Lining up center cue ball and dominant eye

Dave, have you ever been to the mall and there's that annoying guy at a kiosk really trying to sell you a product you can get on ebay for $0.30, when you never asked about it? He tells you how much different his is, better it is, exclusively from him, and he will give you a good deal on it for $50, its kind of like that.
 
Oh NO!

O Ya I wouldn't even give your boss a 2 weeks notice . :idea::rotflmao1:
 
Line up a straight in shot. Make the ball and follow the cue ball to the hole.
3.5 diamonds apart and ball 2.5 diamonds away from the pocket should be ok.
 
The secret is simple and under valued.

When players do not address the shot they are not successful. Every shot. From there you set up.
With out properly addressing the ball how can anything happen successfully.
Your Cue must move across your body in line with your line of sight.
If you do not see the line by addressing the shot your head will move to the line. Problem?
Screws every thing else up.
Address your shot. From there everything moves but your head off the line of sight.
Watch a cheetah run. Same thing. It's head does not move off it's target.
Nick :)
 
Right then use the muscles in your hand, wrist, arm in perfect harmony to get the straight stroke at the perfect speed, and get great position. Because you always use great pattern play you too can be a pro. Watch out for jacked up shots though they can throw this all off a bit. See no problem, see yall on the tour in February!
 
When new players buy something and get screwed they most likely won't buy again from one of the instructors that knows what he/she are doing. I hope the small bar tournaments wise up soon and a few on here wake the hell up. Johnnyt

Rick,

Do you have Stan's DVD? Have you purchased it? Has he given you one?

Have you seen it?

If not, would an exchange of material possibly be in order?

At least perhaps for the sake of reference.

Sorry...

I'm not inclined to help YOU understand the difference.

It's finally conclusive........

There are 2 problems here with getting to the center of the ball.

if your dominant eye is not in the most correct position in the preshot your adjusting your eyes to the cue ball while you are going crosseyed because you are looking at something close.

If your not in the center of the cue ball you can't even tell so until you raise your head up and look.

Now if your dominant eye is not in the most dominant position your not even seeing the shot the way you should in the first place.

Add in that your hitting a little off center of the cue ball and you got a real mess.

This is the real deal.

These 2 factors are why players miss many shots.

My game has went back up to where it was years ago and i'm 62 now.

I'm hitting dead center on the break and that also has gotten back to the best it's ever been.

I've won 10 out of the last 11 weekly tournament since I've been getting to center ball and I'm telling you the competition here is pretty stiff. A lot of good players here and many of them are playing in these weekly tournaments. Winning this many is almost kind of ridiculous.

I'm working out 2 hours a day trying to get this old body back in shape from some surgeries that I had. One was a total knee replacement and the other was on the other knee to remove about half of the meniscus. I need that knee replaced in the near future. If anyone watched me limp around they wouldn't even believe this was happening. I havn't been able to travel far because of my health. Exercise and eating right and proper sleep are my best friends right now.

I am offering to help some players for free with a phone lesson here. Each and everyone of these players will see with their own eyes why they need to know Perfect Aim and then be able to clearly see that they are getting to the middle of the cue ball with a little effort at first but it will get automatic very shortly.

I stumbled onto this because of my own struggles trying to play as good as I can like all the rest of us. I'm still doing a bunch of lessons each week and love to play also.

If you want to play the best pool of your life call for this free phone lesson. it will help you understand Perfect Aim and get you to the center of the cue ball without having to just try and grind it out each time you get down forever.

If it's working for me and the 30 or so players I have worked with here in the Twin Cities it will pretty much work for everyone.

715-563-8712 Just give me a call any afternoon. If I can't do it then I will set up a time that will work for us both.

I appreciate the passion if nothing else.

No body can tell a player how they should sight. They don't see what they see. They can however give them certain tests and drills to help them to discover what works best. Is it worth paying for? No. Dave has as much info on sighting on his website than anyone could ever need. I've made a thread with a make at home method to finding your sighting position, Beebs has and a few more have too. All are simple and cost no more than a McDonald's to make.

I wouldn't ever expect to be paid for helping someone find their vision centre.
 
Not hardly.........

You will see beyond a shadow of a doubt that what I say is true.

This is way ahead of it's time. Just because players can't comprehend this in their minds right away with a couple simple thoughts doesn't change the fact that it's the way it is.

The Perfect Aim that I teach is what has unlocked this valuable information.

Everything seems to start there.

It's crazy that players that don't understand what I teach at all have so much resistance to something that really works so well.

By the way. How much have I charged everyone?

I'm getting fried by just trying to share something really amazing.

I really don't blame anyone for being skeptical. There is so much garbage out there that just doesn't work.

Many of the things that I hear about and investigate as far as pool aids I'm usually very disappointed with.

The truth will set you free..............
 
Yes they can..........

In 10 minutes I can take a 3 in APA that can't make a straight in shot with 10 tries and have them shoot the same shot and make it 5 to 10 times in a row.

Once you understand the eyes like I do you would know that there are only 3 different ways we see shots. it's very simple to say the least.

They shoot like a telescope with one eye, about 5% of the players or they are right eye dominant or left eye dominant and it's very easy to help them find their perfect spot to envision the shot correctly.

We could talk all day and someone could say my dad can beat up your dad all day long and I could say they can't, This can go on forever.

Maybe your right though.

