Perfect Aim....Free Phone lessons..........
- Thread starter genomachino
- Start date
Hey Geno, thanks for the phone lesson on Monday. I originally hesitated to call you, even after all the great reviews, because I thought it was going to be some complicated system and I would have to change my stroke, my stance, unlearn everything I know etc.
Not at all the case. It's a super easy way to line your eyes up so you're absolutely in line for the shot. Maybe you're doing it already but I know I wasn't and I always found myself having to make a bunch of last minute corrections after I was down on the shot. No more. I take one quick peek at the cb once I'm in position and smooth stroking and pull the trigger.
Thanks so much for your time Geno and I will check out your website. If you come through the Chicago area after the first of the year let me know.

Instant lesson with instant results.......
Hi there Dana,
It took a few times to hook up but we finally did.
You brought up something that is said alot about Perfect Aim.
It's so simple. easy to use with anyones game.
Sometimes simple is the best way especially when it is the way it is.
I just teach players how to use their own eyes to see all the shots correctly.
Thanks again Dana..........

Hey Gene,
I would like to start by thanking you for the free phone lesson you gave me back in early October. I wanted to wait before I left any feedback to make sure I fully understood it and it became second nature. I will admit that I initially struggled with it due to only having time to practice right before league each night like I mentioned due to my work schedule. That being said, these last 4 weeks I have been shooting phenomenally better. I would also like to thank you for the tip you gave me to stand a little more upright when shooting since all of my pool is played on the smaller bar tables. That tip combined with Perfect Aim has allowed me to see the Perfect Line a lot better. My toughest shot that I struggled with in the past was the side pocket. I would attempt very difficult cut shots into the corner pockets or try a bank shot before I would attempt trying for the side pocket. Now I seldom miss a makeable shot into the side pocket and actually look for those shots early in my matches. I've noticed that if I can make a couple of tough cut shots into the side pocket early it lets my opponent know that all pockets are open to me and it puts a little bit of extra pressure on them. Every week I'm getting more comfortable and more confident.
Again, thank you.

P.S. I'm still plan on ordering your DVD but it looks like I'm going to have to wait til after Christmas.

Thanks again Gene for your time. I am working on making Perfect Aim part of my process. First thing I would like to say is I think perfect aim could be part of anyone's process you could use this for ghost ball, fractional, overlap or CTE basically anything from my short intro it is primarily a way to trigger yourself to ensure the dominant eye is primary and also focusing on your eye and locating them properly to help see the shot.
An item I am noticing as I am working through this system is this I shoot left handed and my right eye is dominant. I am catching my self wanting to rotate my head to put my right eye in the lead this would be similar to the look of Gary Spaeth and I do not think this is what I add to add to my system, I am having to make sure that my head is straight and my nose is leading rather than my dominant eye. Do others working on perfect aim notice this rotating head effect? What I want to do is move/shift my head to the left which will put my right eye in line. I want my eyes to work naturally and not be a conscious thing in my process and I am not there yet at all. I played over the weekend in tourney and did not shoot that well, I was very accurate at times and quite off at others so I am a work in process but I will make this part of my system and have expectations.
Looking to hear from others who are working on perfect aim.
Also interested in how other players put perfect aim into their pre-shot and shooting routines.

Now that you mention it I do lead with my dominant eye and have turned my head slightly... I am cross dominant like you and cannot see how I could get down properly on the shot without setting this slight head turn up at address and maintaining it going down... For me it seems to be more physiological.... I try and keep the dominant position and my opposite hip on the dominant line so that when I drop down I do not get lots of sway and lateral movement....
When I try to lead with the nose and keep my head square to the shot I cannot get down without lots of body movement and ending up with a head position that has me looking dead to the side with the cue wanting to try and tuck into the body......
I would likely call Geno again and have him show you the doorframe trick and then use it to find the best way to get down from an aiming to shooting position as smoothly and accurately as possible.... If that leads to a slight head turn I don't think there is anything wrong as you have Gene's other references that will keep you dominant and seeing the shot perfectly.......
You hit the nail on the head.............
Hi there and thanks for the reply,
Every player on the planet needs to know this. How do they know if they know it until they see it?
If your not seeing just an ocassional shot right every once in a while you need to learn this.
Just think if this might just happen on the hill game of a tounament match. If you don't know how to correct your vision on the shot you'll probably miss it especially if you jump or twist because it just didn't look right.
I say they usually dog the eyes. Not the shot. But the result is the same.
We all need to see the shots as good as humanly possible and now you know the method that has forever eluded pool players up until Perfect Aim.
Good Luck and hopefully I can make a stop in Chicago .
Thanks again Geno...........715-563-8712 Still doin free lessons. Keep the calls coming.

