Yes, if he does the low planar test with the sight right, it should be directly under his good eye. However, when standing above the shot, pre shot, it could help him establish a true center point using his body as a reference point in order to get his cue on the correct line before positioning his stance based on that line.
I tested this too and it is fine product. I was pretty spot on perfect line most of what i tested(borrowed from friend for couple days) and fooled around with it.
However. I gonna get one for teaching. I think this is wonderful tool for pool teachers.
It won´t still fix center ball dilemma. Where one think center ball is... and really it is not.
Still even with perfect line some days I miss judge center ball vertical axis. I seem to think it is more to right than it should be. Tool was great for realizing that.
I got some drills that i invented long time ago to fix that and find line of aim . I just need to make them more often to keep my bad habits away.

So, I wanted to reply to this. I know I haven't posted here in a while but I do think of you guys often and fondly!
I've been working with Stephen Feeney (the inventor of SightRight) for the past couple of months as I train for the US Open. I'm a 650 FR so my aspirations have been modest - I want to bring the best version of myself to Frisco and see what happens. I'm now at a point where I can confidently say I've incorporated his lessons into my own routine and I feel exponentially improved. I don't know how that's going to translate when play begins but I feel ready for my most glorious two-and-out with the hopes that something more may be in store for me.
What is SightRight? It's more than just a tool. The tool is almost like an introduction - it's to show you what you're doing wrong but it doesn't show you how to do it right. That's where Feeney's videos and coaching come into play. In fact, the overwhelming majority of time I've spent with him did not involve the tool at all.
I know one person here was looking for a single sentence summary - Feeney reprograms your brain to properly see alignment. That's it. He's not using some sort of revolutionary idea or concept. Everything here is rooted in science. But, his methods seem to consistently get students to have a far better understanding of the shot line.
One person asked if you can learn SightRight if you only have one eye. I don't see why not but that's a great question to ask him. I'm sure this is a topic he's already addressed. From my own experiences and as mentioned, everyone still possesses a "SightRight Line". I don't see how one eye would hinder that but you should definitely email him and ask.
In my opinion, these are the resources Europe has used over the last few decades to surpass the United States in the Mosconi Cup. Prior to meeting Feeney, I never had any formal training in how to aim. I think most pool players learn the same way I did - by hitting a million balls until they started going in. Feeney's methods are more direct and leave you with the satisfaction of *knowing* rather than *believing* in what you're doing. He is an expert in teaching precision and I think he's Europe's best kept secret.

I'm gonna see if the grandkids have any spare LEGO pieces and make one
Saw this thread today and thought this was cool and I understand wanting to sell it with the training. But, I had some scrap Delrin laying around so I hit the bandsaw and mill. I can see the value in this little tool, I bet the instruction is just as good.
i wonder if its still being made
hope someone comes up with a link

I don’t think a one-eyed player needs it - “vision center” is for coping with 2-eyed vision and a dominant eye.

you're on your own now. a friend made on of these out of a piece of index card paper. i guess it works.
OWE????? You gotta post next time.
I've found this to work for me....when I kick out my left foot I stop when my right eyes in line with the contact point on the obj. ball.
If I ''kick out'' too much I hit the obj ball too fat, ''kick out'' too little I over cut the shot. Since I know before I get down on the shot what cueing and speed I need to pocket the ball, my walk up is always slightly different/as I develop my feel for that shot/play conditions/needed cueing.

You'd be surprised. From what I've seen just in myself, I would stand to the side of the shot to measure it. Feeney says this is very common for pool players. Although you're right - it's designed specifically to accommodate two eyes, the habit of standing to the side of the shot can still happen. Honestly, I didn't realize I was doing it until I got the tool and I didn't fully correct it until I met with Feeney.
Did the same a few years ago...
