Another sighting/dominant eye question

[Byrom]

Get in line with the door,open it smoothly only moving your forearm,accelerate through the open door and don't slow down until you feel the nap of the carpet change.

Now repeat that seven hours a day for thirty years and don't waste my time until you've mastered it you cant

Ha ha - just spat me tea out reading that - very good

[pottr]

I keep ****ing it up... I must be taking my eye off the handle at the last second...

Sorry to drudge up an old topic but I noticed something I haven't paid attention to before during a quick half hour solo practice.

Low on the 3/4 1/2 black from the yellow ball side of the table I seem to semi occasionally miss this shot thick to the far jaw but the same exact shot from the green side of the table I never miss the shot infact I'm 100% sure it will go in the bag every time.

It then made me think that when I pot the yellow into it's on bag on 3/4 1/2 shot I'm 100% comfortable on this shot aswell so again I'm cutting back on the green side of the table. Now reverse it back over to the yellow side of the table I sometimes miss that green thick thick on to the near jaw.

I'm left handed but right eye dominant and I keep the cue under my chin, I approach the table with the boxer stance but I think I've just found out that on both these or similar shots my brain's pulling the cue across the shot.

Should I be sighting under my right eye? Or at the very least tilting the head as i walk in the shot to correct these shots I don't always miss them would say its small percentage like 10-15% miss rate on easy shots but I never miss the same shot from the other side of the table will like hardly ever that I would be aware of it obviously I probably have missed it from time to times but i just mean i'm hugely confident that shot is going centre bag same shots opposite side i seem to jaw them thick.

Am I correct in finding a weakness in my sighting that should be corrected?

Thanks

is it the seeing rather than the standing

Just a quick question and observation.

I't been confirmed I am long sighted and need glasses.

Interestingly, when I stand much further to my left of the shot rather than to the right with my right foot on line, I pot a lot more balls (this is without glasses at mo). I am right eye dominant also.

I wonder if it will make a difference when I collect my glasses at the end of this week.

Looking forward to getting back on table and seeing adjustments!

Anyone else tried adjusting their position and not just following the textbook right foot on line position?
