Lining up center cue ball and dominant eye

[genomachino]

Head tilted naturally helps create this misalignment on the cue ball.

Yes, thanks for this post.

Another tip--get students to think "align with and look at the cue ball" on the initial moves to stance from the erect position. Way too many players try to align with the cue stick, which is in peripheral vision, rather than the cue ball, which is out in front of their vision (mostly).

For a right handed player. When the head is tilted to the right the bottom of the cue ball is a little to the left. In order to understand this better imagine we tilt the table to make the head straight. Now that same player would be in the middle of the bottom or at least allot closer.

This all has to do with the dominant eye. Once a person learns how to really get to the most dominant position it is easier to get to the middle of the cue ball. it also helps if they can get the head straight instead of tilted. If the head stays tilted the bottom will always be to the left.

For left handers it is just the opposite.

The things that I have noticed cause pool players trouble, including myself, I have worked on ways to correct and with pretty good success.

trouble is I don't think many players are ready for these things.

All these little things when added together make one big thing.

Correcting these little things eventually add up and become huge.

If these things are not corrected they really get in the way of any player improving.

This misalignment on the cue ball is just one thing that the dominant eye can help correct easily.

I would really like to make a free video showing players how to fix this but it would do no good unless they learn how to get the dominant eye in the most dominant position (Perfect Aim) first.

Kind of like trying to walk up a down escalator. One thing is fighting the other.

Learn how to use the up escalator first to go up and then things start to make more sense.

This is not a theory but pure fact. I've worked with over 50 players on this and the results were all the same.

This is the real deal. If you want to play better pool.........

Dominant eye is not just dominant eye my friend......

Yes, but I'm confused what Gino is selling .
Look at the thread title.
I think he's flipflopping all over .
The center of the cue ball is the physical center .
Dominant eye is dominant eye.

This is the part that nobody and I mean nobody ever figured out.

How to get and keep the dominant eye in the most dominant position.

All these other things that I talk about are really difficult to correct unless a player has that dominant eye in that Perfect position.

That is why it is called perfect Aim.

It's a real shame that this is caught up with all the other pool stuff because this is so important and would help every single player out there no matter what skill level they are at tremendously. .

When I was traveling around the country teaching and playing I did about 2,000 plus full lessons with Perfect Aim.

I had to do about 10,000 mini lessons because there is no way that any player can even imagine how much this will help their game. I had to almost completely show them how it worked so they could see the value. Then and only then would some agree to the full lesson. With pretty much every one a home run.

I've tried to help players everywhere but very few players have learned on their own that the eyes are the problem. The rest don't have a clue.

I saw a shirt on facebook a couple of days ago that was pretty spot on:

When you see a player talking to themselves between shots they are just giving themselves expert advice.

The better the player the more they think that this couldn't help them and their thinking is so wrong. But I understand. I used to be the same way.

Now I look and study only to find out that there is allot of junk out there. So this stops allot of players also. They have already wasted money on worthless info.

I can and do play at a pretty high level. I couldn't even be close to this level especially at 63 years old unless I understood this.

I really get tired of hearing that I'm selling something or getting rich.

This is kind of a gift to all players that take advantage.

The video plus the phone lesson that goes with it is stealing for the price.

Perfect Aim is by far the most valuable information that any pool player can learn in their lifetime.

A pool player needs to be smart enough to know that they don't know it all even though it is easy to think this way.

And they actually do know it all. They know everything that they know already on that hard drive they call a brain and after that it gets pretty slow learning from monkey see, monkey do.

Anyway, there's no flip flop at all. These other things that I talk about many players know there is a problem but don't know how to fix it.

Without the dominant eye in the most dominant position it's almost impossible to fix these things.

Unless you play pool 10 hours a day, seven days a week, no job, no bank account, no car, no wife, no kids, no house. I think you get the point.

Once the most correct picture is getting to the brain a player can start to see with their own eyes what is going on.

