fixed Vision Center issue -- I use both eyes INDEPENDENTLY !

Please don't twist my words, Dave. I don't twist yours. You're an intelligent guy. There's no need for that. You don't have to agree with me but don't try to turn my words against me. That's low class.
Fran,

I just re-read all of the posts above, and I honestly can't figure out what words you think I twisted or tried to turn against you. We obviously have very different opinions on this issue, and I think we both expressed ourselves well and politely.

Feel free to PM me if you want to explain how I offended you. Regardless, thank you for the interesting discussion.

Catch you later,
Dave

chicken style!

Mark Shelby the snooker player does something very similar as he starts to warmup stroke, swaying his head ever so slightly back and forth ( more of a lateral shift really) before he gets still and fires...
I have always thought to myself that he was checking the line up with both eyes.


Years ago before aiming threads were banished to the seventh hell I told the story of chicken style aiming. Years later somebody thanked me for that post, said they still used it.

I was seriously into outdoor photography which inevitably means you end up taking pictures of birds, lots of birds. They have to be doing something interesting for the best pictures so damnit, by default I became a bird watcher, of those with wings. I noticed the wading birds with long necks and long pointed beaks they stabbed prey with, shifted their heads to right and left a few times or more before striking. The tougher the shot like striking a foot underwater, the more they studied it with this head movement. As you mention, this isn't turning the head, it is shifting the whole head side to side.

Feeling silly on a pool table one day I tried the head shift. Dang, on shots that needed a very precise cut it did seem to help! I humorously labeled it chicken style aiming or the chicken theory of aiming and posted about it in one of the fiery threads about the one true way God intended people to aim.

I forget about it for ages but if I thought about it with money on the line I would use the sway to try to make a very tough cut. It seems to give you a little better 3D view of a ball when you see that tiny bit more of it. You know a little bit more precisely where it is at.
