Has anyone noticed that if you play with your off hand exclusively for a few hours, when you switch back to your good hand, you can see your shots a little more clearly?
Switching hands

I do this pretty often, if only to get used to shooting simple shots left-handed. I still use the rake if I can't reach, but after several hours/days of playing every shot left handed I can swich back and forth without much thought and can deliver a pretty good stroke left- handed. BTW I have noticed that after playing left handed for awhile, I really play well when I switch back.

any change makes you focus
Most of us don't focus as sharply as we can all of the time. Some consider that a flaw, some don't. Regardless, any change increases focus while we are getting used to it. That focus carries over for awhile.
Shooting both snooker and pool daily had the same effect for me and this is why almost any change, good or bad, often seems to be an improvement at first.

Try closing your eyes right before shooting your shots....do that for an hour or two and then notice how much more clearly you see shots when you keep them open...
I am half joking of course...but you will be surprised at what you notice about your whole set up and stroke when you shoot the actual shot with your eyes closed...

Might give you idea a try.
I actually practice using my left hand for a whole night or practice session. I have noticed that when using my left hand, I tend to do less of the bad habits that I do when shooting with my right hand. Granted, I am not able to stroke the ball quite as well for those "juiced" shots but I am able to play very well with my left hand. I think that being able to play effectively with your "off" hand really makes you a much stronger opponent as you have more control than someone shooting behind their back or using the rake. It also does something to the confidence of your opponent if they see you switching hands and making balls while getting shape. Trust me!
