Left eye dominate, right handed

You can but it's not necessary. Technically as long as you can get a consistent image, you can learn how it shoots. My eyes are not exactly balanced and I use the double vision to center the cueball between the "two" sticks. I can honestly shoot like I have equal 20 20. Serious.

next...
 
I for myself am not able to see with my right eye "really"- just a few percent on the right eye. So it s clear, that my left eye is super dominant.
But there is a but :-)
These few percents are enough, to *give" a slightly different result if i would close my right eye. My "head position", ( means:where i hit the vertical axis perfectly) moves slightly to the right with my *right eye open". It s maybe a few mm or maybe one cm. But it s definitley different!

So a "lazy eye" can still some work for you :-) -- because finally both eyes *put this image" together.

What straightline has shown up with is basically the same- just that he used his own words- but the result is the same. (aka finding his perfect head position for his eyes-)

bbb also wrote the truth :-)

just shorter, lol.

have a smooth stroke everyone.

How do you determine dominant eye in pool?


Don't focus on your thumb; focus on the distant object. You'll see a ghost of your thumb, since your dominant eye will be in line with both your thumb and the distant object, while your non-dominant eye will be seeing past your thumb, directly toward the distant object.
Glad you brought this up.

By chance do you know how one can find their vision center?

Google is your friend.

I'm also cross dominant (left eye, right hand), one thing I've noticed is that it's hard for me to really get down and put my chin on the cue, it throws off the ergonomics of my arm. Then again, being a little higher up makes it easier for me to see the angle between the pocket line and the line of aim. The effect of the offset is reduced if I don't center myself as well, I tend to put a wee bit of right English on draw shots and left English on follow.

Looks like his dominant eye is in line with his cue...reminds me of Ralph Soquet (sp?).

He could be one of the 10+- % whose vision center is in alignment with his dominant eye.

LOL, wonder where Kieth McCready's vision center is? :)

Funny you should mention Ralf Soquet.
That's me in the picture and I played Ralf 9 ball for a couple hours once and we broke even.
And yes my left eye is over the cue and I shoot a little side arm.
