I don't understand. I've directly answered your question at least once. In this post you gave a thumbs up. https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/dominant-eye-before-any-aiming-system.563394/page-4#post-7796155 I'll try to be as straight forward as humanly possible: 1. The ob/cb/shaft...

That's what Mark Wilson says. I decided to go with the location where left and right half-ball hits went in when they looked "on." It's interesting because I don't line the shaft up with the shot. I get down on the shot with the cue aligned to what I know is straight, based on work with the...

Yes, that's the definition of vision center. My point is what good is VC if it is not the head location that lets you play your best? Bob's comment is that for beginners simpler is better and VC is a good place to start. Some in this forum seem to act like VC is the be all and end all. I...

We could pipe you up to the cogen plant.

Sorry, I'll try to be more clear. I think it get tedious when someone writes a novel about their set up. I did hit some balls yesterday to be sure of what I'm saying. No. It is pretty much under the center of my nose. A BCA master instructor first found my misalignment (cue under corner of...

My dominant eye position has never changed. I'm left-eye dominant. I'm talking about someone who really understands the working of the visual cortex and perception. For instance, while my dominant eye is the same, my perception about what "looks right" if I just get down on the shot has...

First off, I think there are two kinds of "looks straight." One is where I was many years ago where I put the cue wherever it felt natural and everything looked to be in alignment, but wasn't. The cue was angled a bit and then as I took the cue back I corrected the angle before going forward...

You beat me to it. I'm thinking of building a cogeneration plant in my back yard to power it and my house.

... and leave your cue in the trunk of the car in 100 degree heat so it gets a nice warp.

It would be nice if someone who was an expert in visual perception also became a pool player. It feels like we're missing something. My VC 20 years ago is not what it is today, I believe, but I'm not sure, I think maybe.

I'm not exactly clear on all of that. My recollection is that I wanted to find a head position where 1/2 ball cuts appeared the same cutting left or right. That position is not a vision center as defined.

Well, I'm a very interesting guy so....

IMO you can't do as good a job by hand.

FWIWI I've never said much about dominant eye position relative to vision center. If you define vision center as that place where you end up keeping your head then I guess I can't argue with that. Although that makes its definition so all-encompassing as to be useless. The actual definition...

The fact you think one of those characterize my situation means I haven't really explained things very clearly. I wasn't planning on spending a lot of time on this. If you follow the vision center thing it is supposed to put your head in a spot where straight looks straight. That does not...

Yes, of course. But his problem might not be that crooked looks straight. I don't know if beginners even see the end of the cue when they shoot. You really can't see more than a fraction of the cue when down on the shot so the take back needs to be on line, not exclusively the optics. Well...

I have always enjoyed your witty remarks when they were directed at people who would not entertain reality (you know of whom I speak). In this case, however, those kinds of quips tell me you have your mind made up and won't even consider other possibilities. Maybe you are a master instructor...

Wilson teaches what he calls an "orthodox" position which includes the chin over the cue. He also says every body is different and if certain orthodox positions are difficult to achieve, then you have to do what you can. Please see my reply to PJ for more.

Nah, but you can probably "do this genius hack" to double the size of your penis if you download it.

My point was that maybe vision center isn't any more important than eye dominance.