After that the other parts of the game start falling into place.

Joey, I'm with you. I once took a short phone lesson from him and had good results with the info he gave. However, it seems that what he once taught is no longer viable. No problem as things evolve.

I need to get by to finalize the wrap on the BRW and I'll bring the DVD, it's his 1st one. If the table is free of gorgeous wood I'll show you what he told me.

It's a long thread with virtually no concrete information.

There is just so much that has been added to my lessons all stemming from the dominant eye. it all centers around that.

Gave 3 mini lessons today. So much trouble that many players have centers around the dominant eye.

Kind of like the joke where the preacher just keeps giving the same sermon over and over until they start practicing what he was preaching.

This thing with the eyes is the real deal. I can't change it. I can just figure it out and show players how to make their game stronger in a quick hurry by understanding and applying it to their game.

I don't doubt that you have valid info and that "you" can figure it out and that is good for those that are in the twin cities. Doesn't do the rest of us much good.

 

[genomachino]

Players can travel.........

I'm almost there on my health. Ready to play again in some big tournament and will be better than ever.

I'm starting to teach allot again and feel like I can do 2 lessons a day. 3 hours each.

Getting a house here in Minnesota and I will be setting my pool table up there. Players will be able to fly in, I can pick them up and they can even stay at the house in the spare room. All the comforts of home.

I'll be doing a 5 day pool boot camp. I've done about 3 of these with pool players and the results were great. And it was too much fun for myself and the student.

Once in the house we will be setting up some cameras and do some downloads of this new info and the old.

Players got to know this stuff if they want to improve at a fast pace that they never thought possible.

I'm excited as hell about this. I'm getting my energy back and playing the best pool of my life at 63.

Not out of the woods yet with the health. Got acid reflux and had it for a long time. Finally got real bad in the chest and throat. Couldn't hardly swallow for the past year or so. I'm having an Endoscopy done April 10th to see how much damage there is down my throat to my stomach.

But for now the meds I'm on are making me feel pretty good.

As soon as I can go I will be setting up clinics at poolhalls around the USA. Got about a dozen have called and asked when.

This will all start happening in June if all goes well.

If my prognosis is real bad, which could happen, I will make some video downloads and get them on utube or on my Perfect Aim site.

I also have the Recent Perfect Aim video. Anyone that buys it can call for a free phone lesson. It takes about 1hour with the player at the table. I've done 100's with great results. The lesson works really well after the player has watched the video once or twice. This phone call makes sure they understand how Perfect Aim works totally. I get about 5 calls a week andlove it from all over the country and some from other countrys.

Once I get this boot camp set up at the house we will show some parts of the lessons live on the internet so the players can see the students real reactions to what they are learning. This is going to be great.

Very excited. I have a list of 5 players right now that are ready for the boot camp in June so that is full. Can only do 1 player each week. Get anymore we will start filling up July.

Like I said, I'm excited about the whole thing. And excited about how well these players will get playing better so fast.

What part of the country are you at GaryB?

 

[Bank it]

Glad to hear your health is improving for you enough to get back to what you love, good luck.

 

[Tony_in_MD]

Good to hear your health is improving. Good luck to you with your boot camps.

Geno, I'm in So. Calif.

I don't think that I have the 2nd DVD, I'll have to check. The 1st one for sure. I might have the 2nd as well but we moved and I can't believe how many things I can't find.

I have access to a table at the time that is usually good for you as our afternoon games at the Clubhouse are over about 4.

I had a short phone lesson with you about 3 years ago and saw the benefits. Obviously the eyes are critical and we all know when we are seeing the balls correctly--and when we are not positive.

That's right Gary.........

When you don't play for awhile it takes a long time to get back to the speed you were at. Most of this is getting the dominant eye in the
most dominant position. When you were playing allot the dominant eye would get there naturally from thousands of repetitions.

