Maybe it will need a thread of it's own, but if somebody who does have one could give me some feedback on how it works, that would be great.
For example, there are different techniques for certain situations - things like the Fouette shot (spelling?) where you hit the cue out of the way when two balls are dead close to each other. Also the twist shot which I've been taught when using LD shafts, and there are probably many others.
It must be very well developed or the cue is created for use on basic fundamentals, and not designed for probably the same purpose as the snooker version where the technique is visually a lot more simple.

I'm guessing it just teaches you to cue straight rather than play masse shots etc.
I was tempted to choose the snooker one, for that reason (the basic snooker cueing stroke is pretty uniform, as opposed to the variety in US pool) but then figured that if I'm going to be playing a lot more US pool, which I am, then it would make sense to go with that one. Hope I'm right.
Anyway, I'll give some feedback when I have had a go. Would also be useful to see a youtube clip or something of the US pool edition, if there is one (Dave?).

My answer has to be F - all of the above and more.... all of us, no matter how good, need to make everything we do muscle memory, but if we train the wrong way, we just compound bad stroke - any help is a good thing

Welcome to Pro9 Daytona355 - this competition has now finished, but I think you are spot on with your comments - watch out for another one coming soon! [ This message was edited by: BigDave on 2010-12-22 12:59 ]

OJD - we'll have this beauty on it's way to you asap so you can make your own assessment. Hopefully it won't be too delayed by the inevitable Xmas/snow backlog. Thanks to everyone for playing, and congratulations to OJD again!

Thanks Dave - and no worries about delivery, I'm not back in the country until 2nd January anyway, so it'll have to wait until the new year to get a runout anyway.
