Is there anyone here that already new about this way of alinging yourself
to the shot before gene come out with this video?I think so.Some might me doing it with out the need to get the dvd.Would the dvd be good for beginners,yes but i also think that our eyes are all different so we may see
things alittle different so perfect aim may not work on all people.
(By far to my knowledge the best system for aiming has
never been talked about in this forum).

OOOOOOOOO the potential for another aiming thread :grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin:
Dont tease us like that! LOL
Next time you are in Arizona I will be willing to share my AIMING SECRETS with you for FREE.
BTW I do not GAMBLE....:wink:
l
nice try.
you can send me one for free,,,,ill watch it and tell you what i think, then send it back.surely youve made enuff money at $80 a pop to beable to ship one to a fellow Az'er....
a quote from your perfect aim website that i couldnt disagree with more. "Many instructors will blame missed shots on your stance or stroke -- but working on those things will have absolutely no effect if you're unable to aim perfect."
Stance and stroke is the foundation for every pool champions success
Hi there,
Glad to see your interested in improving your game. I just got back to the Twin Cities area 100 miles west of my home town Eau Claire ,Wi. There are some players there that have never won any tournament of any size that have been tearing it up. One of them named Matt tore me up 2 days ago. Matt just won a casino tournament this last weekend. 8 months ago I would have taken him lightly. Another one did real well in the US Open. I'm so busy giving lessons back here I can't believe it?
Not only that but I get emails all the time from all over the country. These players are so thankful for what they have finally learned. It's the same old same old as when I started this NEVER BEFORE SEEN Perfect Aim. It's the players that have not seen it that complain about things. Go back to the thread. These guys are AZers like you and me. They are telling the truth. They want to improve their game and have greatly by learning Perfect Aim and they didn't have to work at it for 6 months to see a little improvement. The improvement was huge and the results were quick.
If you are aiming a rifle and you stand perfect and do everything you can do perfect but you don't know how to put your eye on the sight properly the results will be terrible. There is a natural sight when you aim a pool shot where it looks perfect. This is what Perfect Aim has unlocked. You could still miss it if your stroke is bad or your stance is terrible. But most of us have a good stroke and stand pretty correct and there just seems to be something missing. You will miss shots if you don't have the eyes in the right position.
When I give my Perfect Aim lesson I am finding that the ability of the player usually coincides with how far off their aiming is. The better players naturally get these eyes in the more perfect spot but when they learn Perfect Aim they almost freak out at how much better they see the shots. And I mean all shots. They almost can't believe their eyes.
When instructors help a player with their stance it also helps them get their eyes in a better position. But believe me better is second best when there is a video like Perfect Aim.
If you go back through the thread I have sent about 5 videos out to a few players that really seemed sincere. They told me if it worked the way I said and the other 1000 players or so that have learn Perfect Aim say it worked,(1000 is too low) they would send the cash. They not only sent the cash but were really greatful for what they learned.
Perfect Aim is one of the biggest breakthroughs as far as self improvement of ones pool game ever. It helps the beginner to the pro. The results speak for themselves.
It works, What else can I say''''''''...........Have a great day Geno.......
Hi there Randy,
Of course if anyone is teaching someone to aim it is similar. But there is only one place to have the eyes when you aim a rifle and no matter how someone is aiming if they are making the ball, the eyes are where they need to be. There is only one spot.
Apples and oranges are similar. They are both fruit but they are not the same.
Geno my friend. What does aiming a rifle have to do with pool?? randyg
I am an inconsistent player, and someone said pool is like 75% Mental, and 25% Knowledge, and I am being held back by my MIND.
Well that is not true, and some of the Stuff Sold on TV that works on TV, don't work like advertised.
I know a lady who recently had Surgery at Mayo in SNOTSDALE, it was a Simple Procedure. She choose Mayo because of it Reputation, and paid EXTRA to have the procedure at MAYO. DOC Screwed up big time, and see almost died, at the BEST HOSPITAL!
Alot of peope sight down the cue and aim with the end of the the cue at a spot they want to hit dont they? especaily when its straight or a slight angle.(its the best way ,the only way and it gets the job done as long as you stroke straight).I do alot of hunting and i have a few guns with a open
sights,the only difference with the gun i use my dominate eye the other one
is closed,wether its a cue or a rifle you are still sight down to the end of
a object at target the only difference are how you use your eyes.
I agree some what.
Well ok let's use that rifle. Rear sight-one eye. Stock on cheek.
Cue stick. No sight-both eyes. Cue somewhere around head.
No correlation....SPF=randyg
You forgot to apply your apples and oranges principle to your own idea. Aiming a rifle and aiming a cue stick are similar, but they're not the same.
There's only one place for anybody's eye (singular) when aiming a rifle, but that doesn't mean there's only one place for everybody's eyes (plural) when aiming a cue stick or aligning balls in pool. The difference is that when aiming a rifle you're using only one eye and you can get your eye directly behind and in line with the rifle sights and the target, but when aiming a stick or balls you use both eyes and your eyes are always above the line the stick and balls are on.
You use monocular vision to aim a rifle, but binocular vision to aim in pool, and the two are very different. With binocular vision from above it isn't necessarily best to have one eye directly above the things you're trying to align - sometimes, or for some people, it's best to have the things you're trying to align somewhere between the eyes because that's where your brain assembles the twin images from your binocular vision to present the truest single image (mostly due to which eye is dominant and how strongly dominant it is).
I don't know if this is what you teach because I haven't seen your DVD yet, but in general it's not valid to equate sighting a rifle with sighting in pool, although there are similarities.

