Training Aids - 3D printed

When I'm not at the pooltable I'm usually at my computer drawing 3D stuff to be printed.
And of course, also some thingies for the pool hobby.

First is a gate for precision aiming.
I made it 2"3/8 wide and upside down 2"1/2
With the middle marking you can align with the headstring and see ik you can play straight with no english

Along the length of the table you can align with the diamonds for real precision aiming.
For a beginner I place it standing up against the cushion and just ask to not hit it ... alot of players already were in shock of the level of difficulty.
When shooting, freeze after hitting the cueball and see if the rebound comes straight back to your tip ...

I've got a nice 10 second video of my pupil practicing but don't know how to get a MP4 video file on this thread.

Second goodie comes later.

2026 WPBA SOARING EAGLE MASTERS

Tzu-Chien took it down at 10-7. Fefilova-Styer made a few errors midway through but was making a comeback and shooting well then scratched on the break with the balls spread out. Overall it was pretty good match.
It was a good match, and Wei deserves a lot of credit for coming back from 2-5 down and blitzing off the next many racks (at least 6 in a row, right?). She was very composed.

Look at his first shot.

OK, I think that a lot of us would have a break and run in ONE day if we are actually breaking and trying to run out, over and over, and only have to do it one time.

But if the goal, as I assume it is, is to say, "I will break and run THIS RACK, and this is my ONLY attempt today," then it could take quite a while (or it randomly could still be done in a day or two).

QUESTION:

ChatGPT (for what that is worth) tells me that a 600 Fargo could break and run 5-10% of the time on a 9-foot table.

For a small wager, would you bet a 600 Fargo would need 10 days or less, or 11 days or more to break and run, when they only have ONE chance per day, and the rack is identified in advance. It CANNOT be ten racks in a row on one day. It must be ONE rack/attempt per day.

I would bet the over. 11 days or more.
