Perfect Aim Video and Lesson Phoenix

Gene,

Received and viewed the video. Can't wait to give it the test. I'm confident you're right. It makes perfect sense. Good thing for me, I'm already doing everything except one aspect of your method. No major re-tool thank you very much. For all the rest it's not a major change even if you're not doing any of the 4 or 5 things suggested.

Thanks for the tip.

Perfect hits with Perfect Aim coming my way. I can feel it already.

Hi there,
I think you will be peasantly surprised at what you see. CTE kind of accidently gets your eyes lined up right sometimes. This is why it seems to work sometimes. If a person gets really good at it ,it will seem to work most of the time with alot of work. Perfect Aim will show you how to get there all the time. It is simple,easy to use and it works for everyone. I'm sure you have went to the web site all ready www.perfectaimbilliards.com already. I'm in Denver doing personal lessons everyday now and watching all the smiles in person once the players see PERFECT AIM. The excitement and enthusiasm is unbelievable when the players I'm teaching see how it works for the first time. I really want your testimony once you see PERFECT AIM. Please let us know if what I say isn't exactly true.
Still fired up and on the road giving personal lessons and speading the PERFECT AIM message to everyone. Thanks Geno..............
 
Not bad, not bad

That was a pretty good reply, So do i get to trade up.....

Its easy to figure out wich is your domenit eye, I would like to know where the proof is that it changes for a billiard shot.

a while back I was doing the "L" drill and goofed around with moving my head, it scemedto me that shots sure looked dif. I could see the ball better but I just went bck to what has always been perfect 40% of the time. LOL

I cant beleave after all this time of thinking he was so great, and to beat Efren alls I needed was to see this dvd.:p Now alls I need is the 1,3,5,7,and9,the break and 7 on the wire in a race to 9 and I might just get there... But that Jack Madden hes now getting the 5 out...Yea i know in 2 weeks...:D(inside joke)

There is some interesting things on the dvd I would say and as we all know pool is about knowledge (that ferrul reflection thing was prety slick). Do I think Im going to rocket to stardom no, but I dont think I waisted my cash. Can I interest you in some bert kinester dvds :eek::eek::rolleyes::p (damn I crack myself up). take it easy maybe someday youll be in washington then you can turn me into a superstar but for know Ill have too keep getting by on my looks....

Hi there, CTE is a system with various movements you make that accidently get your eyes in the right spot sometimes. I studied it the best I could and I'm a pretty knowledgable pool player. I can actually play. PERFECT AIM gets you to the right eye position by actually showing you how to find it. This is something that happens naturally to a certain extent. That is why some players play real good and some not so good. It directly coincides with how well you position the eyes naturally. That's why PERFECT AIM is on fire right now. The top selling video on the market. You will learn how to position the eyes correctly. And the amazing thing about that is the only advertising we have done so far is on AZ. Incredible. And word of mouth. Go to www.perfectaimbilliards.com and look at all the glowing testimonials or you can see alot of them on AZ here. This actually works for everyone. Have a great pool day. Geno.

Hi there, It's kind of wierd and I don't know why this is. About one out of 20 people will pass every test that says they are right eye dominent but when they get down to shoot a straight in shot you can look and the cue is more under the left eye. These people are probably actually left eye dominent but just flunk every test for some reason. With PERFECT AIM these people need to know that they are that way. Chances are that you are the way you think but have someone look when you get down. If so it will change the way you move your head. Thanks Geno. Have fun wiith PERFECT AIM>

Hi Elliot,

In my particular case it’s the right eye. IMHO Perfect aim isn’t a cure for lazy eye problems but it’s a nice piece of the puzzle when you combine it with "quiet eye" techniques.

eye dominance

I see several posts concerning eye dominance including one by Gene where he comments about 1 in 20 people testing one eye dominant when they are actually the other eye dominant.

