Hello AZB ers,

a few ago i received the "Pro-Shot-Glove". I was very excited and finally was now ready to test the glove a bit longer. In my opinion a very nice and helpful trainings-tool.
I m sure many instructors will think the same after working with this great glove.
A great amount of *miscues* or just *misses* are caused by a bad technique. Here s also lateral wrist-movement/excess wrist-movement. Here the Glove is an amazing help- the student feels immediatley a big difference. furthermore imo the glove helps the student to understand also, to just let the cue do *his work*. To just relax the grip, to be able to let your forearm just hanging *vertically* downwards.
Just 2 days ago let the glove wear a guy, who really had terrible problems with his forearm-position and wrist-action (by far one of the worst and funniest movements i ever saw, lol).
After putting him on the glove he of course felt more like * args, terrible* etc. :-) . But after lettin him play some practice shots ( long straight-in shots, where he was instructed to shoot CB with follow), he looked at me like seeing Santa Claus- he made 2 shots dead straight in, and let the cb also follow into the pocket- a shot he usualy is afraid of and missed very often.
Of course he s not a world-champion now- but he know definitley knows, what to fight for and where he/we have to work on.
Satisfying if a guy have already a thx in his eyes ^^


Sure each person is individual-- but i m sure that with the *Pro-Shot-Glove* many people will receive a great help to increase their skills and strenghten their fundamentals/stroke movement.

lg from overseas,

Thanks for the review. I've seen various other mentions of this product here, and it's intrigued me. Adding your recommendation certainly makes it an easy decision.

Now all I gotta do is figure a way around the executive officer of the house. :D I'm quite sure I can arrange that, tho...
 
I would like to add another vote for the pro shot glove. I've had mine for about 6 months. I have problems curling my wrist inward on the final stroke. The Glove has helped me out a great deal. I would agree the glove is hard to get use to. At first my stroke felt fake but that went away fast. Now I can tell when I curl my wrist inward and when I notice it happening I pull out the glove to help reinforce the muscle memory while I concentrate on the rest of the shot routine. I find that I have to play about an hour before I can take it off and trust that my muscle memory will handle the job. Sometimes it takes longer if I've been of the table for a while.

Some of the best my money I've spent on my pool game.

For me it was hard to understand what a straight stroke felt like. I thought I was doing that already. The glove is one of two practice aids that worked for me when it came to actually feeling what a straight stroke felt like and in my opinion you just can't replace that knowledge. You gotta know what it feels like in order to replicate it. I'm still learning how to improve my stroke, but my pool game has improved by a great deal just by finally being able to figure out some things related to my stroke.
