i think we are misunderstanding each other. when i say 'one eye closer to the shot line than the other' , i mean closer to the object ball & cue ball, so that means the head turned slightly, while i think you mean that the head should be as square as possible and not with one eye more forward...

ok, so from reading what you're saying, i don't think it's technically wrong to have one eye very slightly closer to the shot line than the other but it's just a matter of comfortability, the eyes aren't as comfortable as they are when your face is completely square to the shot. i have been...

hi everyone, i have another question about head alignment since it seems to be one of the most complicated subjects. basically what i want to find out (assuming that i have found my vision centre alignment) is : when coaches advocate that the face should be square to the shot, do they mean that...

i think you need to use some donuts to guarantee that the shot is set up dead-straight. can you still set it up perfectly without some sort of equipment?

i heard it from a user on here (which i don't remember the name) and also by another user who used to post here years ago who went by the name 'Pidge', he told me that in a long PM conversation we had years ago. he was a very knowledgeable poster but i think he was talking about how to align...

dr dave says in one of his videos that you should be able to follow the CB in the same pocket 5 times in a row..i don't know what others think of this but to me even with very good fundamentals this seems extremely difficult to do if you have medium/long distance between the two balls. it would...

is it true that if you play with your inside eye (cross-eye dominant), that you need to place more of the heel of the back foot on the line of aim and if you play with your outside eye you need to place more of your toe on the line?i place the middle of my back foot and i'm cross eye dominant...

"The farther out on your dominant eye that you place your cue, the less accurate you will be in perceiving center ball, and the bigger the adjustment" actually she said this in the beginning of the thread, she didn't say it exactly as i did but it was something similar.

fran, as i said i play more consistently under my left eye, but sometimes i lose the correct line of aim as i'm getting down on the shot when i try to set up that way. i remember you mentioning in one of your posts that as you change the cue alignment from center-chin towards one of your eyes...

it's possible that i did it wrong since there are optical illusions created by the cue,balls and pocket but i have tested it many times carefully so i don't think it's very likely.

yes, i've checked all that stuff

yes i just mentioned in the beginning of this thread that if i play center-chin (under my vision center), i play very inconsistently and i cue across the ball very often

so today i went to the ophthalmologist and he did several tests on both of my eyes. he said first of all that my eyes were very healthy, (no myopia,astigmatism etc) and that both of my eyes have almost equal dominance. my left eye is just slightly more dominant but he said the difference is so...

thanks for clearing this up fran. it seems that i will have to go to an ophthalmologist to find the degree of my eye dominance. im 99% sure that it is my left eye but i'm not sure about the degree of it.

i don't worry too much about that stuff anymore. when i'm in the standing position i place my back foot on the line of aim without aligning my head, and as i come down i bring my left eye under the cue/line of aim naturally without thinking about it.
