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.

I've been having a bit of fun but to make a point. Those photos are both me probably 10 years apart. When I was just "naturally" lining up a shot the cue was near my left (dominant) eye. The more I studied the fine points of my stroke delivery I found that I had better results with the cue...

Well, that was my question to you. I asked you how you know that the dominant eye is above the cue in all those photos you posted. You still haven't answered.

Sorry. Some of us aren't lucky enough to be retired. Is the guy on the left left or right eye dominant? How about the guy on the right?

I could do that but you really don't know which of those players is playing under their dominant eye or not, correct?

That's not a disability. Many people (usually thought of as weirdos) are like you. :)

What makes you think that is their dominant eye? How do you know?

That's what I figured. if somebody had come back and explained the situation I gladly would have returned it.

How true that is. Nice guy... My change story is this: A teen comes into a business I had around 1999 and asks if I can give him a $20 bill for two rolls of quarters. I said sure and we made the exchange. Two minutes later I realize that was pretty stupid and I better open the paper rolls...

You should have asked him to break a $5 with two $10's.