Our eyes and brain do a pretty good job of this with some players but others it doesn't come easy.

Perfect Aim gets your eyes right and in no time at all you up to your top speed and soon exceed your top speed.

That's why these young guys all over are beating many of the top players around the country. They know a little secret. Perfect Aim.

Been just healing up physically and mentally....

Time to get back in the swing of things and start helping the pool players that want to play better.

I'm finally playing better than ever. I actually had 4 surgeries in the last 3 years.

Tumor removed from my thyroid the size of a tennis ball.

Left knee surgery only to have them tell me that I will need it replaced soon.

They did a total knee replacement on the right knee. Got trouble with that.

The accident that I had in Peoria, Ill finally took it's toll. Rear ended by some drunk driver and then they took off. I had c5 c6 and c7 fused in my neck Nov. 2nd 2016.

I'm starting on some new videos but no guarantees when it will be done. I've let everyone have their say about what they think Perfect aim is but unless they've had a personal lesson they don't have a clue.

It's a shame that without me making some noise that something that every pool player on the planet needs to know just gets lost in all the other garbage.

I'm not saying that it's all garbage, just most of it.

Because when your capable of playing at a higher level and you see something that is just off the wall you just sit back and say you got to be kidding.

Perfect Aim is the real deal and always had. The only thing I regret is not having the marketing expertise.

Looking forward, like I said, to helping players everywhere again that want to improve their games.

Glad I found this thread. Okay so eye dominance test " Make a OK symbol with your hand then find a object in the room, now close the right eye? Is it still inside the circle? Yes? Then you are not right eye dominant. Now try with the left eye. Is it still inside the circle? Yes? Then you are not really dominant on either eye. However if the object "jumps" when you close and look through just one eye then that eye is the dominant one".


Now I was doing drills today and noticed that I am in fact left eye dominant. I also noticed that when shooting at the far diamond on a 9 foot table. I reliably see to hit the ball with right side english ( the ball comes off the rail to the right).

So how do I correct this since I am obviously left eye dominant? ( Oh I am right handed by the way).

 

[BC21]

How's this.....with my right-hand index finger or an OK circle held out in front of me, and my eyes focused on an object across the room, I see two fingers or two OK circles, one on each side of the object and each partially translucent. If I focus on my finger tip I see two of the objects, one on each side of my finger. When focusing on the center of the OK circle the object on the other side of the room is hidden from view (my thumb and index finger block the right eye view while the rest of my hand blocks the left eye view). Does this indicate I have no dominant eye, or does it simply mean I have excellent focusing skills?

This is the method I used

http://www.diyphotography.net/a-neat-trick-to-determine-your-dominant-eye/


I just know the circle thing from like a long time ago reading on it. Also, I get different results with this method so I use the small circle I make with my thumb and finger. The object always jumps when I look through my left eye and close my right. This makes sense to me because I use to shoot and I would always aim left eye.

I actually have an appointment with a eye doctor to get a new prescription so I am going to ask him to confirm testing for me.

Just did this triangle method. I'm an oddball with no dominant eye. Weird.

If you have your dominant eye in the line of the shot, that does not mean that you will then have a straight stroke. It took me years of tinkering but I have it pretty much right now. I am left eye dominant (and about as left eye dominant as anybody I'd bet) yet I now shoot with the inside corner of my right eye over the cue.

IMO the importance of dominant eye position is overrated. Like anything, of course, some things work for some people more than others. It is not easy to figure out and one size definitely does not fit all.

That's just it I usually use a forward facing no tilt view of the cue . I am gonna go and practice some more in the morning time and give it another go.

I know that I definitely have some issues with hitting center and I think I just really need to work out how I am hitting and practice on hitting center. I am using a ball that does have a dot on it at the pool hall so I've just been setting that up and hitting it. I'd say out of 20 shots I do maybe 6 tip to tip meaning I can get the ball to hit the diamond and come back and hit my tip.
