How to Share a SIGHTRIGHT Practice Log with a Remote Coach

Begin with one question the video can answer

“My aim feels wrong” is too broad for a short remote review. A better question is whether the standing start changes across five entries, whether the player completes a full reset, or whether a familiar pause produces a more repeatable walk-in. Keep aim selection, cue delivery and ball result as separate questions.

Write down the cue-sports discipline, table type, cue configuration and any current coaching instruction. Tell the coach whether the block is a new baseline or a follow-up to earlier feedback. If a physical limitation or injury guidance affects the setup, mention it as context without asking SIGHTRIGHT to assess it.

Choose the line before placing the trainer. SIGHTRIGHT provides a visible reference along that selected direction; it does not calculate a potting angle, diagnose a cause or prove that a shot will be made.

Record a reproducible five-entry baseline

Use a short straight or nearly straight direction with enough floor and table space for a normal approach. Position the trainer once, check that the bridge hand, cue, clothing and any moving ball cannot touch it, then leave it stable throughout the no-hit block.

1. Show the layout.Take one still image that includes the balls, trainer and useful table references.
2. Start fully upright.Use the normal standing view and entry rather than arranging the body while already down.
3. Pause at address.Record left, centred, right or unclear before feathering near the device.
4. Add comfort notes.Include balance, bridge stability, shoulder freedom and cue clearance.
5. Reset completely.Stand away and begin a fresh walk-in for all five entries.

Do not correct between attempts. The coach needs to see the current process, not five different experiments. The full-reset guide explains why a half-rise can preserve the previous pose, while the practice-log guide provides a compact way to record the sequence.

Film short, stable clips from agreed angles

Ask the coach which views are useful before recording. A rear view can show the standing start and approach when the camera is safely positioned away from the player. A side view can add context for lowering, bridge placement and cue clearance. Perspective changes between cameras, so neither view should be treated as a precise body measurement.

Fix the camera height, zoom and position for the entire block. Include the player from the standing start through address, and keep the feet, cue and relevant table area visible where possible. Do not handhold the phone around the player or place it where it could interfere with another table.

Record the five-entry block as a continuous clip rather than sending only the attempts that look best. Afterward, remove and store SIGHTRIGHT, then film three ordinary shots as a separate transfer clip. The SIGHTRIGHT phone-video guide covers repeatable camera context in more detail.

Send context that prevents guesswork

Name the files plainly: “rear baseline,” “side baseline” and “normal transfer.” In the message, include the date, venue, lighting, footwear, layout, cue configuration, five labels and the one question. Separate observations from sensations: “attempt four looked right; the bridge felt less stable” is more useful than “my stance is wrong.”

A concise package saves the coach from inferring which attempt used which cue or condition. If the trainer or a ball moved, state that clearly and restart the block rather than hiding the interruption.

Apply feedback as one controlled comparison

When the coach replies, confirm the one change to test. Recreate the baseline, run a short comparison and return to baseline in an A–B–A order. Keep the line, trainer position and other variables stable. A “no useful difference” result is still information.

Stop the comparison if it causes pain, visual discomfort, loss of balance or restricted cue movement. Remove SIGHTRIGHT before every strike and do not return to it after each miss. Shot selection, tip contact, delivery, speed and table conditions all affect the ball.

For a broader coach-player workflow, see the cue-sports coaching session guide. Remote review has extra limits because the coach cannot inspect the room, equipment or player directly, so the report should stay descriptive and conservative.

Protect privacy and keep the conclusion narrow

Follow venue rules and obtain consent from anyone who may be visible or audible. Avoid filming other tables, score sheets, screens or private conversations. Agree with the coach on how files will be sent, stored and deleted; share only the material needed for the question.

SIGHTRIGHT cannot guarantee accuracy or diagnose why a player misses. It is not a medical or vision-correction device and does not test eyesight. Persistent visual symptoms, pain, dizziness, headache or other health concerns require suitable professional advice, not a coaching clip.
