There have been a Dozen AZers chosen by Perfect Aim to study and review the Perfect Aim video. Each one of these players has recieved the video and will study it and work at it and share their findings on this thread.

The hardest thing with anything is to learn it from a book or a video. I have learned this with the Perfect Aim video first hand.

The good news is I have come up with one of the most innovative ways to teach Perfect Aim that has made my personal one on one lessons a piece of cake for the student to understand.

This will be kind of an experiment to see how well these 12 AZer's learn this with the new learning technique. Plus it is a way for me to give something back to some AZers firsthand.

Also I would like to say that anyone that has bought the Perfect Aim video can call me and I will share this new method with you.

My goal is to make sure that everyone that wants to learn Perfect Aim understands it, because if they do they love what it does for their game...

Have a great day everyone and I hope we have some fun with this.

Thanks AZers Geno...

Hello all,

For those who don't know already, I am one of the lucky few who get to review Gene's method. You can find my preliminary findings in this thread.

Since I have gotten mixed results with the method so far, the review isn't finished yet, and I'm still working with Gene to see if I misunderstood the information he's trying to convey. Either I'm a bit thick, which is entirely possible since so many people have said that of me in the past, or the method isn't working for me (but again, just for me, it could well work for you), but I'll know for sure in a few days.

In any case, I'd like to express my thanks to Gene for taking the time and expense of letting me review his work. I admire him for letting his method loose on skeptics such as me, and accepting whatever reviews come out of the experience, good or bad. That alone should tell you he really has faith in his method, and it is a big reason why I'm still trying to integrate it into my own game after my initial failure to use it.

Stay tuned for more on the Perfect Aim method, as I finally have time to call Gene and work with the method further.

I'm one of the lucky 12 that was chosen to receive, use, and then review the Perfect Aim system. It's hard for me to rate my current skill level, but I think I can safely dub myself as average/slightly above average if compared to the spectrum of 'more than casual' pool players. I guess it's hard to rate yourself unless you're a stone champion or really horrible

Once I get through the video and exercises, I'll post a review in this thread.

Thanks again Geno

Curious and subscribing to this thread.

First of all, I would like to thank Gene for the opportunity to review his product. I just received the DVD yesterday, and watched a little bit of it, but haven't gotten a chance to get to the table. When I get home tonight I will put the DVD in and try and apply it while I'm at the table. I am one of the lucky ones with a table in the house.

My skill level right now would be average-above average. I can run some racks, but definitely not consistently. I'll try and give an update as much as possible to show how/if this effects my game.

I want to thank you all as a group on AZ and want to tell you all that I will do my best over the next few weeks to help with any questions that you may have.

The new teaching technique that has made my personal lessons so easy to understand during the past 3 weeks is going to be tested by each and everyone of you to see if the same great results can be accomplished with the video and this ground breaking technique.

My goal also is to have each and every one of you playing the best pool of your life a few short weeks.

NICE GOAL.... LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN.

Thanks again, Genomachino......:dance

Gene,

Your delivery on AZ Billiards is primo. It's almost as good as your delivery on the pool table.

I continue to be impressed with your positive contributions to pool.

Pool needs more people like GenoMachino!

For those that don't know Gene, he is a MONSTER on the pool table.

The tips you get talking to him on the phone are worth the price of the video, let alone the tips that he shares right here on the Main Forum.

As this post indicates I am one of the lucky few who have received the Perfect Aim video to try out and see if it would help my game.

Here is a little background first. I have shot in an APA league for the past year and a half. I am an SL 4 so that would indicate I am an average pool player with a ton of room to improve. I have never had a lesson from any coach (certified or non certified) nor have I ever purchased anything related to teaching anything about pool. One day I felt that I had taken my game as far as it could go and I felt I was in need of some help if I was going to get any better. Question was where do I get this help from?? I came to these forums asking for help and what I should do to get better (you can find the posts somewhere I am sure). Some people had recommended picking up this DVD or that DVD, in the past I have tried to learn other things from DVDs (such as learning how to play the guitar, bowling, softball hitting mechanics DVD's etc etc) so when it came to pool I felt how much could I REALLY learn by watching some pro or some guy who was 100x better then I on a DVD make shot after shot. Even with him telling me what to do or what to work on I would learn nothing just like in the past with everything else I tried to learn.

So in pops Gene with the offer to send me Perfect Aim for free to try it out and see if it helps my game out any. He offers to go over everything over the phone and be available anytime I had any questions or concerns. I had heard of Perfect Aim in the past but never wanted to buy it because of the above reasons. So I felt this would be great since I am a blank slate, I have no bias towards one method or another I would give this an honest try and tell everyone what I thought.

I watched the DVD twice and at first it can be overwhelming there is a lot of information. I will say this and put it in bold caps so everyone can see "Perfect AIM IS NOT AN AIMING SYSTEM!!! what I mean by this is that it's not a gimmick or a trick or a complicated system to learn. With out giving too much info away on the dvd in it's simplest of form it takes how your eyes naturally work and shows you how to use that to line up a pool shot. No tricks, no secrets it's that simple. If you have watched the DVD you'll understand, for those who have not, think about every other sport on the planet, someway shape or form you have to adjust your eyes to what your doing. When I played baseball we had to learn how to use our vision to zero in on the ball so we could actually hit the ball to where we wanted to hit it. If you couldn't see what you were swinging at how could you put the ball where you wanted to put it? This DVD will teach you how to get your eyes in the right position so you can line up any shot on the table perfectly giving yourself the BEST chance to make any shot.

