Dominent Eye Quiz. Answer. What is the MIDDLE?

[LAMas]

Hi there LAMas,



...The rest of us mortals shoot with the cue somewheres between the eyes. We are the ones that have to deal with what eye does what....


Have a great day Geno........... I am from back in the day.....

I think I get the jist of your post now.

You are there for those that don't/can't get comfortable aiming with the dominant eye, if any, over their shaft.

I have a dominant eye so I can't see what it's like to have no dominant eye and thus, finding a consistent "middle" would be important.

Thanks and a Prosperous New Year to you.:smile:

The middle is kind of a big area.........

Hi there LAMas

Everyone has a dominent eye. In this middle there is only one place to have that dominent eye to see the shot correctly. Depending on the degree of dominence depends on where this eye is at in this middle. Any other spot in this middle distorts what you see and is the cause for many missed shots. The further off you are the worse you miss. But I guess it doesn't matter how made you missed. Kind of like being a little pregnant?
If you miss your turn is done. Pregnant it's just beginning..........

Some players are close to where they need to be. These are the players that see the shots the best or should we say shoot better. The ones that shoot worse have more trouble identifying this spot naturally.


Could you imagine how tough it would be to go out hunting with a gun that the sights were off. Everyone else is shooting the deer and you can't hit the broad side of a barn. You go out the next day and the same thing. And the next and the next and the next.

This is exactly what pool players do if they are having trouble seeing the shot right. They don't have their eyes exactly where the natural sight is for that shot.

Fix the gun you shoot the deer. Show the pool player how to find the natural sight and the shots start falling in.

It's actually pretty simple. Just ask someone that understand and has learned Perfect Aim.

Have a great day and thanks geno...........

I was pleased to find Gene's DVD in my mailbox today. Thanks Gene!

Now then, I will review the DVD and the Perfect Aim method it contains. To do this as impartially as possible, I intend to do the following:

I will go to the pool hall with my laptop and the DVD. I will play 10 racks of six-pocket and write down my score, to get a "clean slate" snapshot of my pocketing abilities. Then I will watch the DVD and try to understand by my own what it's all about. Then (provided I understand what I should do/try/change), I will play several more sets of 10 racks of six-pocket again, trying to apply the method, and see if anything improves.

This should take an afternoon. Gene says his method brings immediate improvement, so if I got the gist of the method, I should get better scores rightaway. If however nothing happens, and I feel like I could get better by giving the method more time, I will apply it over several days. If nothing works, I will schedule a phone conversation with Gene.

Also, I asked a friend to review the DVD as well. He has a bad case of crooked shooting arm and he knows it, but has a very hard time overcoming his defect. He agreed to give the method a try, with his own understanding of Gene's explanations, and his flawed fundamentals, so we'll see if he gets something out of it. He'll use the same methodology as mine, so the results are comparable.

I will report our impressions of the DVD, our scores, and what we (subjectively) believe we learned and gained (or not).

If you reckon I should use another methodology, let me know: the idea here is to evaluate Gene's aiming method as fairly as possible, so if you have better testing ideas, I'd like to hear them.

Stay tuned for more on Gene's Perfect Aim method
