going back to wi. this month. Say hi to him for me. He's one of the good guys in this sport. He's good for the game and plays good too. He's always a tough battle.
Good luck with your PERFECT AIM and if you have any questions give me a call. 715-563-8712. Thanks Geno......................

Quick update:

I tried the material for the first time last night. Didn't get too much of a chance to fool around with it. And I didn't remember all the principles from the video.

But after a few minutes of fooling around with cutting a ball to the left (my weakest cut direction), I found the "vision" that gave me a much improved picture to my brain. Once I found this improved vision, it was very easy to return to it on subsequent shots. I even changed the way I bent down over the ball so I was more likely to get into this improved position immediately, instead of making adjustments while down on the shot. At the end of the night, I set up a shot cutting a ball to the left and with a firm speed. I might make it half the time normally. I shot it and made it 7 times in a row. I then jinxed myself and told the person I was with (we were about to leave) that we couldn't go until I missed the shot. And of course I missed the next one, but made the following, and then quit. So I made 8 out of 9 shots, for something that mabye before I was 50/50 to make.

I didn't fool around with it on the right cut shots, just my weaker side. And I tried the straight in shot method, but forgot how the video said to do it so I never got that one.

So after watching the video once, then trying out the stuff from memory the next day, I saw VERY promising results. I know I did not do everything exactly according to the video, because I forgot some of it. But just remembering that the video said there is a perfect aiming point gave me reason to fool around with the concept enough that just by experimenting I was able to find it. I might not have found teh perfect spot, but I found a much improved spot than what I previously used. Actually I never even used a spot before, but now I know such a spot exists, and can strive to find it.

That is what Gene is referring to in this thread when he says now you never have to "give up" on a shot. Cause now I have the knowledge to know that the correct picture of the shot exists, I just have to find it. And I know now how to find it.

I can't wait to try it out more. I have my laptop with me so I can play the video right at the table to make sure I dont forget it again.

And for the record, I'm a feel player. I don't know how I aim. I just know how much of the ball to hit through repetition of all shots, all englishes, etc. I don't think half ball, quarter ball, ghost ball, or anything else at the table. This has nothing to do with that. This method worked on top of my "feel aiming" without any problems. I imagine it would work just as well for the system aiming people, but I have no first hand knowledge of that type of aiming.

I'd also like to add like others were saying you still need teh "whole package" to be a player. Stroke, knowledge, cue ball controll, etc. However, Gene said this is the beginninng of that. After I saw the clearer picture I have to agree with him. If you get a differt or incorrect picture in your brain eveyr time you shoot a shot, the rest of the "whole package" is going to be more difficult to develop. Your body will get confused. But if the picture is correct every time you shoot a shot, the body will be right in line with what the brain interprets the eyes to see. And the rest of the "whole package" will develop much faster. Your body will trust what your eyes see now.

I texted a buddy of mine and told him he must buy this video, cost does not matter. I don't gamble with him anymore. I told him not to tell anyone else in our room about it. Thats probably the best endorsement I can give.

8th best player on AZ in 2009. That's quite an accomplishment. I just want to beat the GingerBread Man even-up, like men, at one pocket.

You have made a lot of posts on AZ and so I think people can take what you have said to heart.

Your endorsement is sure to bring Gene to the next sales level. :wink:

I think he deserves the success.