If you could get your face under the tables playing surface you would be
able to sight the cue the same way you sight a rifle......
head position is why its alittle different...................
and cue position...........

It is refreshing to see a post with actual content (and useful information) for a change in this thread.
Good job,
Dave
PS: The topics of "sighting," "dominant eye," and "aiming" have been "covered" on the forums at great length over the years. If people are curious, I have good summaries from past discussions, and links to additional resources on these topics, here: aiming, dominant eye, sighting
While the statement that "pool is 90% (insert other number here) mental, etc or whatever is a true statement, I wish it was said far less often!
It is repeated MOST often by people to whom it DOES NOT apply!!
This is ONLY a true statement when you have a VERY good command over the physical aspects. ONLY THEN does the game become more of a mental excercise.
If you could magically transfer ALL of the pool knowledge of a champion to a beginner- IT WOULD ALMOST BE OF NO VALUE!
That beginner would not have a smooth, straight stroke, or the muscle memory of the pro ( or even intermediate) player. ALL of that knowledge would be useless.
This statement seems to keep a lot of players from working on the things that will most help their game. Why should I do drills now? Why worry about my stance, or even my stroke? I need to work on my MENTAL game!
Tell you what- you go work on nothing but your MENTAL game for 6 months, and then we will have a match! I mean no physical playing on a real and physical pool table for the 6 months. What do you need a table for? Pool is mostly mental, right? You can play all the shots in your head, you can read all the books you want, you can watch videos, play computer pool, learn advanced strategy. Your metal game will be HUGE! I will surel be at a disadvantage when faced with your superior visualization skills! I only ask for 2 to 1 odds on the money. You'll be stealing!
You are right though, YOU are in your own way to self improvement. Why do you so strongly resist new information? I am ALWAYS looking for new knowledge that may help me. Now you do need to filter the info you find, but to be so against it without any real understanding or even an attempt to understand it before completely dismissing it- THAT is where your mind is crippling you.
As soon as you believe yourself to be too good to learn something new, you have proven it to be true!

Hi there Randy,
There are many ways of aiming out there but there is only one place to have the eyes to see the shot perfectly. There is only one spot that is perfect when we aim a rifle and that is pretty obvious. It's not so obvious with aiming a pool shot. Once I teach someone Perfect Aim they can start to see this.
I wish when I first started this and I saw you in Vegas last may that I could have showed you Perfect Aim instead of a 5 minute conversation about it. You are very knowledgeable about pool and I know you would have been impressed with the whole package of Perfect Aim.
I know some people want to call this a sighting method and some want to call it an aiming method which doesn't really matter. The bottom line is they can put the ball in the hole and get their shape on the next ball because they hit the right amount of the ball they are hitting more consistently. They are more confident about the shot because it looks like they have it aimed right therefor the follow thru is good with no twisting and no jumping from uncertaianty.
There are many aiming methods out there to help players aim better. Some are pretty good and some are really bad. I have found when players have showed me these other ways to aim that when they do have a shot aimed correctly with any system the eyes are in the same place that they are with Perfect Aim. There is only one correct position to have the eyes regardless of how you are looking at the shot. This spot is not in the same position for everyone because the degree of dominence is different for everyone. If it was the same then it would be as simple as aiming a rifle. I don't claim to have figured it out. I have figured it out. Just listen to the players that have learned and really know how Perfect Aim works. There is nothing on the pool market today that even comes close to making it so easy and simple to aim a pool shot and understanding what you are doing.
The difference is with these other aiming systems that on some shots they just don't work so well. This is what I have seen and have been told by the players that I am teaching. These are not just thoughts I have pulled out of my hat and said this is the way that it is.
I am trying to share with pool players everywhere the knowledge that I have,what I am learning,what I have learned,and what I am applying that works. I'm out here in the trenches doing it everyday. I live,sleep and eat pool everyday.
As long as I am at it if you want to give me a call. I will tell you exactly how you can find anyones dominent eye with a few tests with a few aiming shots. Some players it is almost impossible to find. They appear not to have any dominence. This makes it pretty cut and dried. Once we find out which eye it is it is pretty obvious to the player. Without knowing this it is difficult to put the site where it needs to be just like you would a rifle.
Aiming a rifle and aiming a pool shot are very different but there is only one spot for that player to have his or her eyes that looks perfect to them. It needs to be found. Once this is found it is so simple. Just like lining up the sites on a rifle. This is huge to know for any player at any level. Even at the pro level.
Have a great day. Geno 715-563-8712 or pm your number and I'll call you

I resemble that remark...........
Hi there Cowboy,
The good news is I don't think,(maybe I'm wrong), but I don't think anyone has ever almost died from a pool lesson. Even though I'm sure some lessons are pretty bad.
Have a great day............
