While watching Austria vs Peru yesterday, I realized Albin Ouschan is not just right handed left eye dominant, but cues with his chin completely over to the side of the cue.



He is the opposite of Niels Feijen, who is right handed right eye dominant and cues with his chin completely to the left side of the cue.



The only other player I've seen who was opposite eye dominant from right handed to left eye that cued up to the full left side of the chin was John Morra.





Anyone else here on the forum opposite eye dominant?
And if so, do you still stay center chin but favor that eye....Like ronnie O'Sullivan....





or have you gone completely to the outside of the chin like Albin?
Also instructors, what do you prefer your students do?
 
To make things even weirder I've heard an interview with John Morra that he is actually right-eye dominant, but he sets up with his left eye over the cue. :confused:

I'm also right handed but very definitely left-eye dominant. I do think it helps me to hold the cue a bit closer to my left eye.
 
I'm left handed and right eye dominant though I haven't figured out exactly where my head should be while cueiing I have just learned to adjust the point of aim. Right now it's with my chin over cue favoring my dominant eye.

I'm right handed right eye and right eye dominant, but it's more comfortable for me to set the cue under my left eye. It may have something to do with my astigmatism in both eyes and my right eye is weaker than my left.
 
Wu Qian Jin?
Best player of planet if measurement is Fargo Rate..
I believe he put cue like Albin.
 
I'm cross dominant, right handed and left eyed.

I said this before and I swear for sure ... 100% that I read the following years ago in either Billiard Digest or Pool and Billiard Mag.

Someone in some tech article was discussing cross dominance and said, it was a good thing, since anyone who is cross dominant has their dominant eye leading their body in its 45 degree stance to the shot.

Personally, I don't think it is as important as becoming comfortable and this is one great gauge of how to stand regardless of eye dominance.

Im right handed, right eye dominant but only feel comfortable shooting lefty. I can shoot ambidextrously but feel comfortable Lefty. Its a strain on the body though.

I'm right handed and heavily left eye dominant.

I've tried having the cue center under my chin, all the way under my left eye.

I tried Joe Tucker's third eye stroke trainer, and the way I lined up with it that worked out best is to have my cue almost completely under my right eye.

Stroke works a lot better that way

Which just goes to show that your eye is more important than your chin.
Albin is centering the shaft under his dominant eye, similar to how one lines up
to shoot a rifle. An approach recommended by some guy named Willie who
once made 526 in a row.

Dale(who only wishes he was cross dominant)

I'm right handed, right eye dominant but my center of vision is on my left eye for pool. So, my cue is to the left of my nose but not directly under my left eye.

He might be using the pointing and look through a circle test to find eye dominance. These are about 50% accurate. Half swear by it and half swear at it.

The ones it doesn't work for don't even understand.

John Morra has what I call ocular vision. He shoots with one eye like a telescope.

John might be right handed, I don't know, but if the cue is right under the left eye that's pretty conclusive for sure.

I studied about 20 top players while on the road. By asking questions from these top players I was able to really help the lower level players that see like this.

This is the way their brain is wired and they cannot help it.

I have ran into students that had ocular vision that had tried forever to shoot in the middle with terrible results. Once we got them moved over the aiming became pretty good.

The snooker player doesn't have ocular vision. If you tilt your head the same way as his is and look the cue is just to the left of his nose.

But he looks like he is left eye dominant.

Most of the players that I find have ocular vision don't even know it. Pretty obvious though. All they have to do is close the other eye and everything stays the same.

From what I've seen with over 2,000 lessons traveling around, about 5% of the general population are like this with ocular vision. They aim a lot better than the other 95% because they are aiming like a scope.

The other 95% with normal right eye/left eye dominance don't have either eye in the middle of the balls when they close one eye and then the other.

This is what Perfect Aim is all about. Getting the eyes in the most dominant position so the shot can be sent correctly to the brain.

I've never seen anyone that teaches exactly what I teach with the eyes. Close sometimes. At least they know which eye is dominant. But they don't know how to tweak someones aim manually.

Good luck.......
