Another Cueball Training Device/Product!!

Did you not read what he said? He flat out trashed it. How do you not understand that? He has not even tried using this aiming aid.
If you're selling a used car online, and I comment and say, "Man, that car sucks, there's better, cheaper cars elsewhere". That's pretty rude of me to say that, right? Especially when I've never even tried your car out. But hey, this is a discussion forum and I can talk shit about your car, right?
We're all here because we like pool, right? I didn't know that it was a requirement to speak up and ignorantly talk trash about something a person is trying to sell.

@El Toro I understand how you are feeling. Emotionally separating yourself from your ideas is a learned skill. Like anything else it is something that you have to practice and get better at over time. I know all too well.

Everybody in the world has great ideas from their own perspective. Ideas are free and valueless, essentially step zero. The very first step of innovation is to make a prototype and validate it yourself (cost and feasibility). You at least did this instead of talking about it, so good. The second step is to make a minimum-viable-product (MVP) and validate it with the public. This is where you are. Your public-validation stage results are telling you that the idea is not worth pursuing with a lot of capital because the response is underwhelming. You need to realize that his is reality and use it to properly place your product into the correct space (low production numbers, stay 3D printed, don't invest in a steel-cut mold, 50 sales per year target, etc).

You can't defend your idea yourself to force validation with the public. It is like trying to fight the laws of nature.

The nice thing about this forum is that you get critical feedback pretty much for free. In the engineering world you usually need to pay for it.
