I am posting this here on my own as I did not want to hijack Genes thread , I want everyone to know I was already going to post this before Genes post. This is my own review and not one that Gene has asked for.
My review of Perfect Aim
Well A few weeks ago I spoke with Gene about his Perfect Aim system, I told him I wanted to teach it to my son Manny Perez.
As some of you may know Manny Just won a National title at the VNEA International Jr pool championships this Past Summer.
He took 1st place in team championships and 1st place in the individual Artistic pool championship, He also took 5-6th in the
Singles championship. All this at 11 years old.
Well after speaking with Gene we decided, That Perfect Aim would be a great addition to the Aiming system I taught Manny.
The reason being is this, lets teach him Perfect Aim, and give him all the tools he needs to become a great player. Well Let
me tell you this, What Gene is teaching is so simple that it is easy to learn.
Manny is asorbing the information and Gobbling up players faster than a Pacman on Steroids!
Now to be Honest Manny still has his bad days but his good days far out number the bad . With learning Genes system he has
taken down some better players out here at shooters in olathe ks, and around town in tournament play. Now he by no
means is a world beater yet, But he looks like maybe he will get there someday if he continue to use Genes system .
Ok, now for my personal take and review of Perfect Aim.
1st Off I think Gene did a great job with the DvD, Maybe it is not as polished as a professionally done DvD , But than again
I don`t think It was that far off. I found it to be easy to navigate with lessons broken down into steps.
I did not have any trouble with understanding what Gene was explaining as some have posted before. I found the info easy and
quick to understand. Plus with the option to call and ask Gene for clarification I thought that made it even better.
Now, Once I reviewed Perfect Aim, I did place a call to Gene just to hear from him If what I was understanding was the same
thing he was trying to instruct. turns out it was.
Ok, Now here is a breakdown of the Perfect Aim DVD.
Introduction:
Gene starts out with a 3 minute intro about Perfect Aim. Here he explains why most people are inconsistant in their pool
game when it comes to pocketing balls. He he explains a bit about what makes Perfect Aim work.
It is also a introduction to the rest of the DvD, Gene goes briefly as to what info is contained in the next chapters. And a
little history about Perfect Aim.
Chapter 1
Here 2 basic things are explained by Gene in order for you to use Perfect Aim correctly, Both seem to have to do with
bridging and stroking the cue correctly. Though this is a quick little step, I found it useful.
My opinion:
I find it to be true and accurate.
length 3:01
chapter 2
Deals with trying to find your dominate eye, And Gene gives several good examples On this , Which really helps to find which
eye is dominate. It is crucial to Know this in order to learn Perfect Aim. Gene says once you learn this then it will be
easier to understand the Perfect Aim system. This also talks about your left eye and right eye and exactly how to use them in
this Perfect Aim system.
My opinion:
Awsome! I never knew all of this.

Chapter 3
In this step Gene goes into detail about the straight in shot and how your eyes come into play when lining this shot up. He
gives exact details as to how to line up for this shot, so that you can continue with Perfect Aim.

Length: 2:44
chapter 4
Deals with short thin cut shots to the left and right , And how you should approach each shot in order for you to know you
are lined up correctly, the way you should be for the Perfect Aim system. This in itself is worth the price of the dvd.You
will learn to cut the ball in the pocket with ease , All it takes is a little practice.. In no time Manny was cutting razor
thin shots into the pocket.
My opinion:
Here I really began to believe in Perfect Aim. What is shown here is amazing, Now we know how to thin slice a ball.
Length: 2:40
chapter5
Similar to the previous step only this time it deals with long thin cuts and how to acheive proper alignment. Gene also goes
into detail about how crucial this alignment is for Perfect Aim, and takes the time to explain why.

Same as above, I thought thinning a long thin cut was over for me, Gene showed me it is`nt.

During this excercise Gene does gives several examples on the different cut shots and how to practice them all, till you get
a good understanding of the various cuts. Genes spends several minutes explaining how to setup drills and do them in order to
accomplish this part of the Perfect Aim system. Gene brings in a laser to help show how it can be used in doing the drills
explained here. Also incuded is one of Genes special parts he added to the video.
My opinion:
I found this excercise to be fun an exciting to do as both Manny an I saw each ball drop into the pocket with ease.
Length: 11:21
chapter 7
Gene gives a little secret, which is a very good example on how to find the part of the object ball to hit.
My opinion:
I like this, good for some beginners and even more advanced players who might just want a little assurance that their aim is
right.
Length: 2:47
chapter 8
Here Gene goes into detail about fractional aiming and how to use angles to figure out the fractions on the object ball to
hit. I personally found this part interesting , But not necessary for me as I found it too difficult, if not time consuming
to do. Use it only in practice, to become proficient at aiming. Which I`m sure is what it is intended for.
My opinion:
As stated above Use it in practice if needed , Mostly for beginners.
Length: 11:05
chapter 9
Gene shows the proper way to shoot while your jacked up either against the rail or another ball while using the Perfect Aim
system.

Length: 3:10
chapter 10
Deals with the straight in shot while against the rail and how Perfect Aim will help you make this difficult shot
consistantly and accurately.
My opinion:
I think this shot will help me in my game as I myself found this shot somewhat difficult from time to time.
Length: 2:43
chapter 11
Here Gene shows how Perfect aim can be used when aiming at a spot rather than an object ball. Such as when aiming for a kick
shot.
My opinion:
I think this piece here is useful, could explain why I was somtimes missing my kicks.
chapter 12
The review:
Here Gene recaps all that he showed in his video, a quick simple review. He explains why and how certain shots will help your
pool game.
Ok! Overall I found Genes video very helpful, As I mentioned earlier I recieved it from Gene in order to teach it to my son
Manny who at age 11, already plays pretty darn good. In watching this Perfect Aim video I found the information unique and
very useful for anyones game. I myself use an aiming system which I taught my son Manny and did`nt think I would use this ,
but upon review of the video I realized I would be crazy not to. In all honesty I found this Perfect Aim system is helping
my son Manny and myself. Manny has steadily improved in areas where he struggled some. And I am not afraid to admit so have
I.
So for those of you still unsure, or are on the fence I strongly suggest you get this Perfect Aim DVD an if possible get
Genes personal lesson. Gene, I find to be a great guy who really wants pool players to learn all they can so their game may
improve and is not just out to make a quick buck.
So please decide for yourself buy getting this Perfect Aim video as I give it a 2 thumps up!
In closing let me say that I will post a few videos of my son Manny playing or in practice from time to time to show how
Perfect Aim is helping him.:smile:
