Perfect Aim Video and Lesson Phoenix

[genomachino]

banks are easier

Gene, can you bank with it.

Hi There,
The same principles apply when you are banking a ball. You can see clearer how much of the ball you are shooting. Again, even on the bank shots or even playing safes it all depends on how much of the ball you are hitting. Plus , if you hit the object ball the exact amount that you want to you start learning where that cue ball is going also. If you hit the cue ball the same speed, the same amount of the object ball the cue ball will always go to the same exact spot. That's another reason to be able to aim as perfect as possible. I think you already got a video? You should be able to bank better. Make sure your moving your head to the proper position. The same way you would on all the other shots. Give me a call. 715-563 8712. I'll give you a few personal tips on the video. Thanks for asking. Geno.............

 

[genomachino]

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.

Your right. You can shoot with one eye but you sacrifice depth perception. Some players do shoot with one eye but their brains are wired in such a way that , that is the only way they can shoot. With PERFECT AIM it helps to get down lower to see how it works. You can still go back to a higher stance once you understand what the eyes are doing. Perfect Aim with enable you to shoot with both your eyes again because it will show you where the perfect position is on every shot. I thought you ordered a video already. If so give me a call and I will help you to understand everything. You have kind of a unique situation there but I understand why you are doing what you do. Have a great day. Geno 715-563-8712

You have answer a question I was hoping you would about your system.:thumbup:

Dominent eye

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.

Hi Scott,
I just wanted to comment on the dominenet eye. Out of the almost 800 lessons I have given with PERFECT AIM about I'd say 15% are real difficult to figure out what eye is dominent but after 5 or 10 minutes of work I can usually figure it out. And the player can see that it is dominent beyond a shadow of a doubt after that. Some of these people even tell me when we start that they don't have a dominent eye. They are very surprised when they find out and are shown that they do. One of these players was DR DAVE. He could tell you first hand. His exact words were I don't have a dominent eye. Some people even think it is their right eye when it is their left.
This is one of the puzzles that needs to be solved for a person to be really accurate at lining up their shots. Without this I wouldn't be able to teach people how to aim because nothing would work.
If you read this Dave would you please comment on this issue.
Like I said Scott, out of the almost 800 Perfect Aim lessons I have found or helped to find everyones dominant eye. That's like 100%. I can and will find anyones dominent eye. It's kind of tricky and we need to be on the pool table but I can't say anymore. This secret stay with PERFECT AIM .

Have a great day Geno...............

Gene, the link in your signature is messed up.

I'm interested in the DVD, but $80, I'm still thinking about it!

 

[genomachino]

Like to meet you someday

You have answer a question I was hoping you would about your system.:thumbup:

Hi there Cowboy, I'd like to meet you someday. If I ever get to where you are and you know who I am just tell me your the cowboy and I'll know. Thanks Geno...............

I've only had a chance to give it a once-thru. As a centerball aimer, it will take some modifications. I tried some things with it today that seem promising, but will have to see if things hold up on repeat sessions. My time is pretty well taken up until September ... more time for pool in the Fall.

 

[Scott Lee]

Gene...The figure I quoted comes from research. If you give 8000 lessons, there will still be a significant percentage of those, who do not have a dominant eye. It's possible for someone to "convince" anybody of anything, if it is approached properly. You're regarded as somewhat of an authority figure (because you play well), but that doesn't mean that your assessment of someone's eye dominance is correct. I'm certainly curious enough, to meet up with you, and pay for a lesson on Perfect Aim, to see how it works.

I don't come on here to put down your "system", or discount the number of people who feel you have helped them. However, that said, there is no "magic bullit" that will cause someone to significantly improve 'overnight'. No matter what someone learns, it will take time to integrate that information into their personal process. Some will do it more quickly than others...some will never be able to make it 'work' for them.

