I'm seeing some difference in eye placement in regards to cuts to the left and cuts to the right. Would like to see the go pro shooting same shots but strapped over the left eye and then strapped over the right eye.
Thorsten H. with his Go Pro camera appears to be sweeping in on his shots.

Manual pivoting is only a foundational training tool for complete system understanding. It has zero to do with real playing.
I think a lot of players sweep into their aim lines, it's a very natural movement. Very few players come down directly on top of the aim line, with the cue held vertically in front of them.
I think the difference between this natural movement and the aiming system's use of the movement is the establishment of the initial line. Pro One, SEE, 90/90, etc. all establish a line that is NOT the same as the shot line and requires a movement, pivot, sweep, etc. to reach the actual shot line. Thorsten is visualizing the actual shot line from the beginning and just arriving there from the side.

Since a go pro is attached to your head, how it is supposed to show what your eyes are actually focused on?

I think you can rent Google Glasses now. Or not.
Pivothead glasses would be the thing to get. They are only a couple hundred bucks compared to google glass, and they are equal video quality if not better. The lens is also on the center of the nose, unlike Google glass that is off to the edge.

I'll try to do a headcam perspective soon. I just recently got a Contour Roam2 cam. First try I did was strap it to my cue for fun. I'll try to update this thread when I do a headcam perspective

In response to my previous post above, Here is a quick video I did using a POV camera. I also filmed the practice session with my main camera for the table view.
By watching the video, I have a hard time seeing the CTE perceptions I was seeing when doing these shots live. This, IMO, proves it is impossible to capture on video as your eyes work very differently than cameras.
However, I think it is cool to see pool from the player's perspective. For me, it helps me see some of my faults that I wasn't aware of.
Anyways, here is the Video. Let me know what you think!!

Thanks for the feedback guys! This rack was just one of my 2h practice session with the camera. I did practice specific shots with CTE called out, so will try to fetch them out and slow down the video. Putting lines on a video is easy if the image is paused, but very hard if it is moving, as you ave to modify every frame
In my next test, I will try to do one of those famous "1 shot 6 solutions" by calling out all th possible perceptions and pivots:
Green= 15°Perception
Orange=30° Perception
Blue= 45° Perception
Purple=60°Perception
*= same shot line
LEFT CUTS:
- ETA inside *
- ETA outside
- ETB inside
- ETB outside *
- ETC inside (single line, no CTE)
- ETC outside (signle line, no CTE)
- 1/8th inside (Very thin, might miss at long distances)
- 1/8th outside
Right CUTS:
- ETC inside *
- ETC outside
- ETB inside
- ETB outside *
- ETA inside (single line, no CTE)
- ETA outside (single line, no CTE)
- 1/8th inside (Very thin, might miss at long distances)
- 1/8th outside
I'll update this thread when the Video is ready
