Eye Alignment / Sighting Device - Home Made

[genomachino]

This will only work for players that aim with one eye...

Most players need the other eye to see something to get to their correct alignment. I might be misunderstanding your point, but I think we're talking about establishing an alignment using whichever eye or combination of the eyes that establishes a straight line.

I'm very right eye dominant in all testing, but have recently discovered that with the cue stick under my left tear duct I see a straight line to the target. If I close my right eye, all bets are off, as I use a blended image to correlate center of the cue ball.

Best,

Hi Mike,

This will work for the snooker player in the picture because he aims with only one eye. From my studies of eye alignment for the past 5 years about 2% to 4% of players see like this. The one eye is so dominant it aims like a gun.

Unfortunately the other 95% or so of the rest of us would get a very distorted look from this or should I say not the look they will have when they get down on the shot.

These 95% can get down on a shot and open and close an eye and neither eye will be in the middle of the ball.

That blows this theory all to pieces.

I do know what I'm talking about. Colin must be in the 2% to 4%.

This will not work for the other 95%.

From what I know.........

Nice Post Colin,
Very unique and cool. Even though I am left eye dominant I like my right eye over the cue. This way I am at least in the same place each time and it seems to help a lot.

If the cue is under the right eye your right eye dominant.

What makes you think your left eye dominant and the cue under your right eye?

This is very confusing.

The pointing and looking through holes in paper don't work when finding your dominant eye.

If the cue is under the right eye you are right eye dominant.

And I said if?

Basically The coach actually crosses the shot line and feeds his non dominant eye some information that really could cause a double cross if this was a cut shot... Crossing the shot line is as bad as swaying off the shot line as both mean you have thrown out all of the aiming you just did standing up at the table......

Yeah, I saw that Chris.

Here's one for ya.

From a standing position only align your body for a straight in shot using your strongest eye. Now close your strongest eye, does the shot still look straight in?
