So the idea is to do that in order to learn cue ball control?
Shooting Arts mentioned he and JoeyA are going to get together this week and tinker with eye patterns. I look forward to their drawing from practices employed by wading birds. (I think Hu's serious)
From my take on this topic... When I'm controlling whitey well, I find my eye pattern is critical to success. I try to make it a part of the pre-shot routine whereby before I get down on the shot, the second to last thing I do is take a brief focused stare at an exact point where I want the CB to stop. That "locks" that spot into my brain. Then I lock into the OB contact point and go onto the shot.
I think the "cue pointing" in practice could make me more disciplined in "real" play to lock in the CB destination.

I'm still laughing!:thumbup:
The birds know . . .
The birds taught me what Geno knows, long before Geno made the DVD. Watch a wading bird just before he strikes, particularly if his target is underwater. They triangulate their targets with awesome precision.
From wildlife photography to pool. Knowledge is where you find it.

Darn it HU! I told you not to let these guys know about our upcoming video. You really don't want to make any money. :angry: GENO.....................

Maria and I have had a longstanding relationship that can only be described as "perfect" :thumbup:
Great idea. I've done this when practicing by using a dime. I never seem to have problems stopping at the dime in practice, but when it counts, I turn into a dog!
This sounds something like "target pool". I don't know if you are familiar with this pool game and I'm also not sure if it's still sold anymore.

When I was very young after getting down simple shots and a stroke my father would make me move a quarter around the table every shot and try to lean the cue ball on it for position. It wasnt very often you could put the rock right next to it, but man do you feel like a champ when you do. I still do this drill about once a week with all of the games I play. Its also easy to do at a pool hall since nobody really notices a random quarter or penny on the table
