Ordered 12 cue balls, use them for speed control and target drills

Only 34 bucks on eBay. I used them tonight working on a shot, kind of cool, as I could see where each cue ball landed. After getting the hang of it, I used my bullseye target, and did some shots trying to get all the cue balls into the target. Nice training aid for just a little money.
 
Are you saying you shot the same shot around 12 times and then left the CB where it came to rest every time? Then you used another CB? And then after you had finished you checked where the 12 CBs ended up?
 
Yes. It let me know if I shot each shot with the right speed and spin. After shouting all 12, 2 went long, and 2 went short. 8 were in my target. i use them on various shots that I set up with a target. Easy way to practice the same shot 12 times and check your speed control.
 
Lol. I bought the cheaper single dot for 16 for 34. I already don’t like them. Should and probably will buy the good bright white with 6 dots for 64. If the first fewballs hit my target, then the rest can bump into each other, as they would have make it into the target zone if not interruptEd. I really this idea. { if I can spend 1500 on a predator cue, I can spend 64 on the better cue balls)
 
Well, I just checked. I already have at least 7 if not 8 CBs so I dont think I need to buy any more. Might give this plan a try, however.
 
Very important: Make sure they weigh the same as the object balls. Weigh both yourself. Also compare them to the cue ball with your normal playing set in weight and size. Another issue is the outer coating on the balls. Try to see if it's the same as your regular set. These are all factors that can change the way the cb reacts off of an ob.
 
Yes, the cheap balls seem heavy. I use the 6 blue dot bright white cue ball. So I will spend the money and get them.
 
Why not just put a penny where the cue ball stops ?
Use the same cue ball and mark the shot set up with reinforcers for the object ball and cue ball

You're right here bbb. I guess there might be lots of ways to use this principle. Maybe the only advantage of using multiple CBs would be to give a visual of where things have landed.

Funny, I didnt realize I have so many CBs. I have nine (9) of them.
