That's pretty funny but.........
Lol...couldn't resist
i've been playing pool on and off since 1971 and i always thought i was right handed. that was until last week when i had a telephone lesson with gene albrecht.he helped me discover that i'm actually left handed. my shotmaking has improved significantly since learning this.if you're having any problems with your game or just want to learn a thing or two, i suggest you contact gene. he's very knowledgeable and a heck of a nice guy.
This is just about as ridiculous it is when I teach a player how this works. It's almost like they were shooting with the wrong hand.
Some players are just off sometimes with the eyes a little bit. They play pretty good but miss a shot here and there. Others that are down around the 3 level are way off. When I teach these players how to get the eyes right they are simply amazed. They can go from missing the shot 5 times in a row to making it 5 times in a row. It's that obvious.
I think you stumbled onto something here.
When you cut a ball to the left it is the left eye that is actually doing the aiming.
When you cut to the right it is actually the right eye doing the aiming.
Cutting the way of your dominant eye is the easiest for everyone.
Cutting the other way is like shooting with the wrong arm. In my lessons I say it's like kicking with the non dominant foot.
In pool we get pretty good shooting to the right and to the left. Our eyes get there naturally pretty good for some but never as good as if we manually got there knowing how to get there.
Just like if you shot opposite handed most of the time you would get really good at it.
But until someone learns what I teach they wouldn't have a clue how close your funny statement is to the truth.
2 out of 100 people have ocular vision and only shoot with one eye. For them this does not pertain. It's just the way their brain is wired.
This is why the results are so overwhelming when I teach someone Perfect Aim. They are finally seeing the shot correctly all the time if they take the time to align it correctly.
And this works for almost everyone except those 2%. But the other principles I teach work for those players also. Even more so.
But this is how hard it is to tell players how well this works. can you imagine if I walked up to you and told you that you were shooting with the wrong arm?
You would tell me or at least think about where I could go with my info.
But this is how ridiculously simple it is to teach what I teach and the results are just about as ridiculous.
This is why nobody gets on here and trashes what I teach because it just flat out works.
The only ones that say anything negative are the ones that don't know, think they know it all but don't or saw a little bit of it and think they know but really don't have a clue.
I've taught this to other teachers and they don't even teach it because it's too confusing to figure it out for each individual I guess. it's not really but it can be confusing at first. But the correct dominant eye really has to be determined first and unfortunately the conventional eye dominance tests just fall short and don't work for most.
This was a problem I ran into when I first started teaching Perfect Aim. I was counting on the circle and pointing test to find the dominant eye. After finding out how worthless this test was I found a fool proof method when players are down on the shot that they can figure out for themselves. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes sometimes but the results are always right and the player knows for sure that it's right. Only then can the aim be tweaked to the max.
Not as simple as finding the dominant arm or leg. We do so many things both ways that we just do it pretty good both ways with the eyes.
I hope this makes sense because that is why Perfect Aim works. it's just the way it is. If the eyes are positioned so it looks good it is good. if it looks wrong it is wrong.
Simple as that.
And Tom will be the next Perfect Aim believer and he will see it with his own eyes. When we get done there will be no telling him it's any different because seeing is believing.
Looking forward to working with Tom for sure............
Simple as that.