It might be my imagination that this works so good for me. And the 30 or so players that I have worked with so far that it has worked for also.

I don't teach something if it doesn't work. I make sure first. And when it does I can't show it to players fast enough. Especially my pool shooting buddies.

There seems to be a mixture of right eyed, left eyed, opposite eyed as far as problems getting the cue in the center of the ball.

The ones that I taught which eye was dominant and showed them how to get to the most dominant position were still getting it done at center after a week.

Unless the dominant eye is not in the most dominant position it is almost impossible for many players to hit center ball. They think they are but are not. The same is true for players lined up on the right of center. They have trouble with the left English.

The main trouble is when you're down on a shot you are actually going cross eyed to look at the cue ball. Unless the dominant eye is in the most dominant position the brain is really getting a distorted picture.

This is the real deal.

The biggest problem though is when you line up and are to the left of the center your never really getting over far enough when you try to put right English on the ball. Your still seeing a little too much to the left.

I'm setting up a pool table at my house and will be doing some videos. Hopefully I can do a utube video on this that will really explain how huge this problem is for a player.

This effects about 90% of all players.

I for one, sincerely look forward to the Youtube video you referenced above, soon is you upload it. Should clarify beyond AZ postings your recent breakthrough that led to so many commendable and unexpected local tournament wins for you against estimable competition (The proverbial "picture worth a thousand words" principle.)

Arnaldo
 
To put it in perspective the tournaments he wins have one or two master players in them sometimes and these people work full time. By comparison we have a tour called mpa where in he plays only master and aa players and has never won in the four years its been available. When you have no job for years and spend everyday training for pool you make things a little easier. Folks i also have a great real estate investment opportunity in arizona if your in the market and will be giving google and youtube keyword clinics.
Serious offers only. Price subject to change.

Not even close in comparison.

First, Geno has been at this since before CJ came onto the forums. And he was offering FREE phone lessons all the way back then. No obligation.

Yes, there was a time when Geno was posting nearly as prolifically as CJ did, but when asked to tone it down, he did so. Without HUGE sig banners and phot'os that clog up so much screen space.

Geno has always been polite and humble when interacting with folks here. CJ, well...I truly believe that CJ wasn't meaning to come off as he did (or maybe it was his intention, he is well-versed in marketing) but I think he was caught up in having fun with all the banter that happens so frequently here. CJ had (has) a lot to offer to folks, and he has helped me with advice over the years here, as well as sending me one of his DVDs. So I try and take care with how I describe him and his actions here. I do appreciate it. Still, he did get overwhelming at times. Again, I don't believe in a mean-spirited manner much of the time (tho he certainly did get into it with some who would do the same).

Geno isn't in that territory. One thread at a time, every now and again.

Hopefully I'll have the time and wherewithal to set up that phone lesson with Geno that I've wanted to do for some time now. I see no harm in what he presents on the forum, in the last few years.
 
Like Gene, I'm 62 years old & have been playing since I was 13.

I had a small eye accident about 20 years ago which resulted in an astigmatism in my then 'dominant' shooting eye.

My game went down a notch & I basically quit competing because it rather hurt to not be able to play as well as I did before the eye issue.

Since then when I played, I rather often made the comment that I was as much playing by memory, as the balls are just that blurry fuzz & I really can't any edges.

I'm amazed at how well I was able to play given my eye issue.

Then sort of all of a sudden, it got a bit worse because misses starting popping up that just should not have been. I made a few post about it & Gene saw them.

He contacted me & offered to help me out. I took him up on his offer & we did his phone lesson.

I won't go into details. I'll leave that to Gene.

But Gene proved to me beyond any doubt that I had become, if I was not always, a cross dominant player & that I was seeing a cocked line as straight & not a straight line as straight. Our minds & bodies are amazing entities & can do some rather amazing things & over come some rather significant 'roadblocks'. but why have 'roadblocks' to overcome if they can so easily be removed.

Gene, then instructed me on how to 'do it correctly' &...

I SINCERELY THANK HIM AGAIN!

So... everyone can listen to someone like Beiber...

or... one with actual experience on the topic.

I would suggest that EVERYONE get it touch with Gene in some way...
phone, DVDs, new upcoming downloads, in person or whatever...

if only to confirm that you don't have an issue.

That alone would be worth any price IF you would know the OTHER side of the coin which IS having an issue...

& the worse part is that YOU don't know if you have one or not until you do what it takes to find out.

As some may know, I can be & am rather critical of things that I do not feel are truthful.

What Gene is talking about & what he does & teaches is TRUTHFUL.

So... it's up to each individual. Make your own determination.

But please, please... do not be influenced by the 'playful games' of a relatively younger & relatively inexperienced individual.

At the very least find out if you are seeing a straight line as straight or if you are seeing a crooked, cocked, line as straight.

Personally I think doing that with Gene is the best way because if there is an issue, the solution is readily at hand.

Best Wishes to ALL.

PS THANKS AGAIN, GENE!

The phone call is for sales of the $200 PA joke. He's a salesman, and the call is called a hot lead, and it is up to the salesman to close the deal on the phone. Johnnyt
 
Gene never asked me for a cent, nothing, nada & He never tried to sell me anything.

In fact, he told me that he was going to try to do the download version so that more people could have access.

There's nothing wrong with an individual to be compensated for their wares or products & the same goes for information.

We do not live a in communist society...yet, where all belongs to the commune.

Best Wishes to All.
