I’ve been watching a lot of videos of the best players. Niels, Fedor, Joshua, etc. One thing in common: they all have their face square to the shot, even if they align opposite side-eye dominant.
In particular, I watched Albin O. Absolutely meticulous. Pleasure to behold.
Due to physical limitations, I simply cannot get my face perfectly square to the shot. It hurts to do so, and contorting my body, even in the face of the discomfort, is tiring and not sustainable for more than a few racks.
Attached is a photo of about the best I can do. Even this position breaks down after 45-60 minutes.
Question: am I destined for a lifetime of inconsistency or can I overcome and play well with a slightly left-right tilt? Any tips to making this tilt work?
(Yes, I know the answer is spending 6-8 hours a day working through this, but at 67 I don’t have the stamina, or to be honest, the time. If this is the answer, then so be it.)
BTW, in this photo I’m pretty happy that the cue is under my vision center, just right of my substantial proboscis.
Thanks, Doug
