Perfect Aim / Vilmos VS Can $40,000.00 match..

[genomachino]

This match was a classic example of a player that needed to know Perfect Aim Versus someone that didn't need it at all.

Vilmos aims like most players with the cue slightly to the left of his nose. He's left eye dominant.

Can aims with only one eye. When I told him this in Beloit a few weeks ago he was kind of surprised that I knew. He's really a good kid, only 20 years old.

Aiming only with one eye Can doesn't have the problem that the 95% of other players have. He aims like a telescope. About 5% of all pool players are like Can.

After the first day Vilmos had a lead, 20 to 16. Looked like he was going to come through and win this thing. Can really looked like the underdog.

As they were warming up I could see Vilmos was having a little trouble making balls while warming up. I could see he was having trouble but wasn't aware how bad the trouble was.

Being left eye dominant his right eye shoots cuts to the right and his left eye shoots cuts to the left. When he cuts to the left it happens pretty naturally but when he cuts to the right he needs to keep the right eye from trying to work like the dominant eye.

The second day I watched Vilmos miss 4 cuts to the right in a row that were a 1/4 ball hit or less and he cut them all too thick. Classic example what I teach and Perfect Aim will fix.

Then I noticed that he was even missing shots cut to the left too thin. Classic example of how a players misses to the left if his dominant eye is in the not so Perfect Position.

I already had $500 on this match on the internet and once I saw this I got on the phone and started making some calls to bet 500 more. Can was still behind at the time 2 games but I could see the weakness in the aiming ability of Vilmos because the longer this eyes are not in the right position, the worse the problem can become.

At one point Vilmos had a chance to cut a ball in the side pocket to the right and he decided to try to bank it missing the bank. He knew that he wasn't seeing the shots right and opted for the bank.

Even when he was playing safe he was hitting the ball too thin or too thick causing the shape to be out of line. Not on every shot but one here and there....


Like I said before, the longer the eyes are out of wack the worse it can get especially in a big pressure match like this.

Anyone that watches this second day video will see exactly what I'm talking about.

I'm going to try and get a copy of this from lenny and clip all these shots out and make a little video of how obvious this was to myself. That way it will be simple for anyone to see this trouble with the aiming.

Cut's to the left were too thin, cuts to the right were always too thick.

Vilmos didn't dog the shots. he dogged the eyes. Having no knowledge on how to correct this problem is certain doom in a match like this.

This is what Perfect Aim is all about. getting the eyes in the Perfect Position to see every shot absolutely correct so it will look like it will go. because if it doesn't look like it will go it probably won't.

Once someone learns how this works it's a no brainer. they would see exactly what I saw. I don't know if they would have tried to bet more money like me but they would definitely have seen what was going on.

And before someone comments on this please watch the video of the second day. The first dozen games and you will definitely see cut shots to the left too thin. Cut shots to the right too thick.

Perfect Aim would have straightened this right out.:grin:

Here is the video where Vilmos trouble started........

Just go to https://vimeo.com/album/4806116 ( part 6 ) and you too can see the problem. It started in the first rack cutting the 2 ball to the right. And it gets worse as the match goes on. This is Vilmos non dominant right eye that actually shoots the shot. Not a tough shot but it is about a 1/3 or 1/4 cut to the right. This is the angle that really exposes the problem.

Eventually he missed one to the left and it was too thin.

This is what Perfect Aim is all about. Knowing where the eyes have to be manually instead of just trying to let the brain figure it out accidently or from repetition. When the right eye starts trying to work like the dominant eye just a little this is what happens. Not knowing how to correct this the player is in big trouble especially in high pressure situations.

Thanks Lenny for the great job you did with this stream. Very professional.

Thumbs up, Geno!
I don't know why it works but I still, just from our phone conversation, start out to the right of the shot and step in. Very natural. Wasn't at first because I am a lefty but I am used to it now.

It works BECAUSE This is the way the eyes naturally do it......

Hi Koop and thanks for your input. Educated if I don't say so myself.

Once a player understands this they can make it their own. You obviously have and you know how to correct your aim when it doesn't quite look correct.

If you were going to teach this to someone else you would first have to find their dominant eye for sure. Pointing and looking through hole tests are not very accurate. Then show them it doesn't seem to matter in the preshot. looks good both ways.

Your left eye dominant, if I remember right. The right eye dominant person would be just the opposite of everything you have to do to envision the shot as good as humanly possible.

Then there is the player that aims with only one eye like a rifle. They fit into a whole different category than the 95% of all other players.

The reason this all works is because it is the way the eyes naturally work with the brain. the eyes don't naturally get there very well and many players would have to hit a million or so balls to get to this most natural position.

Kind of like baking a cake. Your going to do it from scratch. Nothing to measure with but just feel. Sometimes it turns out really well because you guessed just right at what was going into it. Kind of like a player that says they play by feel.

I'm baking the cake and all the ingredients are measured Perfectly. I will not make any mistakes on this part of the game.

Now we still have to cook it and put frosting on it just like you have to run the rack out with your total knowledge of the game.

But I really like my chances of my cake turning out better by not guessing at the ingredients.

When you Koop or anyone else that has learned Perfect Aim and has successfully applied it to their game gets down to shoot a shot, your not guessing on that part of the game(The EYES).

If those eyes are not right my friend, the sights are crooked on the gun.

The other parts of the game just don't work as well.

On this match I stressed allot on the shots that were missed but it goes even deeper than this.

The safes that were missed are a huge factor also. because if you don't hit the correct amount of the ball when playing safe, whitey just doesn't seem to go where you want it to.

There was allot of this going on also.

Can aiming with that one eye that he shoots with allowed him to play those safes pretty sporty. He had no trouble getting the dominant eye in the best position. It always seemed like Vilmos was kicking at a ball.

On the other hand, As the eyes got out of balance, not only was he missing shot but the safe game was out of wack also.

This is why the last day score was so lopsided. 24-9.

It was all about the eyes.....And only someone that totally understands Perfect Aim would totally understand what happened here with this match.
