Now some details. First, I am not the one who invented it or the one trying to sell anything. So far my only intention is to introduce an interesting (though controversial in some areas) invention and see what everyone thinks of it.
The appliance connects to a mobile device (iOS/Android) and measures speed of every stroke made. Also this training device keeps track of every improper hit (basically miscue on every hit other than cue ball center since the cue tip must remain unchalked). Various interchangeable cue balls can be used: for pool, snooker and pyramid. Also the device has some built-in means of follow-through control.
According to the device creator it is intended to help develop speed and power of one's stroke which (supposedly) connects to better of cue ball control (speed and hit point). By the way it will go under H-I-B-S acronym which stands for "higlhly-intensive-billiard-simulator". It should be mostly used away from pool table (though can be used at a pool hall too) in order to support stroking muscles and develop them. Creating muscle memory, etc.
One of the benefits, again according to the inventor, is that with h-i-b-s a player makes more strokes per minute or per hour than on a pool table.
Presumably, h-i-b-s allows to practice pool stroke at every place even away from the table, keep track of practice efficiency based on statistics (max stroke speed, average speed per session, number of missed hit points). Also lets save money on table time (if used for similar stroking practice tasks I guess).
The guy claims he has no intention to make money but rather come up with an idea which hasn't been applied to cue sports so far. I expect to get more details and hopefully a video of it in use in a month or so.
(here he seemingly practices break shot)