After almost 2 years of trying to get back in stroke, I finally called Geno and glad I did. (my way wasnt working)
Due to the lessons I have changed my stance to more of a snooker stance somewhere between 45 deg and 90 deg with my left leg. I'm right handed and right eye dominant. What I do is to first line my chin up with the shot, then get into my stance keeping the chin in line and my vision centered (the upper body will have to twist into the line of aim to keep the chin in line with the shot). My dominant eye tells my grip hand ( a point on the grip hand "V" or whatever point I choose) and bridge where they need to be to execute the shot. I look at the cue ball one time to make sure I'm applying the spin I need. (if needed) then focus on the OB taking short warm up strokes (about 4" +/-) at the OB not the QB. When I pull the trigger I'm shooting at the OB as though the cue ball is not there. It just happens to be in the way.
I have a table at home, so I practice the basics everyday. When I go out into the field I do not focus on the basics they should be automatic. The only time I start thinking about the basics is if I start shooting badly. I call it going through my check list.
Buddy Hall gives some good advise when he says "trust your arm" you got to let go.

Hi Geno,
I am a little late, but it is better than never. First, I want to thank you for your accessibility to the pool world. This is such a wonderful thing you are doing for people. Pool absolutely needs people like you.
I have not called you yet, but I am certainly going to. There are a few shots that always give me trouble, and if I could get that corrected, it would take my game to a much higher level. I am a right handed shooter, but I am not sure which eye is dominant. I think it is my right eye, but I am not certain. I do not even know how to tell which eye is dominant. I am going to try to find that information as soon as I am done writing this.
I hope to be able to call you next week, if that is ok with you. I know this is a busy time for everyone, so if you would rather wait til after the holidays, that is great with me too. And if you ever make your way to northwest PA, I would love to meet up with you. I am planning on making my first pilgrimage to SBE this year, so maybe I will get a chance to see you there.
Again, thank you for all that you do for the game and the players. And I am very happy that your recovery is coming along well and that you are playing again. I hope it continues. Take care.

It's nice when you can trust the eyes also...........
Hi there John and thanks for the input.
There's alot of reasons that Buddy Hall and alot of the other great players get r done the way they do. Very good advice there about looking past the cue ball.
As you know now you have to have the eyes in the correct position or the brain can't direct the arm to shoot accurately.
Many players can kind of get the eyes in the correct position from hours and hours of playing but it sure is nice to just know where they need to be.
Makes it alot easier.
Thanks again John.

This will do it for you for sure,,,,,,,,
Hi there Braden,
This is the solution to all player everywhere. We all have those few shots that just never seem to look right. In fact some of them we look at before we aim and think OH BOY because we know it's going to be tough.
Aiming creates so many optical illusions with the round balls and straight lines that it makes it hard to keep the dominant eye in the dominant position. It's these optical illusions that make us switch unknowingly to making the other eye dominant just a little bit. That little bit is huge when your trying to see a shot correctly.
We are all self taught to a certain extent in this pool world. Once a player understands this it's off to the races. You can take it and run with it.
If it was easy to figure out everyone would know it by now. But all we need is a little push in the right direction and you can fit it into your game rather nicely.
Just give me a call sometime. If I'm busy I'll call as soon as I'm free.
Thanks again Geno.............

