Looking and shooting into a light source is an absolutely horrible idea.

I'll second that. If I leave the garage door open at my dad's when I shoot there, and I have to look toward the sun while I shoot, it's a NIGHTMARE. I can't even imagine what it would be like having the light concentrated and pointing straight back at me like on this table.
leave it to the brits to ruin a pool table.
they should stick to snooker

Not necessarily, it's LED lighting ...kind of like looking at the lights on your computer. But you're right it's not a good idea. Without additional overhead lighting you'd go blind trying to see in the dark areas.
<me blind! lol Guess this invention gets a FAIL.

My new light rig for filming pool is LED. It's the equivalent of 1000w. Try looking into that while playing.
The title of this thread should be changed to: Leave it to the Brits - Reminding Us Why We Buy American Made Products
Just had a thought. Would this product lend itself to the aiming system talked about in the following thread???.......http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=199008
I think this thing would need a whole other system invented plus you might need to wear eye protection if you get down low on the shot.
The overhead light reflection aiming works fairly well on a good accurate setup but that does require some kind of overhead lighting. I think this thing seems kinda gimmicky. Some English products are great but I don't think this is one of them especially if you're a serious shooter. I like that the balls I shoot disappear into darkness when pocketed. On this table it's like all made shots get to go to heaven. At least this line could be used in a game against your opponent, " stay away from the light!".
It's terrible, as it is, just like that glass pool table I have seen.
However it's an interesting concept that maybe in a few years and with a bit more thought and development could progress intio something. I'm not sure what it might develop into though! Lets face it Billiard and Snooker Tables haven't really come all that far in 100 years, someone was bound to do something stupid to them soon.
Oh dam* did it have to be British? As an EX Brit I am totally ashamed and can only say in their defence, it's not as bad as the one at the link below, at least it kinda looks like a Pool Table :sorry:
