Pool guide aiming and teaching device CLICK TO VIEW PICTURE
A device to enable a pool player to pre-determine the direction to drive a cue ball in order to
contact an object ball and drive the object ball in a pocket of a pool table. A plurality of
mirrors are vertically disposed about a flat surface, and a combined cue ball direction and
location magnetized simulation device is positionable on and viewable from anywhere on
the flat surface. By observing the reflections of the simulation device in the mirrors from the
desired pocket or position, a pool player is able to determine the proper direction to strike
the cue ball with the cue stick.

Pocket billiard training ball and method of teaching sighting when playing pocket
billiards CLICK TO VIEW PICTURE
A training object ball for use in teaching billiard players to sight an object ball by the
method known as "sighting by object ball displacement". The training ball is segmented at
30.degree. intervals to yield twelve legended segments which facilitate lining up one edge of
a cue ball with the edge of the area of the training ball displaced by the cue ball. The method
of training players to sight by object ball displacement includes the step of orienting the
training ball so that an imaginary line extending from the center of the ball and through the
boundary of two adjoining segments bisects the pocket to be made. An edge of the cue ball
is lined up with a properly oriented segment boundary which corresponds to the edge of
the area of the training ball that is displaced by the cue ball. Instructions for lining up a
segment boundary which corresponds to the edge of the displaced area of the object ball
with an edge of the cue ball is also disclosed. In the preferred embodiment of the invention,
the training ball is segmented to enable the shooter to determine the correct contact point
and also hit that contact point by "object ball displacement" sighting. The training ball of
the present invention, however, can be employed to great advantage simply to determine
the proper contact point and the shooter can, if he wishes, aim the cue ball directly at that
contact point. Thus, for its broadest application the training ball need only be legended or
marked sufficiently to enable the shooter to determine the correct contact point. Thus, the
training ball need only include a visible line, arrow, or ring about any circumference or be
colored to divide the training ball into two contrasting hemispheres.
