I've tried that in the past and I've shot for so long bending my back that my stroke gets messed up doing it this way. I also tend to start missing reach shots when I do it this way. I suppose I'll try it again and maybe stick with it.

I have bad news for you I'm not starting a new thread. When you get a moderator to tell me to start a new thread then I will start a new thread.

Also, something I left out when describing the experiment above was it needs to be performed with both a cut to the left and to the right. Please post the results of both directions.

Please report back with the results.

It is rather unfortunate that something which some people have found very helpful is commercial and therefore taboo to talk about. If it was for free on youtube and say for example the "<insert your favorite contributor's name> method" then I believe it wouldn't be as controversial. I know...

I'm not sure what it would do. Have you tried the experiment I outlined above? Try it with your previous and new and improved method and see how far off your cue is actually off from the shotline. If the cue is still significantly off even with your improved method then yes sightright might...

Honestly I doubt that is the case. I think it is more that he was concentrating on the vision center drop being perfect so much that he was significantly neglecting the cue. If one is perfect and the other is seriously off then you will see inconsistent results. However, if neither is perfect...

It sounds like your reasoning might be correct as to why its happening. When you put all your concentration on one aspect there is no doubt that other aspects will be neglected. Maybe its the same in my case that if i had stopped concentrating on putting my vision center on the shot so much...

Well. If you are aligned with the stick just fine and you don't have problems pocketing balls then why did you want to use sightright in the first place? It's designed for people with these types of issues. If anything you trolled me into these replies.... BTW pocketing balls on a 4.25" GC...

Definitely other pieces were needed for sightright to work. As you are implying there were many pieces already assembled and I just needed to find the connecting piece which in my case was sightright. Try my experiment I outlined in another post. The results of it will show if you are in fact...

We talked about sightright in our PM so here is what I was going to say. Set up this experiment. Put a ball on the second diamond on the long rail about an inch from the rail on the footside of the table. Now put the cueball on the spot on the headside of the table. Now lay a spare cue down...

The reason I suggested it is because dominant eye/vision center is known to shift as you age/fatigue. It might help him. Anyways I'm going to stand by it sightright worked wonders for me and I've tried a ton of stuff in the past with mixed results. The reason for the square position is it is...

Repeating everything a bunch of using different words for the same thing is an effective teaching method. One of my best professors would always review the last class at the start of the next one by doing this. Anyways, the sightright step is definitely easier when you have a vision center...

Sightright is great. If you go to a sightright instructor they might use a laser but the video version doesn't use one. It uses a plastic gadget about half the size of a cigarette pack instead. Sightright combined with what geno taught me has worked wonder for my game. Along with a bunch of...

This and also you might want to look into sightright.

Try squinting your left eye. This seems to help switch dominance. Also if you can try changing your stance so your right eye is in front of the left. This affects the gaze angle and gaze angle can cause a dominance switch. I personally can switch my eye dominance at will. To do it you sort...

Go with a 92' GC and make the pockets tight and you will be happy. Those short cues suck especially length wise. I already miss too many balls short wise with the short cues on my table.

Sure you can. Just like you are a professor.

The problem is its loser breaks so you can't keep him from breaking again.

So I played in a bar box 9-ball tournament tonight and there was a player who would leave a gap (I dont know if it was on purpose) behind the 9-ball every rack and hit the balls really hard and the 9 would end up in front of a corner pocket. Of course the 9 on the break didnt count. I would...
