Left handed chalk - for left eye dominant players

4794.jpg

In snooker Neil Robertson is left handed but holds his cue under his right eye. Maybe another player you could watch for inspiration on stance? He looks very natural playing like that.

Though not sure if I'm replying to a joke post as surely left handed chalk isn't a thing?
 
Hey now I've managed to collect a left handed cue, glove, and chalk and finally can play lights out ha ha they go very well with my left hand action rifles and shotgun and revolver ha ha !

yes, lol. I think this is a beautiful example of why we were taught as a young age, well most of us, that if we don’t have anything nice to say, not to say anything at all.

Thank you, yes, I have seen many examples of professional players and studying their posture is going to help. I have corrected my posture and look forward to making it a habit over the next 30 days.

If you reread my post, I named the chalk “left-handed chalk” in an effort to remind myself to align my left eye center vision over my cue, by renaming the chalk, it’s giving me a reminder each and every shot to get into alignment.
 
usually saying nice things are just to make someone feel good.

the not so nice things usually are constructive.

the very not so nice things let you know who know not to pay attention to.
 
Which leads back to one of my favorite sayings of F***k'm and feed them fish heads or in those in mortal words of Capt Jack Sparrow .....
Sticks and Stones Lovey ha ha

In all honesty life's way to short to let negativity sink in just like a missed shot in a pool game its over time to move on the next time at the table ! Ha ha

Well I did read that I just did a little bit of research and it seems like baseball might be one of the few places where it would be an advantage. Shooting sports such as pool archery rifle shooting and for some reason even tennis it might be a disadvantage.
I noticed in doing research and looking at numerous pictures of Willie Mosconi in almost every instance is his head is half turned and he seems to be looking down the cue with his left eye even though he's right-handed.
Interesting

I once read they being left eye dominant and right handed was an advantage. Especially in hitting a baseball. Seems it would be an advantage in pool as well.

It helps in many things that require a good stroke. For many on here, activities that include stroking have dropped down to only one (on a billiards table) or two (on a keyboard). Thankfully, those two activities help keep this forum going with both relevant and outrageous topics/posts. 👍

Let’s see if garczar follows his own advice. I don’t blame him for being snarky, as I am sure life was hard for a boy/girl during the Great Depression. He/she could still be working out his/her feelings. On a positive note, in the quote above is the best use of grammar and punctuation that I have seen from garczar. One exception, use “an” before a word that starts with a vowel 😉. Example, this is an OPEN forum.
 
I have the same problem with shotgun sports (sporting clays, skeet, etc). I am a mix of left and right-handed, depending on the sport. I shoot a shotgun and pool cue right handed - and I'm left eye dominant. I didn't find out I was left eye dom until much later in adulthood - too late to switch handedness.

When I'm shooting shotgun, I put a piece of scotch tape on the inside of my left glasses lens...so that if I were to look across to the sight of the barrel my vision is impeded - but I can still see straight on. This helps me see birds flying using most of my field of vision - but lock in on the target with my right eye only (left being impeded by the tape).

I never thought to try this shooting pool, but may have to and see how it works. I share this because it may be an option to play around the problem without resorting to patches or changing to shooting off-hand.