Good stuff Chris...........
Hi Chris and thanks for your great input.
Sometimes I leave out the doorway thing in the phone lesson but I realise now that I shouldn't. It makes it clearer to the player what is happening to the eye alignment on the way down if they don't do what they are supposed to.
The most important thing that I have learned from teaching Perfect Aim is the player needs to see it with their own eyes. Seeing is believing. It takes care of all the whys.
That will be a part that I will not leave out from now on.
Thanks again Chris.

Yes that was me but it was mostly Beau.
Hi there and yes it was but it was mostly Beau doing what Beau does running out. I played 2 safes that first game. The second one I kind of jacked up and the cue ball climbed up on the object ball a little killing the momentum. After that it was all Beau.
This is one of the most prestigeous tournaments each year in Minnesota. It's filled up 2 months ahead of time.
Race to 7 9 ball sat and race to 5 8 ball on sunday.
In this tourny I put Beau in the losers bracket in a hill hill set.
I made it to the hot seat. The first set we played went hill hill with Beau winning it. And as you see in the second set it was all Beau. He caught fire and I couldn't put it out.
The next year was different though. I did beat Beau in the final match in another hard fought battle. Hill hill match.
Beau is a great player and is now living in California. We'll miss him this year. He's a great guy and such a tough competitor.
This great tourny is coming up again Jan 7 & 8 2012 at the KC club in Farfault, Mn. This tourny is always a whos who of pool for the three or four state tourny.
Great food great people running it Seco Varoni and Richard Aerndt.
there's another great pool tourny at Occonomowoc, Wi this same weekend but I need to go to this fantastic tourny there in Farbault. It's just a great tradition that's hard to pass up.
Anyone that's ever been there would understand.
Have a great day geno........

I hope I can make it to the Derby......
Thanks again Dana,
it was fun helping you improve your aim. You caught on to what I showed you real quick. Keep at it and I will see how your doing if i get to derby.
I'm doing a remake of the video and don't know where I'll be with it at this time. I need to make it a priority.
Thanks again geno..............

Just wanted to thank Gene for taking the time to speak to me tonight. The first thing I noticed when speaking to Gene was how friendly he is and the passion he has for pool and teaching.
I am a decent player who has never thought much about vision, dominant eyes or the likes. I have always analyzed my game and tried to break down and fix flaws. The one issue that has always boggled me was my difficulty with cutting the ball to the right. I have always been confident and confortable with cuts to the left, but anytime a cut to the right came up, I felt lost, like I was misaligned, and my cue would never go straight.
For whatever reason, I got to thinking about dominant eyes yesterday. I tested myself, finding out that I was left eye dominant. (right handed). So I started seaching the forum and I kept getting hits on Gene and Perfect Aim.
I called Gene tonight and he was more than happy to work with me. Within 15minutes he had explained my exact issue and showed me how to fix it. I was totally amazed that these bits of info could really fix years of struggling. I have been practicing these right cuts for a few hours and its already getting more comfortable. I know that with practice, this will become second nature and really improve my game.
I cant thank you enough Gene.

I'm learning myself all the time........
Hi there and thanks for the great input here,
I have had the benefit of doing so many eye lessons in such a short period of time that I can see that we are all the same. We fit into 5 catagories with the eyes.
1 left eyed right handed
2 right eyed right handed
3 left eye left handed
4 or shooting with only one absolute eye like a telescope.
5 right eyed right handed
Once I find out which eye is dominant for pool shooting.We all fit into one of these catagories. I could hand the same script to all players in that catagory and it would work well the same for all of them.
There is no reason why all players shouldn't be able to aim as well as everyone else. There is alot more to this game than aiming but if you can't envision the shot correctly nothing else works very good consistently.
Isn't it amazing that over and over Perfect Aim is almost like miraculously curing the problems that so many players have tried to fix but with limited success.
I'm not really all that smart. I just got lucky to figure out some of this and learned the rest of it as I was trying to teach players to aim better. Practice makes Perfect and I have had lots of practice teaching. I can thank all the players that I have worked with for helping me get to where Perfect Aim is today.
Keep me updated with your success. I love to hear how much better those balls are flying in the hole.
Thanks again geno.
