Pool Inventions of the Future

this is for noob pool viewers: the broadcast identifies which ball is next in line, and lights it up briefly. yellow, blue, red etc. so JJ won't have to say the blue two ball.

this function could also be deactivated in the streaming service for us pool nuts

An automated shot clock system built into the lights. It knows which player is at the table, knows when all the balls stopped moving/spinning, counts down on its own, etc. It can project the time onto the table in a few spots.

True shot clocks on every table in a pool room or tournament venue.

I'm sure you could tailor the same VAR system tennis and soccer use, but it requires processing power and a few high resolution/framerate cameras to work. Could even use it to detect fouls.

NASCAR for example has only one rule set for each class but beyond that there are many, many different sanctioning bodies. DIRT, IMCA, USAC, WISSOTA, UMP, ARCA, ASCS, ALL STAR, the list goes on. They all have their own rules. Its no different than pool.

NASCAR, NFL, MLB,NHL, all seem to be doing well. People competing get paid well. PGA is a good model Player clean up playing Golf.

We have all this cool stuff. Magic racks, AI balls, Projector trainers, extensions, bridges, layered tips, LD shafts, laminated butts, Carbon, Uni-locs, tappers, scuffs, etc...

What's next? What cool new Pool invention would you like to see?

I was just thinking it might be cool to see a vibrating chalk holder. So basically, even if your chalking technique is shlt, you could just hold the chalk to the tip and it would vibrate the chalk all over the tip. Kind of like an electric toothbrush!

Well, they are not suppose to vibrate in or on the pocket. My vision is that it holds on or in the pocket and than when you apply your pre-stroke chalk routine you hold down a button to make it vibrate for a second or 2. It doesn't replace proper chalking hand motions. You would still apply chalk as if it didn't vibrate. The vibration is only to help fill in the gaps of inconsistency.

A self-levelling table?

I’m sure this has probably been tried before… presumably to limited success.

They have these on many cruise ships. I have not gotten a chance to try one, but it's on my bucket list.

I got a new idea! How about the worlds first interchangeable design butt?

The idea is kind of like Magna-Tiles. Cue Butts would have removable inlays. Maybe you get tired of looking at abalone inlays and silver rings. Simply swap them out for some Ebony and rose gold rings. For solid color butts or forearms you could have some cast shells in different colors. Sounds way cheaper than collecting 10 different cues of different colors and designs to me.
