I looked on your profile. I found it very sad to see that under "Friends" it says "Figueroa has not made any friends yet". Indeed a sad statement!! Hope your life gets better in the future. I guess no one wants to be friends with a totally negative person, huh?
lol. You are so "Glee."
I cannot believe anyone would be such a schmuck as to believe that "Friends" has any meaning in real life. *I choose* not to f*ck with any of that. Obviously you are still stuck in high school and think the number of "Friend's" a person has on a web site is some critical measure of their worth or contribution.
Loser.

Now Lou I don't think you are getting the point. This could not possibly be your best effort at a positive attitude. I think you need to try again. I know you can do better. I'm sending postivie thoughts your way to help you. And yes, friends do have meaning in real life. OK. Waiting for another try on your part. Wishing you the best.
Your knowledge was evident.......
Hi there Frank,
Your knowledge of the game was very evident.
I really enjoyed showing you this. One reason is I know that you teach and can help so many others enjoy the game that they love.
We need more people like yourself in this pool world.
I'm having so much fun teaching this from my recliner. I could never have dreamed that I could help as many players as I have in the last 4 or 5 days.
Today I even had a player call me from Rome Italy. He is a huge student of the game like yourself.
Out of the almost 30 players that I have helped here everyone of them has been a home run. That's what makes it so fun.
It's something that nobody else in the world is teaching and it works.
This cross dominant eye thing is another reason why a player needs to know their dominant eye to correct their aim and see the shot correctly.
I've had a long day. I took 7 calls today. I'm kind of pooped.
If I can make a difference in just one players pool life each day I consider that a great day.
I'm going to go hit some balls. I can't wait to practice what I preach and that is everyday.
Thank You for the kind words.
Thanks again Geno..........

I cannot change my dominant eye at will, but it will change on me. I havn't exactly found a rhyme or reason, but it will change. I'll go from dead stroke to.. ehhh... what happened! After slamming 2 or 3 balls dead into the rail, I switch to my other eye.
I do not know the cause, I'm guessing my eye gets tired??? Seems when I play early in the day, my right eye starts off dominant and will switch mid day. Like when I play in an all day tournament, I notice. Now that I understand the problem, I'm quick to fix it.
Haven't read the responses, but being opposite eye dominant is a HUGE advantage in pool.
This may sound silly (wouldn't be the first silly post in this thread), but I have found that the easiest way to correct my left dominant eye over my right handed aim is to cock my butt towards the left when I am down on the ball - away from my stroke arm.
It seems to pull my eye over just the slightest bit without using neck/back muscles. I don't do it consistently, but when I'm having one of those days where I just can't see the shot, it seems to help.

For a guy that's supposed to have been educated by Jesuit Priests, Lou is one of the most negative people on the forum. I guess that's why it is so easy for him to fit in with the rest of the NAYSAYERS.

You're right, not my best effort...
How about this: on your way down the chute to the bottom of my bit bin please try to not hurt yourself, or land on any of the guys already down there. There's about a half dozen of you now -- guys that never add any value to the discussion -- so there's just enough of you to form a Glee Club and be "Friends" with one another ;-)
Lou Figueroa
Joey, you need to take a look at your own posts. They are, without a doubt, some of the most negative on the group.
Lou Figueroa
I've always thought my posts about CTE/Pro One were positive and fair. Oh, you mean my admonishing the NASAYERS for the way they post disrespectfully to other forum members with perspectives and opinions different their own. If that's my negative posting you're talking about, then I'm guilty.
JoeyA
That's my point, regardless of how you justify it -- you are just as guilty.
Lou Figueroa
Players switch and don't even know it........
Hi there Cleary,
Your right, your stuck with your dominant eye and by forcing it to stay in the dominant position you can keep that good look or should I say most correct look to give you the best chance to execute the shot.
When we get tired it is real easy to let your head and eyes drift a little making the other eye work as the dominant eye. When this happens it doesn't quite look as good but you can still see the shot. It might go and it might not even though it looks good.
When you have the dominant eye in the correct position there is only one way you can go to screw up the shot because if you have the head moved the other way you lose the shot all together.
Your aware of the other eye becoming dominant. The next step is learning how to keep this from happening. Very simple to learn.
Good Post. Thanks geno...........

Louie,
Now you know that is not any better than your last post. Maybe even worse. You are still not getting the concept of "positive", huh? Just like you can't seem to begin to understand CTE/Pro One. Have you always been a slow learner? You can get a copy of the CTE/Pro One DVD on justcueit.com. It might help even you.
So let's try another angle. Before you click on "Submit Reply" for your next post ask yourself, "What would my mom think if she could see what I have written?". If the answer is "She would think I am a little turd." then don't send it.
Now try again and try harder to think positive and be happy. We all know your can do it and will be rooting for you.
Be happy and just maybe you can get a friend.
I guess my motivations are different than yours and the rest of the Naysayers.
Lou,
Now that is a step in the right direction. You have now admitted that you are guilty of always being negative. That is the first step to getting better. The next step is, of course, to not continue your bad behavior of always being negative. So post something nice now. You'll feel better after you do it.
Think Happy and Positive.
Makes sense to me...................
Hi there,
By doing this shift you are moving the whole cue to the left a little and it doesn't take much at all. The reason the shots aren't looking right is the right eye is becoming a little dominant and that little bit screws up the vision of the shot.
It takes very little to screw up the shot and it takes very little to correct it sometimes.
Many players do alot of adjustments to be able to see the shot correctly.
The old standby way of doing it is playing 8 hours a day seven days a week. We call this getting in stroke and it does help your stroke to a certain degree.
But the main thing all this playing is doing is getting the eyes in the more correct position from repetition. The more you play the more your eyes will get to the most correct position naturally.
The problem is when you don't play for a few days your right back where you were with the eyes. Unless they know your little trick with the shift. This will work as a quick fix if they do it just right.
Your cocking the stick in seems to work for you and helps get the eyes there.
Pretty smart. Most piayers never figure out how to make it better. Moving the cue over or moving the head over accomplishes the same thing either way.
If you are left eye dominant/right handed, you want the cue as close to the body as you can and still feel comfortable. This will eliminate the feeling of having to cock the head way to the right.
Once you start with the dominant eye in the correct position in the preshot your dominant eye will just naturally tell you where the best position is for your body as you move into the shot.
Instead of shifting or adjusting it will all just line up naturally.
Thanks Good Post. Geno.