Hi there,
I would like to know who did this research because they are giving misinformation. I don't convince anybody about anything. They can see it. I am telling you this from my own information on all the lessons that I have given. Absolutely the player knows which eye is dominent. I don't tell them,I just help them figure it out. After this and that and moving here and there with the head down aiming they can tell which is dominent for sure.
On this magic bullit thing, this is the second time you brought this up. The people that I teach have such an astounding improvement immediately. Not a week or month or year. This is the way that the eyes see the shots on the table naturally. Just read the testimonies from the people that only ordered the video. They are saying they can see the shots better right away. Their games are improving right away. Now over a period of time there is no telling how much better they will be shooting. But the reason PERFECT AIM is on fire is that it works and right now. The players can see this with their own eyes. But you know everyone thought the world was flat once upon a time. To be honest Scott I almost can't believe that I figured this out. This is what made me the player I was and now after getting my health back , I am becoming again. I have worked at PERFECT AIM myself everyday to try and make it better. I have a couple of things to add when we redo the original video. Both of these things are brand new. I looked and can't find anything anywhere that anybody is teaching these new items and they will help the players so much.
And your right some people will learn at different speeds. The players that play at a lower level will improve the most. They don't know it but their eyes are far off the mark. Once they see PERFECT AIM they will improve the fastest. The top players don't improve alot because once you get playing at that top level there is not much room for improvement but the little that PERFECT AIM does for them is huge. They have been stuck in the same tier forever. All of a sudden they can make these few shots that they just dreaded. Now the shot that they hang in the pocket goes in clean. Once this top player gets ahold of this they are tougher to beat. I know because I taught some in Minnesota. I created a few monsters there and was there long enough to see it. They kept asking me when are you going to do the video. Jerry Stuckert in Phoenix sent a message to me on AZ telling me that everybody is playing everyone. They don't know who can beat who because the ones that took the lessons games have changed so much and they know it. Frank Robartz was one of the first ones in Phoenix to learn Perfect Aim . He almost immediately started winning alot of the weekly tournament. All this time playing better and better. He was rated a 9 when I gave him the lesson. Lenny said that they were thinking about raising him up to a ten before the Desert Classic tour.He was already shooting real good. It was no accident that he got 2nd place in the tourny beating some of the top players around including Scott Frost. Tell Frank there is no magic bullit. He'll tell you this is close to it.
I hope someday I can show this to you in person Scott and see the big smile that everyone gets when they realise what this PERFECT AIM can do for their pool game. I'm sure that your a real nice guy but how can you say anything negative at all about something you have never seen. Someday when you see and learn the PERFECT AIM I know you will be one of the biggest supporters. Perfect Aim will stand the test of time. This is the way the eyes work. There are too many walking talking testimonials that know how this works and it really works. Rodney (ROCKET) Morris said it right. I asked Rodney after I showed him PERFECT AIM if he could think of a different name for this method. He said. I think that's perfect. PERFECT AIM. The name says it all. Perfect.

Have a great day Scott. Looking forward to meeting you someday. Geno....

i followed this thread in the very beginning then just for the last few pages so forgive me if i travel over walked ground. i have thought about buying your DVD but hesitated for a couple of reasons. $80 dollars is a lot for an instructional DVD, as other posters have mentioned. you often mention the testimonials on you site, but come on no one posts the negative feedback they have received. while i dont always agree with everything scott lee posts, i have taken a lesson from him and it helped my game quite a bit and i respect him. he quotes from research (would be great if he could site source) you rely on anecdotal evidence based on lessons you have give. its seems that a lot of your system is based on dominant eye stuff and you always speak of "when i give lessons i help the student see which eye is dominant". you may have success with your personal lessons, but how will this translate to the DVD? how will you be able to show me on the DVD things that you would in person esp something as difficult as dominant eye (which i may not even have)? before i spend $80 on your DVD i'd need these concerns addressed.

I have a couple of things to add when we redo the original video.

So when is the new video coming out?

Gene,

I think the eye dominance thing can be less strong for some people compared to others. I told you I thought I didn't have a dominant eye, because whenever I do the "tests" to determine which eye might be dominant, I don't seem to get conclusive results. An example test, and various comments about "dominant eye," can be found here:

http://billiards.colostate.edu/threads/aiming.html#dominant​

I've always naturally positioned my cue under a point between my right eye and nose. This might indicate my right eye is slightly dominant. When I met with you, you convinced me my right eye might be more dominant than I thought, but I'm still not sure about the best location for my cue. I enjoyed learning from you that the best cue placement might be different on different shots.

I think the ideal placement of the cue relative to the eyes can be a very individual thing. Also, there are strong opinions for and against the importance of eye dominance in pool. I think it is important for each person to find the ideal placement of the cue to give the mind the best view of the shot, and it is also important that the person be very consistent in how they align the cue. However, I think the ideal position could be under the dominant eye, under the nose, or any position between. I think a thorough scientific study on this topic would be interesting; although, it would be a big effort.