Now with that said just because you line up a shot perfectly and have it dead on track aimed DOESN'T mean you'll always make your shot. There are a ton of other factors that go into shot making ability. If your a player who has a very inconsistent stroke no matter how perfect you get a shot lined up your going to miss more then you make. Is that the fault of this DVD? absolutely not! If your a player who has good mechanics but has trouble lining up a shot (or your not always sure if you have a shot lined up correctly) this DVD will help a lot. To use another analogy: I can put a rifle in your hand and teach you how to look through the scope and get your shot lined up perfectly, but if you don't know how to the many other things that go along with shooting a rifle your not going to hit your target many times.

I personally think this DVD can help any level or skill of player if they have an open mind. Having the confidence that you have the ability to get down on a shot and know that you have it 100% lined up perfectly will increase your shot making ability, it also eliminates that unsure feeling when you missed a shot that you didn't have it lined up correctly. I am not going to say if you buy this DVD in 2 days your going to be a pro shooter that would be total BS! You need to practice, practice, practice just like anything in life to get better at it.

So personally since I have watched the DVD and talked with Gene I am much more confident when I get down on a shot. I am hardly hesitant anymore. Think of this: Have you ever stood back seen what you wanted to shoot at then went down to shoot it but once you got down there you had to readjust a few times? maybe shift your body or move the stick a tad left or right so the shot looks good again? Then you shoot and then you miss and then you wonder what happen? I used to do that all the time because the shot never looked right to me and I wasn't confident that what I was aiming was right. Now I every time I get down on a shot I am confident what I am seeing is correct I trust what my eyes are telling my brain and I am making shots much more consistently then before. Do I still miss?? of course I do! but when I miss now I know why I missed and can adjust accordingly my next shot.

In conclusion I feel this is a GREAT DVD to own. I also feel it is just one part to your pool game (the dvd has some other great info in there about knowing how much of a ball to hit on cut shots etc) I am glad I was able to get a copy from Gene for free because I never would have bought this DVD with my previous mindset that I could never learn from a DVD and I would have been worse off for it! I am still going to take some lessons from some certified coach to get my mechanics worked out a bit (stroke, stance, cue ball control) I think the knowledge in Gene's DVD is must see for everyone. Some people will get it right away, others it will take them longer to get it and they'll have to keep working at it, then there will be those who just dismiss it completely because what they do works best for them and always has. There is no right or wrong. If you feel you have trouble lining up a shot this is the DVD you need to see!

Lastly any of the guys who Gene sent the DVD too needs help understanding something or is having trouble with doing something in the DVD and you talked to gene but still need some help or have questions or want to ask me what I've done to get it to work for me, anything just PM me.

Thanks for the chance to review the DVD Gene!

I received my dvd a few days ago, and have had a chance to breifly look it over. But havent really had a chance to study the dvd and put the info into place.

Through talking with Gene, others on AZ, and another instructor that Gene had spoken with I already had a base understanding of what was involved. I jumped at the chance to review the dvd, as I have always felt some questions that I have asked "traditional" instructors and researched through books have never been answered as well as I felt they could or should be.

Ill write a review as soon as Ive had a chance to give the dvd the attention it deserves and worked with the information a bit.

Woody

If you read my post on az then u know I am a believer in Genes Perfect aim,after my conversation and instructed practice on the phone with Gene I completely understood why I was missing the shots I was cutting to the left because of my eyes playing tricks on me.And just to note I didnt just start playing,Ive been a student of the game for over 20yrs and im telling you its good information and he is passionate about it.Thank You for the insight on your discovery Peteypooldude

Learned Something New - Yesterday, 12:34 PM

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was on AZ the other day and stumbled on genomachino of Perfect Aim.I contacted him through pm and he responded with great enthusiasm and promptly sent me a dvd ,which I lost.He followed up with a phonecall and walked me through it.I can tell u if your a right handed player with a dominant right eye the balls you are missing are probably being cut to the left.Take notice if these are the balls your missing,if they are you need to pm geno.I dont know how I made as many of these shots as I have not knowing what my eyes were doing.If this is you missing these balls great, If your not your probably just special .Thank You Gene I appreciate it...Peteypooldude

Who is #12?

I noticed th las t place on your list was left blank. Is it still open?

I would love to volunteer for this project if it is still open.

I will be open minded, honest and thorough. I am always interested in learning new things and am willing to give this one serious consideration.


I have been curious about this dvd from the start, and have seen much on both sides. Would like to know from firsthand experience and not just from things I have heard from someone else.


Thanks,

Jason

I am waiting for it to come in the mail and will give an honest review of it for sure whether it is good or bad. I have been using an aiming method very recently and have saw some positive results using the shaft method, not sure of how this will play into what I am currently using.

Hi there Lenny,

I watched you shoot while I was down there in Phoenix last fall. Your down low on the cue and this enables you to get the eyes real close to this perfect spot.

Your very knowledgeable about the game. Your adjustments will be very minor but the results you get should be huge.

Looking forward to working with you.

Talk to you later geno............
