Hi , my problem reloaded !

i can't pot a straight shot !

i don't know my cue is not straight or i see the wrong angel ( not 0') .

when i stand for a straight shot , my lef eye is on a balls exactly and i'm left handed but

when i want delivery the cue i find my right eye on the cue !!!!

I have the same problem!
my dominant eye is the right eye, and I put my cue under it. everytime I do shots,for somehow reason, my left eye is on the object balls but my right eye's on the cue!!! cant pot a straight shot.
can someone tell me what to do ? getting really frustrated!

I know I have a dominant right eye, but I cue in the middle.
I pay a lot of attention to keeping the angle of my head and its postion in relation to my cue constant when I am playing. I think that is very important.
When you are down on a shot, you can try to shift your head a bit to the right or left and you will see the angle being very different right away. Likewise, if you rotate your head a bit while sight, you will notice the angle changes quite a bit. This means even if you step into the correct line, when you do not keep this angle and head position constant, you will cross the ball.
If the shot looks right to you as you approach it, but then looks funny once you are down, it may be because you have changed this angle due to awkward bridging, a change of your balance, or whatever.
I like what Joe Davis said about "getting in the groove"--when you have the cue running down the same line all the time in relation to your chin and your body, your head will most likely be at the same angle to the cue.
I can shoot the ball up the blue spot and back in a straight line quite consistently. I can do it with the cue ball hitting two or three cushions. So, even I know I am right eye dominant, I do not worry too much about putting my cue under my right eye.
This is my opinion.
