Gene, would you have anything to add to Dead Crab's comments?
As is true of a number of players, I shoot with only one eye (though not by choice).

I have to reply to this, because this is what the system is all about. This is what I see when I get it right.
If you don't see the rail you are doing it wrong! The rail is the key. It lets you aim right and stroke with confidence. When you see the rail for the first time you might think you are playing pool for the first time. It is astounding how you were able to pot balls without seeing the rail. Quite an achievement when you think about it.
:speechless:
Hey Gene, you PM box is full. Shoot me your email, looking to get a hold of you. Thank you.
Yes. We had the same experience. It truly felt like I was playing for the first time.
Update (3rd pool playing experience)
Last night I played about 3 hours of a gambling session. This was the first time I used the material in a game situation. I had some difficulty missing some shots, going by the new system. But I also made some amazing shots that I could not regularly make before. So it was back and forth, between feeling not so good, and feeling great. One new thing I noticed was my break was way better. I was squatting the rock much better cause I was hitting the one full, just like the video shows to shoot a straight in shot.
Update (4th pool playing experience)
Tonight I played all night. I played 1 set of 9 ball. I missed 2 balls in a race to 5. I played really well.
Then I played one pocket for about 8 games with a pro level player (I got TONS of weight). I played really well. I made shots jam up, especially a few super thin cuts. The banking, as others have commented, was also MUCH improved. I hit so many banks length of the table pocket speed and pure. Even slow rolling them.
Then I played a set of 9 ball with another guy. Race to 9. I had many super shots. I did dog a few balls, but as a whole I played much better than my game from a week ago.
So all night tonight, my game was dead on. I really felt good. It will only get better now. I was easily a ball better than where I was last week. I don't think I had one shot where I was uncomfortable in my sighting of the ball in 7 hrs of play.

Just made room. Go ahead. Had a ton of messages. I played a tournament today. Just got back. Sorry Geno...........
Hi Brian,
I've been in Des Moines,Iowa and I almost can't believe the reception. A couple of guys had bought the video and could not believe how much it helped their game. I'm booked up with lessons just about eveyday I'm going to be here. The rest are just going to have to buy videos.
If you saw the video and what it would do for your game you would understand. Until then I don't know. I don't know what to tell you except good luck. Have a great day............. Geno...................
I got Geno's DVD about two weeks ago but have waited to post until I had worked on his recommendations for a while and was sure about my assessment and recommendations.
Some background..... I'm 66 years old. I played as a teen but stopped at 16 when I got a car and found girls. At 55 I got a table and started to learn how to play.
I knew from my golf experiences that correct fundamentals are vital so I took some lessons from 3 different pros and got some excellent coaching from a talented amature, but nobody talked about head position/eye position.
For several years I struggled trying one angle and then another. I'm left handed and right eye dominant. I experimented with every possible head position.. twist and tilt, chin over the cue, right eye over the cue, left eye over the cue, high/low.... everything I could think of to find a position that would work for all shots.
A couple years ago I noticed that Neils, Earl, Allison and some others played with the cue to the right of their chin and the chin below the cue. It tried it and it worked better for me than any other head position.... on some shots! On other shots it wasn't so great. The experimenting continued and there were some shots where I had no confidence and knew I wasn't "seeing" the shot correctly... wasn't finding the correct line or angle. I was guessing.
Now that I've studied Geno's DVD "Perfect Aim" I've discovered what I have been searching for since 1999. I finally have a method of seeing the correct line for all shots.... ALL SHOTS.
Since viewing this DVD and working on his recommendations I've been able to find a much more accurate ghost ball placement on every shot and am now able to easily find the correct line to the pocket on shots that had been very low percentage for me. I just "see" the line now! It's there where I had not been able to find it before! That's a very cool thing to have happen to you... to be able to easily "see" shots that you just could NOT find before. I'm really excited about the improvement I've found and especially about the obvious potential for significant improvement after more practice.
It's very simple, easy to learn and easy to put into practice. I definitely recommend the DVD and although I've not met Geno it's clear from his presence on the DVD that he's just an easy guy to get to know and to work with so lessons should be fun as well as profitable. In my opinion the DVD is worth the money.. easily. I'd put this stuff right up there with the things I learned from Little Joes DVD's, and that's saying something!

WOW!
JimS is a regular poster here and doesn't bite his tongue.
I'm glad to see your post and am always interested in the experience of the player who makes the report. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience.
Would you make a similar up to date report in about 4 weeks, if not on the forum, in PM to me?
Thanks,
JoeyA
I won't guarantee I'll remember to do it. I'm willing if I get a reminder.
Us geezers need our reminders... like pill bottles for each day :groucho:
Gene's DVD provides some simple information that maybe some expert or heavily experienced players might take for granted but I've never heard or seen it explained.
Some other stuff I already knew and use all the time but the things that were new to me have the potential of makeing big changes to my game.
NO......:smile:
Here are my impressions of the DVD:
I bought it being a skeptic but hey I'm willing to try anything that will make my game better. After reviewing the DVD a few times and putting it to practice I truly believe it has helped my game and given me a "hope" to get better. I'm noticing that when I feel really comfortable with getting my eyes in the right position, I fall in the zone and start running out from everywhere. I still have my lazy habits but am working on getting rid of them. I was actually practicing with my buddy the other day and tortured him for about 2 hours without really missing any balls. But I felt comfortable and getting my eyes in the right position was effortless. I am noticing that when I am missing balls that I'm not in the right position, and that I'm not as commited to making the shot. Or if I just don't care about the game I easily lose focus I go back to my old self. So I have learned a few things about myself and why I miss balls I know I shouldn't.

Hi there Mr Choa. I just got back to the room. I gave 3 lessons today. It sound like everyone has the same results. Now you know that the zone is basically getting the eyes in the right position. For years I would play for hours to get ready for a tournament or money match. If you play enough your eyes would naturally get to this spot I call Perfect Aim or close to it.
We would call it getting in stroke.
They should really rename these two things , the zone and getting in stroke to something like getting the eyes in line. Because when the eyes are in line you will shoot fine. Ain't that somethin.........
Thanks and have a great pool day. Geno.................
Hi there to both of you,
I wish you both the best of luck and hope to see you both in the final of a big tournament some day.
Thanks geno................