I think what he is seeing here is an issue I have myself. I am right handed, right eye dominant. At first glance that is great. The trouble is that my right eye is only very slightly dominant and I easily alternate eye dominance. This can be disastrous or possibly an advantage as long as it is recognized. It was disastrous shooting pistols to flip-flop eye dominance and I did eye exercises to strengthen my dominant eye. Shooting rifles I worked very hard to strengthen my non dominant eye as I needed the information from it at least as much as that from my dominant eye.

In pool swapping eye dominance can be useful as long as you do it consciously. Some people do this easily, some can't without putting real effort into learning to do so. The other side of the coin is that if you swap eye dominance without realizing it you will shoot a "well aimed" shot into the rail inches away from the pocket sometimes.

You never just closed one eye?

Gene,

I also enjoyed meeting you, and getting to see your stuff. I'm certainly thinking a lot more about my eyes and head position now. I think most people could benefit from having you analyze and tweak their head position on different types of shots. I never realized before how differently the eyes can work on a shot to the right vs. a shot to the left.

Thanks again, and continued good luck with your business.

I hope Dave G. had nightmares about 6-balls last night. He needs something to mess up his game a little. He's too good.

Regards,
Dave

Shooting fast with a pistol is more like wing shooting with a shotgun than firing a single shot at a single target even though I stop the sights on every target. To acquire multiple targets, often at different distances, in fractions of a second I need both eyes working. Closing one eye for a second in practice can force the other one dominant, I don't have the time in competition.

In researching vision and aiming, I've heard a number of firearms shooters say the same thing. Tasks such as traps that require depth perception require two eyes, while fixed 2-D targets only require one.

Perhaps this extends to billiards as well. If you need to see the OB as a sphere you need both eyes, but if you perceive the target as a disc, only one.

I shoot with my dominant eye closed, because I can't bend enough to get it over the stick. One image eliminates any possible confusion, but may limit how good I can get at this game, as well.
 
some good players blind in one eye

There are some good players that are blind in one eye so it is possible to play well with one eye closed. I suspect that you need to walk the table more and pay much closer attention to where you need to hit the cue ball before getting down on the shot.

I don't know about official exercises but I am sure there are some somewhere to exercise your dominant eye. You might try doing the opposite trying to strengthen your weaker eye. All I did was put something on the wall for a reference point and used something a short distance in front of me as the focal point. By closing your master eye, or better yet just putting something in front of it, you line up the two objects with your weak eye. Hopefully you can hold that for at least a moment when you open or expose your dominant eye with a little practice. If so, with more practice you can hold the weaker eye functioning as the master eye for longer and longer periods. The bad news is that it is a forever thing to train, a few months without conditioning the weak eye and things tend to revert back to the way they were to begin with.

Something that shooters do that might work for you is wearing some glasses, even clear safety glasses, and put some translucent scotch tape over your master eye. This trains the weak eye to do the work too, or so I have been told many times. I didn't find the need to do this with the other exercise I did five or ten minutes a day working up to about fifteen minutes. This is many repetitions, you will find forcing eye dominance amazingly tiring at first.

Good luck and feel free to PM me or start another thread although I have pretty much expended my little knowledge here. I don't want to hi-jack Gene's thread, I was just trying to give him something to consider when eye tests seemed to be wrong.

Hu...I think it's also important to note, that 25% of us don't even have a dominant eye. The most important thing, is to place your head over the cue, where you PERCEIVE a straight line...and then to have the executional skills, to deliver your cue into that straight line.

Scott,

I didn't know the number was nearly that high of people without a dominant eye but I do know that we can get our eyes working together. That seems to be what the snooker players and folks with the cue square under their chin do. This intuitively seems to be a better way of doing things simply because we should see shots to the right or the left pretty much the same using this centered approach but I don't know if it holds true in practice.

