ha, i agree.
Keeping ones head down can be a big problem and a hard problem to break.
Have some sort of electronic sensor that sends a shock wave to your privates, every time you lift your head.I suspect that if you can invent a device like this, head lifting will be a thing of the past.

okay i'm with you guys on the shoes. make it out of the space-foam stuff. they make beds and pillows out of it and it's supose to be the best stuff in the world or space or whatever. make some of those and i'll be your first customer.
They should be "Herman Munster" Soled Shoes (3 inch lift or more flat soled shoe) so that you can keep one foot on floor and reach further on long shots... They should have turf cleats for shag carpet rooms... and a grounding strip so that you don't build up static electricity...fendertwotwenty said:
Who cares about looking cool as long as your game improves right???
Its a Marketing 120 class... I am pretty sure that this froum would count as one of his resources as long as he cites it correctly... then just add the Blue Book of Pool Cues and an Encylopedia Britannica article on pool and he will have the 3 sources he needs for his Freshman level Marketing class project...Colin Colenso said:

If you want to make a million bucks try to invent a self racking pool table. Something like a pin setter in bowling.
Please remember me if you make the Mil.

Another idea would be a Screamer that went off after Motion was Applied to your Case. Would alert everyone with 100 Miles someone had touch & tried to move your Cue CASE.....

Pool Products - Mktg 101
Not sure which of Bruce's ideas you mean, but...the notion of an anti-theft device sounds very good to me; a beeper sort of thing placed in the butt of the cue, which would sound when you pressed the remote button on your keychain...like the wireless phones do. Simple & Cheap. But good only while the cue is still in the pool hall...
More subtle, and probably more expensive would be a device that emits a silent signal, like Lo-Jack, which cuemakers could embed in the cue. Code numbered of course, so tied to just your cue. If it were long & skinny enough one would actually be of 2 parts (one for shaft & one for butt). This would be for the case where you get ripped off for your band new Predator shaft (like I did). But, hey if you're spending near $1000 or more for a custom cue...

i don't care if this is for a class or for personal gain. I'd like to see/buy:
1. A personal cue tracking device. I want to be able to hunt the cue down without necessarily notifying the police at all.
2. A program for internet phones or just computers that has all of the poolrooms in the state or better, the U.S. There's a link for mapping rooms and getting directions. There's a route- planner for hitting multiple rooms over a course of days, and the route can be modified easily and midroute. There's also an info section for each individual room, saying when tourneys are, entry fees, type of game. (you could really go out of your way and include a photo, number of tables, etc- like the rarely- updated poolhall.com) Even better, you could plan your trip based on the days of the week and tourney dates in the route planner. Also, you could download auto-updates (like acrobat) that would update changed phone numbers and addresses, or tourney times, add special events, and eliminate closed rooms and add new ones. Finally, you'd be able to add your own personal notes to the rooms info page so that you could remember who you played where, when, and how it worked out (i can't remember names and places at all).

I like the shoes idea.
1. Years ago, I had a rubber sleeve for pool cues that would be placed over the wrap on a cue. It worked good on a break cue. I could see a take-off of a product like that with logos or fancy designs.
A lot of people are suckers for improvement gadgets. (just ask golf fanatics).
2. A product to help you not 'jump-up'. It would beep if you stood up too fast.
3. A sleeve or grip for the cue that would tell you where to put your hand on the butt of the cue stick. (I have seen people do this with rubber bands).
