Hi I'm a right handed right eye dominat but I've always played with my left eye over the cue played like that very well for years but my left eye is going bad very blurry I've tried for years to get my right eye over the cue and cannot figure out how to do it the only way is to play with a very open stance so open that my left foot is basically behind my right foot no matter what I do my head just seem at a angle. Imagine a clock that I'm aimed the cue at the 12 but my head and eyes are aimed at the 1:30 no matter what I do I have played at a b+ speed mostly but when I realy
Start playing every day I have played at A + speed I also recently lost a 100 pounds and I feel like it destroyed my game my old stance just doesn't work any more so any body got any tips on how to get my right eye over the cue! ....... Also can some body please teach me how to post a video on here
Here is my take on it. Stand facing the table squarely with your feet comfortably apart and with your cue at port arms. By that I mean holding the cue with your grip hand at the right position and the bridge formed at the right location but with the cue in front of the body.. The relationship between the two arms should be like it is when you shoot. Keeping the relationship between the two arms, bring the cue up to your chin, touching it on the right side so that you are in the shooting position, but still standing up. Arrange your feet in a way that makes it comfortable to get down and keep moving them around until you are stable and balanced in your cueing position, but keeping the arms and chin locked cue constant. This is your starting point. Take note of how your feet are placed, and make sure you are not straining your back or neck in any way.
If this didn't work for you, try this:
For a right eyed, right handed player the right foot should be on the shooting line. Facing the table squarely with the feet pointing slightly out, shoulder width apart or slightly more. Bend the left knee and bend your body forward at the hips NOT THE WAIST! Remember that when you bend down your body will twist to the left! If you put the cue on the table up against the cue ball, your tip should be nearly touching the center of the cue ball but pointing slightly to the right of the line to your intended contact point depending on distance between the cueball and the target ball.
When down in your stance, your body should be comfortably tilted to the left, so that the left armpit is low to the table. This will assist in bringing the shooting elbow behind the head. You should be leaning slightly forward, but fairly evenly balanced like a tripod. If you can't bend that low, you could bend both legs at the knees, but the left more than the right, for the same effect. Your cue should be brushing against your right side of the chin, as well as the right side of the chest. This is the square on, snooker stance.
