It is tough to see someone else copy your product...

Bobs write up on new players....
First....I'd want to teach em about ''balls contacting balls''
It's easy to think Everyone knows this BUT.
I kinda remember that moment, LoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooNG.... Ago.
Makes me smile, when beginning player is unable to make a bridge. :)
But balls hitting other balls and what Occurs after contact.... is ones Foundation.

Well, that product is basically just a high tech set of golf tees. The drill/idea has been around forever. Sure, it's frustrating but it wasn't anything that hasn't been done by students of the game for decades.

Don't get me wrong, it sucks for sure, but a lot of times similar ideas pop up all the time. It may have not been a copy at all.

I used to be super into spudguns as a hobby. It was insane the amount of times I would come up with something out of the blue and start refining it... less than a week later someone else posted pretty much the exact thing. I've had it happen with my ideas and I've done it to other people with similar ideas. It happens quite often and can explain the entire thing without malice.

And sometimes there's malice. Just ask Pooldawg8 about his duds and other people's similar tips.

Given that the device is intended to show the path of the object ball, not the cue ball, I'm sticking with mine... 😁

Still struggling to understand any benefit to the damn thing that can't be had simply by observing where the damn OB goes though...

The appear to work in a similar fashion, with the 'danglies' telling how straight--or not--the ball path is. However, the Aiminator is shown as being used to practice and analyze the path of the cue ball, while the Dead Eye Trainer is being shown as on the path of the object ball. While I see that they could be interchanged for these uses, I think using either on the cue ball path is better--but I really question the use of either, with an exception.

The set up and use of either seem mostly pointless to me, because for the DET, the tool *becomes* the target. As someone else already posted, it offers no more benefit than aiming at the pocket. One thing it might do, is teach a player how to imagine and use an intermediate target--this is like the little arrowheads on a bowling lane. Still, aiming at a target/pocket farther away is (arguably) better than aiming over a closer target on the target line.

With the Aiminator, it's nice that it has the target path aiming arrow on top, but it seems that if someone already knows how to set up the tool, then they don't actually need it. For the "exception" that I mentioned, I think a good use of the tool would be for a coach to use it, to help a novice learn with it, becuase the coach would perform the setup, and the student can then receive the advertised benefits. [Note, one of those benefits is being able to set up the same shot multiple times, which of course can also be achieved with donut labels, but the Aiminator is portable to tables where one might not be allowed to place donuts. And, devil's advocate, maybe an experienced, high skill player may also like this use, although as I already opined, I don't think they would need it.]

It replaces the golf tees (or pocket reducers) in drills that might require those things. So practicing hitting a cue ball (or shooting an object ball) through a 2.75in or 3in gap for instance.
 
Take Poolhenge II Electrica and make the zone, two sensor strips that run for a couple feet. Blue toot to fon. Dun.

Oh yeah, lasers allowed.

Also can use on primary 2 ball part of shot.