Having said all of this, I like how you make people more aware of the importance of cue placement and how it can affect the "vision" of a shot.

Regards,
Dave

not exactly a ringing endorsement for the alleged "perfect aim" system. how important is the "dominant eye" to your whole system? and how does your dvd help to determine this? after i spend $80 for you dvd will i have to call you or actually somehow manage a personal lesson to see any improvement?

brian

ps while i try not to be the grammar or spelling police (i make plenty of mistakes, not known for my typing prowess) could you at least spell dominant correctly?

 

[dr_dave]

I did not intend to either endorse or critique Gene's PERFECT AIM approach. I think he is a good instructor, and I think anyone could benefit from a lesson with him. All experienced instructors have something to offer, and I think it is useful to learn things from different perspectives. I personally never pass up an opportunity to meet and share ideas with an instructor, regardless of their reputation or experience.

dave,

i understand that but gene cited you specifically and called upon you to respond as someone who was won over by his system. from your comments it appears that you dont buy into his system as much as he thought you did. makes me wonder how many of his "8000" other teaching sessions are the same. i agree is always good to learn as much as you can, then use what works for you. he may be a great teacher in person, but i am trying to determine if he will be as effective on a dvd rather than in person? how will his system and methods translate when he is not there personally? is the dvd really worth the $80? i am waiting to hear more from gene.

[PKM]

Let me ask this, to Gene or anyone else familiar with it: I know that I am right-eye dominant, and that for me to perceive a straight line correctly I need to line up my cue slightly towards my left eye rather than directly under my dominant eye.

Of course that doesn't mean that I am able to sight and align myself perfectly on every shot.

Can this system still help me?

It sounds like it is telling you to change your head position for different shots, is that correct?

Hi there,
Right now we are closing in on close to 1,000 PERFECT AIM videos sold. If there would be some bad raps on it they would be all over the internet. Do you see any bad reviews on AZ Billiards at all. Everything on this thread is there for you and anybody else to read. Back in the early part of thread one guy said he was going to wait and see because if this is no good the people on AZ would chew it up and spit it out. I asked him how long he was going to wait. We had already sold about 400 and there was not one negative comment from anyone that had purchased a video. He wrote back THAT"S INCREDIBLE. I never thought about that. Sign me up. He became a very happy believer in PERFECT AIM. When I see or figure out something new I work with it before I say it is probably no good. I can play like Scott said and that gives me a big advantage. Anything I see I can evaluate it very quickly to see if it works or not. I just don't say it works or doesn't but try it out. I'm sure Scott Lee is a great person and I know he has helped alot of people with their pool game. In fact I have heard alot of good feedback about Scott. I recommend getting a lesson from him based on what I have heard.
The testimonials on my site www.perfectaimbilliards.com are pretty much word for word what people are saying. I don't have anyone that said anything negative. Here we go again. How can I defend or prove that? See what I mean. It's kind of rediculous. Hope you get yourself a video. If so you can call me for a personal call directly to myself if you have any questions on anything at all in the video. You will see why and become another believer in perfect aim. Have a great pool day. Thanks Geno.....

ur post completely fails to address my concerns. how much of ur "perfect aim" system has to do with dominant eye? and how do you handle this in your dvd?

[TheBrain]

Hi again.
Someone asked me via PM if I have been able to meintain my perfect alignment, and I thought this might be of interest, so I post this here. The answer is yes and no. I was now playing on 4 different days (including the day when I first had success) and it went like this:
1st day: win
2nd day: fail
3rd day: win
4th day: fail

What did I do on day 1 and 3 that I didn't do on day 2 and 4? Practice... I think it's mainly because of my head-turn-thing that it's difficult for me find the spot. When I'm there, it works as long as I play, and I can actually play a match without losing it (aim and match :lol.
Day 5 will be a win, because I'm going to practice until I find it again.

I also noticed, that when I'm there, I don't care much about my arm anymore. Honestly I don't even know what my elbow does or if my upper arm is aligned properly, 90°... I don't care. I just force my cue to move on the "rail" that I perceive, and it feels good.
On the dark side, when I don't see the shots right ... well ... I don't want to play like that anymore. :barf:
It takes time and practice, I guess. Once you understand the concept and know how to find the spot, you are halfway there.
