Nice little picture

But now that you have brought it up, if these guys can use a head tilt then why can’t CTE users?
 
Those guys need a head tilting and eye switching service pack .
Opposite eye or parallax alignment are nothing new .

could be thats their vision center position

Jim Rempe explained his parallax alignment in the Meucci video with Lori Jon Jones.
Earl is the strangest one. Has the cue way outside of his right eye.
First one I saw who lined up with eye opposite eye was a former pro from San Diego whose name escapes me .

Pretty easy to conclude some of them have head tilts from the posted pictures. Are you that much in denial?

Let's say they do .
Let me get this straight, ARE YOU RECOMMENDING A TILTED HEAD INSTEAD OF A LEVEL ONE ?

When did this tilted head service pack come out ?

I’m not recommending anything. But if someone wants to tilt there head in order to play better then I’m ok with that. I see no need to try and make fun of it.
I know nothing about a tilted head service pack. Why are you trying so hard to be an a&& on Az today?
 
Well Pro Player use what they get for free, or get a stipend to use.

Some even use a Meucci, or Cuetech, because it was free, 💰attached to using it.

The other thing is Pro are practicing full time, or a whole lot more then recreational players.

I am sure the Pros all use some sort of aiming systems depending on shot.

Every-time I watch U-Tube from some bug even the great player have bad days, and miss what looks like an east shot, or miscalculate an Cueball does wild.

Pool is not an easy game, some time it’s frustrating.

Does the first player at the top left of the screen seem to have it at his vision center? He could have a patch over his right eye like a pirate and it wouldn't bother him.

I believe that's Albin Ouschan. I was watching one of his matches and his chin was below and to the right of his cue. I assume he must be strongly left eye dominant. I'm also left eye dominant but I can't get that low without making my stroke more crooked.

no way to know how much info from his right eye he uses but probably some

I've found that my left eye is nearly everything I consciously see and my right eye fills in just a little bit further around the right side but helps with depth perception. I suspect you are correct that an eye patch would have little effect on his game. Some days, a blindfold would have little effect on my game.
 
This is an interesting one. I understand that Neils has little or no vision in his left eye.

...it seems he is strongly left eye dominant and yes thats HIS vision center. (jmho )

Not just your opinion, Larry. It's a pretty good bet that every player pictured has his cue at his personal "vision center" position.

There seems to be some confusion about what "vision center" means. It doesn't mean the cue is physically centered on anything in particular, or that it's in the same position for everybody - it's the personal eyes-over-cue alignment specific to each player where straight looks straightest. The dominant eye plays the major role in defining that position (as it does in seeing generally), and the cue is most often closer to or under the dominant eye, but not always.

I'm guessing Dr. Dave coined the term "vision center" in part to distinguish it from fixed definitions like "centered between the eyes" or "directly under the dominant eye".

I knew something was missing... :)

Cross dominance like yours is pretty common - maybe 45% or so. Players cope with it by turning their head to bring their eye toward the cue, like you, or by bringing their cue farther under the torso toward the eye, like the first pic. I'm lucky to be left handed and left eye dominant - left handers are more likely to be cross dominant than right handers.