I'm still searching for a higher stance. Stance definitely interacts with vision and stroke to pocket balls so I am a long ways from where I need to be right now. I still have the same objectives and expectations though! :D

Hi hu,
You are very smart. You understand somrthing that almost nobody in the whole world understands. This is why PERFECT AIM works. For the same reason, nobody and I mean nodody totally understands this. They know bits and pieces but not the whole banana. I am right handed, left eye dominent. I was one of those guys that could follow the deer through the brush and keep both eyes open and shoot the deer on the run. The gun is under my right eye so my dominent left eye is following the deer while the right eye is almost like a ghost image that is close to the target as long as the left eye keeps me there. This wouldn't have worked so good I don't think if I was useing a rifle at a long distance but I always used a shot gun. I didn't have to worry about my dominent eye trying to look at the sight on the gun because it couldn't even see the sight with the left eye. . One day a friend of mine took me to shoot trap. I had never done it in my life. I kept both eyes open just like I did deer hunting. To my friends amazement after getting used to the clay pigeon popping up I did just as good as most of the other guys. I noticed that some of the shooters had one eye closed and some kept both eyes open. In pool when I played on the tour I noticed that most of the players were opposite hand dominent. I mean like 80 to 90 %. Shooting pool is much like shooting a gun except that with a gun everyone puts the gun under one eye or the other. They can be right eye dominent and shoot left handed under the left eye or shoot just as good as the person that is right handed and right eye dominent. Just as with the pro pool players, there might be an advantage shooting trap being opposite hand dominent. About 1 in about 500 , I don't know the exact statistic,of pool players shoot with one eye just like shooting a gun. Earl Strickland is one of those. He could put a patch over the other eye and it wouldn't matter. But the rest of us use both eyes. This is why PERFECT AIM works. Just like with the guns you figured out something that nobody else knows or maybe they do. Maybe in the gun world the things you talked about are common knowledge but I doubt it. Just like with a gun there is only one spot to have the eyes where the pool shot will look perfect.
Some of the aiming things I see with pool instuctors are so rediculous. Can you imagine this with a gun. This is how you aim, you need your feet in the right position. If you miss this is why. You need your arm at this angle. If you don't this is why you miss. Now , I don't want you to look right at the target but to the right and kind of bring the gun over from the right side and then line it up. If that don't work start down low and bring it up. Do you kind of get the picture how rediculous this bunch of crap is. I'm not really trying to pick on anybody because they are trying to do the best that they can do or teach. Most of them are just teaching what they are told. Many can't even play at a higher level. Some of the most rediculous things I ever heard about aiming came from certified teachers. But then again they are only teaching what they were taught by someone else that was taught by someone else that was taught by someone else. Kind of get the picture.
The main reason people miss with a gun is the eye or eyes are not in the right position. With pool it's the same thing. The eyes have to be in the right position. There's no options there. With PERFECT AIM I show you how to get to the right position right away. The people that naturally get the eyes in the right position shoot better than those that don't . That is why there are so many different skill levels in pool. Of course you need to practice but once a person knows how to line up the eyes correctly there are no limitations on how far you can go. Now you can get to be the best you can with your physical ability. Your just not missing because the sight is crooked on the gun. I'll bet if you were out deer hunting and if your food depended on what you shot, if you were missing the deer you would have someone sight in the gun for you because the sights are probably off. The same can be said about pool. Sometimes how you shoot can decide if you eat steak or hotdogs for the week. Even if you don't gamble it's just more fun to make the balls and 90% of pool is aiming. If you can't aim nothing seems to work.
Many people know there is a problem with the aiming. They just don't know how to fix it. I'm closing in on 800 personal lessons. Out of those 800 there is not one unhappy player because when I get done they now know without a shadow of a doubt how to get the eyes in the correct position. Seeing is believeing. You can tell people all you want like :; my dad can beat up your dad:; but if you can show them and they can see it works almost immediately and they can see the shot better , then you have a winner.
Enough said. Call me if you have any questions. 715-563-8712. Thanks for your input. That was great . Geno.............
