The Jim Rempe Training Ball is made by Aramith.
How to Use it?
You set this cue ball up, chalk up your stick with blue chalk and hit away. Afterwards, you check the cue ball and see where you're actually hitting the ball versus where you perceived you're hitting. Lather, Rinse, Repeat.
The ball comes with two sides, a beginner and advance.
How do I use this?
Right now I'm using this to troubleshoot my draw shot. Specifically why on a three diamond length shot I can draw the cue ball back to the starting point, but at 4 diamonds I can only draw it back 1 diamond. Even though its only a distance of 14 inches, its driving me crazy. After chalking up and hitting the ball, I realize that the cue ball could be struck alot lower than my current ability allows. :-(
Would I recommend it?
Pros.
After I bought the ball, I had other people come up to tell me I could've saved myself $30 by using a striped ball. It doesn't have the range coverage as the Rempe, and for center ball drill, the Rempe has more precise markings, if you're trying to fine tune your shots.
Cons.
You have to set up the ball on every shot. It cost about $25-$40. I bought this from Joe Nielson's about a year and half ago, as he had the best prices after factoring in shipping and handling.
