I saw a product yesterday (I'll get into it more when I have the time - in a bit of a hurry this morn) called the 'AcCueSight' (I believe). It's a little electric gizmo you set on the rail. You hit the cue ball at it and it tells you if you've missed left or right.

I can't find information on it online anywhere. Does anyone sell the product or, ideally, does the maker have a website?
 
OK, seems I have a little more time now. Anyway, it's a black plastic triangle with a little green line in the middle facing the playing surface. If you miss, a yellow arrow lights up and a little beep occurs. Otherwise a green circle lights up. It has three adjustable sensitivities. It uses AAA batteries. I recall the name being "AcCueSight" but I could be wrong. Variations of that spelling have not yielded valid search results either.

I picked one up from Tom Simpson to help me cure (or at least keep in check) some aiming problems I've been having. It looks like a valuable training aid, yet the only thing I can find online is that dumb laser cue.
 
I seen this item at the 2003 Glass City Open...he was set up across from my booth.....there is three settings on it....the tightest setting, meaning how far off center you have hit is really tough to master...a truly useful item to me....

EDIT: I just looked at the link and he added that illuminated target bar....

Yea, what gives? Does this have anything to do with the guy in the Philippines who shot 10 people?

Yeah, I had the name wrong. Thanks to those who've pointed it out. Yes, AcCueShot, not AcCueSight.

Thanks.

I tried his device quite a few times. I saw a lot of pro players tired it and missed. Let me tell you, it is very challenging.

The device was out for test hits along with the Spider at the Pool Expo in Valley Forge during 2005. I gave it a try and found it very challenging at the most sensitive setting. A pretty interesting training aid that provides visual and audio feedback to see if you are on target.
Looking to try it again this year af VF and maybe pick one up.
 
The ultimate challenge would be to try hit that green light with english, and then with xtreme english! How about try to masse and hit the dot right on!

I think our eyes also play trick on us, the point looks a bit different depending on whether you are trying to hit it at an angle or straight on.

I think this could be sold as one of those additive video games just because it is so challenging.:)

You're right about the angles thing, but I'm not sure it's really intended to do that unless you really think about the center of ball, width of ball, rail gutters, etc.

I'll use it for straight on shots and, eventually, straight on shots with english just to see how different shafts react, perhaps.

There is an article on this product and the inventor, in the January issue of Inside Pool Magazine...pp. 44-45, for anyone interested.

I saw it. I'm quickly discovering that I really don't like Inside Pool very much. Or, perhaps better put, that it could be so much better than it is. They seem to have good ideas, and a few of the columns (like Tom Simpson's) are worth their weight in gold (at least, the weight of the page they're on). But the rest... ugh.

I saw it. Sorry for the rant. ;)
