Ever see one of these sticks before?

Take your game to the next level folks! Anyone ever see one of these gadgets before? I didn’t know if I should post here, or in for sale, or auctions. I’m not the seller. Lol.

I saw one when on vacation in Cape Cod. The owner of the only pool room within striking distance tried to sell me one for my wife. Laughable!!

It will certainly take your game to the next level.
…..but that level will be down.

At least you won’t jerk the cue back

They were demonstrating those at the BCA show one year. It actually had different levels you could cock it for different power shots. I knew a guy in a wheelchair who actually used one.

I may not pay 150 for this, but it would be a nice collectible and fun thing to play around at the pool hall.

We would have had a blast with that thing at the pool hall I used frequent. There would have been challenge matches galore using it.

A guy that plays at our place has one, really is totally ineffective. Shaft comes out from the cocked position at only one speed.

This might be good for someone testing various cue balls spin draw. etc. It could take the human element out of the stroke.

Only if it provided consistent enough power and I'm guessing that spring tension system isn't the most accurate and repeatable?

 

[book collector]

I know someone who had a couple of them, could not reproduce 2 hits in a row , they are nice conversation pieces.

 

[CocoboloCowboy]

Could be a chicken’s tooth item a collector of Pool memorabilia has to have.

 

[straightline]

Spear fishing maybe.

 

[PickPocket]

Ultimate "sleeper/ hustler" cue.

And too soon.

I saw one of these, or something very similar, in the late 70s. Jerry Briesath used it as a teaching tool to demonstrate to students that inaccuracy in a shot is usually due to stroke inconsistency rather than a bad aim.

cant wait till the 500 dollar model comes out with a carbon fiber shaft. and a space age case to match.

 

[Fatboy]

I saw the spring loaded cue when I was a kid, had to be in the mid 70’s iirc

 

[Lawnboy77]

It can’t be much worse than those Ramin wood cues that doubled as a walking cane. LOL I’m assuming that you could at least use it like a regular cue if you don’t cock the spring.
