Is there any literature on this subject that an instructor would share with us?

We see differently when cutting to the right or left.
 
There is help,,,,,,,,,,,,Genomachino (here on AZB) is quite knowledgeable about this, and has methods to deal with it as well.
 
FWIW, I don't see left and right cuts the same. Over time, it's become natural but it was a problem until I figured it out. No matter which way the cut, my misses were always to the right. I'm left handed and left eye dominant if that matters.
 
Everyone is the same............

Hi there Mitch,

This is what I fix with Perfect Aim. Everyone that is left eye dominant has trouble cutting to the right. it is a human glitch that we all have.

If you were right eye dominant it would be to the left that you have trouble.

I can also tell you that when you cut to the right that you miss hitting the object ball too thick.

If you have it figured out great.

When someone learns Perfect Aim there is no problem either way. Not only does it tell you why you missed before but how to correct the problem forever.

Geno, thanks for your reply. The thing is, I don't have trouble with right cuts. My misses though, are usually to the right whether it's straight in, left or right cut. It's like the entire table is twisted about 1/4" to the left. :confused:
 
Lay your cue on the table so that it's on the long string (middle diamonds of the end rails). Line up over the cue like you're gong to shoot being careful to not move the cue. Slowly move your head left and right until you clearly see the cue pointing directly at the far diamond. This is where your eyes should be in relation to your cue.

Shoot some shots with your eyes in this position, and they should go in. Repeat as necessary to fine tune learn your correct position.
 
"Your vision center is the head and eye alignment, relative to the cue, that allows you to see a center-ball, straight-in shot as straight, with the tip appearing to be at the center of the CB. For some people, this might be with the cue under their dominant eye (if they have one). For others, it might be with the cue under their nose, or somewhere else between their eyes." - Dr. Dave Alciatore, if I'm attributing this right.

You may have a preference for cutting left or right, some people do, but if your vision center is where it needs to be, there should be no problem cutting in either direction... yes?

This worked really well. I could "see" much better with my head a litttle to the right and my left eye over the cue. Bingo! :thumbup2:
