Hey AZB,

I've been wondering for a long time, how to become a real shotmaker. So I decided to work all the aspects out so that I know what to train.. and then someday I will never miss a shot (okay.. almost never )

I want to share the information with you. I made a video where I put all these things in and also put a lot of interesting things into the video description. In my opinion these things are the key to become a great shotmaker in pool. Do you agree?

Hello. Do you represent a SightWright system in any way? That is a good one and really helps.

I like it, good job. The quality of the video itself is excellent. The eye alignment is new information that I haven't heard before. One thing that also helps is to make sure to actually watch the cue ball contact the object ball. I know when I do this, my shot making is very good and as a side benefit, I will always stay down.

Thanks for the vid.

Very good quality video... I also like your dominant eye explanation.

The cue needs to be in line and must be pulled back along that line.

Awesome instructional video. Your detailed explanation and visuals regarding the ghost ball aiming method and your explanation and visuals on the importance of finding your correct vision center, were both the very best I have ever seen!

Many thanks! I haven't played in months because of age related macular degeneration in my left eye. I quit in frustration..couldn't stand missing shots 80% of the time that I'd make 80% of the time before this condition appeared. Now I realize I might be able to get back to where I was by a simple sight realignment? I'm going to give your alignment tip of using a set-up straight in a try!

I understand this video is aimed mostly at beginning players but shouldn't you say something about throw when discussing the ghost ball system? Or would you leave that for the subconscious adjustments?

That was simple.
I always felt I was right eye dominate, now I know for sure.
Thanks

I learned shot making a different way.
When i was a 16 year old kid i played pretty good.There were times i played grown men for money with out a penny in my pocket.
It was not a good idea to miss very often.Warning:this could be hazardous to your health.

I didn't mention throw because I am working on a seperate video for that. But thanks for the hint!

The amount of throw on any particular cut shot, with the exception of possibly spin induced throw, is just extremely hard to account for and predict, with any consistency, as it can be affected by so many variables. In trying to keep this video simple and straight forward, I can certainly understand why he did not want to bring throw in to the discussion, not yet anyway.

You are doing fine -- better than a lot of native speakers. I had placed your accent a little farther east.
