Would anybody be interested in hearing what has caused me to shy away from genomachino and Perfect Aim and this thread?

I'd recommend you give him a call I know you are a student of the game. I suppose this is how all the CTE people (that get it) feel. Its like you can't miss. I've read most of Dr Dave's stuff, and you really need Gene on the line with you to help you get it. IMO. And I'm the last person here, well other than maybe you and Lou, to adhere to any aiming system. ha ha. Maybe its ok in this case because its really about head/eye alignment, and not aiming at edges and then pivoting like the other systems. PS, you do need to know where the pocket is for this one
Yes please, we are all dying?
Seriously though it’s kind of dumb. You spent so much time on this thread explicitly asking gene questions and pointing him to your identical straight in shot posts in the instructor forum. You could have just called him instead. Hell, maybe he would’nt have even charged you. It’s like you’ve been trolling him and us this whole time.
Wrong.
And how much time have I spent on this thread compared to others? How many posts do I have compared to others? And you claim I am trolling???
I was trying to get at least a little piece of info that might make me think its all legit before I pulled the trigger.
Anyway, here goes........
I had a supposed "World Class" instructor tell me he gave Karen Corr a lesson. I later found out all he did was help her get her instructor certification. Big difference.
And I'm sorry Gene, but here goes. You told me you worked with Tyler Styer and Sky Woodward. I checked with both of them. They both said no, that they never took a lesson from you. I was also told you tried to show one of them something but the player in question said it didnt help any.
All of this straight from the horses mouth. I think everybody should be made aware of this.

Tyler Styer would not say that . I gave him a lesson at Romines. I think he was 16. I showed Sky at a tournament in Cape Giardo how these eyes worked. I try to work with all the kids and help all I can. I think he was 17 maybe 16. Not sure.
I met Sky in person in Duluth, MN at the $1000.00 entry tournament at the Break Room. We were sitting there and Sky asked me when I was going to show him more. He said I know you know more than what you showed me before. About 3 months ago I sent a message to Sky telling I would show him the new stuff on skype. He said cool . But He wasn't playing at all at the time because of the pandemic and didn't have a table.
You get in trouble assuming my friend.
I also showed this to Rodney Morris also in 2009. He really liked it.
You didn't hear this from any horses mouth my friend. Both these kids are good guys.
This is really a shame. The 5 years that I was on the road I never missed a chance to try and help the young players and for free. Your trying to make the wrong guy look bad.
You might think so , but it really is so natural. It feels right when you do it.
It is hard to explain. It is like this is the way you want to see the shot but a lot of times you can't get there.
Gene's tutoring helps you get there. But you fall back on your old ways. That is why I can see the shot so perfectly sometimes and it just feels natural. And other times I don't, and I cant figure out why. Then I go back to the video realize what I did wrong and correct the error, and it al works again.
And it just feels right.
I would be in a world of hurt right now, and very frustrated, if I did not have the video to go back to.
And I don't think I would have understand the video, if I didn't first have the lesson from Gene.
So I can understand why people that just see the video doesn't think this works.
You need both.
I get why this is so hard to teach or explain, you really have to experience it to understand it.
So I'll jump back in with my experience doing a lesson with Gene, because this sounds like a legit thought, and not more salesman lynching.
My mechanics are pretty solid. To the point where I never get any comments on them other then how dialed in I am when approaching every shot. If anything I'll have new opponents or first time on lookers make it a point to speak to me about it. I feel pretty damn confident that my alignment while addressing shots is pretty damn consistent.
Keeping that in mind, here's what I experience when cutting the OB to the left as compared to the right. We should note that I'm also a chin centered over cue kind of player.
I address every shot as I would normally. While standing I find my angle to make the OB, then my line from the CB to the OB to get the amount of cut required. When cutting to the right, as I get down on the shot everything remains clear and I can adjust my aim clearly. When cutting to the left, as I get down on the shot, my vision starts skew/blur while focusing on the OB. At this point I start to hunt for what "feels" correct as I don't see the OB with sharp detail. I rely on experience to find the correct CB path to the OB. Prior to speaking to Gene, the adjustment on LH cuts I was making was automatic, and my difficulty was "just part of my game".
What Gene did for me was point out that he could plainly see what I was doing in terms of compensation, explain why and how to correct it while addressing the ball. No secret sauce, request for money, and no aiming system required. Just an explanation, and the minor adjustment I would need to make to remedy what I was experiencing. I tried what he suggested, (which for me was a slight tilt of my head) and it cleared my focus on the OB on those left hand cuts.
Do I use what he suggested...?..., no I don't. Would it improve my game...?..., meh maybe. Why don't I...?.., because I've been doing the same thing for over 30yrs and that slight tilt doesn't feel natural to me.
Would anybody be interested in hearing what has caused me to shy away from genomachino and Perfect Aim and this thread?

I read your clarification of this. Anything to add?
All I know is what I was told by the two players in question. I dont know if Gene's system works or not. Some think he's great, some think its all blow and no show.
Tyler's response: "No, I use CTE Pro One by Stan Shuffett"
Sky's response: "No, I never took a lesson from him. He tried to show me one thing on one shot but it didnt help any"

So exagertising then... :grin-square:
The head tilt part. I've found that the head positioning adjustments I've experimented with, all worked to some degree and had more to do with subtle stroke alignment than image correction.
For me,
The Filler tilt works best and requires the least body adjustment. When my contact point stroking starts to drift, the head tilt is what I do to re-calibrate.
The Morra lean works best for forceful stroking. It attenuates the outward hook caused by your swinging arm heading for your navel.
The Strickland sniper sight, works pretty well for med shots because the arm can swing closer to a true pendulum. To me it's just plain awkward.
It comes down to physique. The taller you are, the more built in leverage you have, therefore the less strain based biases.
You say you shelved GM's input. was the time worth it?

And the thread became a pissing war
Well if that is "the entirety" of what each said, then that still leaves room for what Geno said regarding working with them to be 100% correct.
Uhhhh......what, do you not know what the word "NO" means?????
