Actually once the cueball stops moving I shift my focus to the object ball and the line of the next shot. I confirm my tip placement by just flicking my eyes down to the cue-ball a few times, but from the time Whitey stops moving until I hit the next shot my focus is on the object ball.

On break shots I do just the opposite - I look mainly at the cue-ball and just flick my eyes up to the rack to verify my alignment. On the actual break stroke I'm staring a hole in the cue-ball. I need to do this on the break because otherwise I have a hard time hitting the cue-ball correctly on such a hard stroke.
