LOL. If that's a direct quote, I don't even think he'd agree with that if he read it back to himself as it makes no sense. From what he wrote in his last couple of posts and what you reacted to, he was vague but not wrong and didn't have anything that silly in there.You can pull any sentence out of anything someone says and say it's right, and it may very well be right. But does it answer the question? If you continue to allow him to take you out of context, you will certainly be on a world tour. Best of luck with that. Take pictures and post them here as you travel. LOL
And as far as right and wrong: Can you name the pros who stand so parallel to the shot line that they have to turn their head away from the target to avoid neck strain? I'm curious who does that. --- or is that not one of the parts he wrote that you agree with?
The closest thing to that I can think of is if you are sideways and parallel(ish) to the shot line, as you would def find yourself in some spots leaning over the table to shoot, you could strain your neck turning your face square to the shot line. To alleviate any strain, you don't square up the face and allow for the more natural alignment in that position of having the left eye closer to target than the right (for a rightee). So, maybe he meant that their face points way right of the target and they sight from that slanted/tilted position rather than turn their heads towards the target and introduce neck strain. That would at least make sense. It's not that they turn their face away from target, it's that that is the direction their face is naturally aligned to in an extreme setup like the one described with feet on the same line parallel to the shot line.
Edit: As for pros who have kinda extreme stances, I did mention Morra, who had a kinda goofy looking one with his feet close to being on the same line and turned his face to square and sometimes to what looked like past square to right eye slightly forward as he tried to get his dominant left eye over the cue as a right hander. Result: neck strain that forced him to switch to shooting lefty.
