Possible Future Billiards Technology

[justnum]

Ideas for future tech in billiards:

A pool table that automatically racks balls.

A cue stick that lights up when you are in the zone.

A phone app that lets you analyze if your stroke was straight.

A billiards case with the ability to shape and polish cue tips.

A break cue that can be adjusted for different weights.

What innovations or tech might be developed in the near future for billiard players?

This one's already here - the QMD (www.cue-md.com).

I hope the break cue with adjusting weights comes sooner rather than later. I cant stand being stuck with the same weight break cue permanently!

The your on two button. Its built into a table and you press it.
This way no loud mouths can say your on two with an attitude.

A great feature would be the call ball device,
in case someone hears a different ball get called there is a record of proof.

Also needed is the breakable cue stick for billiard pros.
Any pro with the need to break a cue has it ready for repeat breaking.
Highly encouraged for players that regret missing.

Also needed are blinders to prevent visual distractions. Headsets that block off distracting viewers

last would be the silent headphones, ear phones that block everything else out while at the table

1) No-ferrule carbon nanotube walled shafts that have no taper all the way back to the grip which hardened silicone custom formed to your hand. May or may not have piezoelectrics that can store electrical energy and feed it back in to stiffen up the shaft for a power shot if needed.

2) Composite slate replacement (possibly amorphous metal) with peel-n-stick microfiber cloth that should let anybody recover a table under 20 minutes.

3) Some self-healing type of bioengineered cloth, like a substrate covered with some fungus that builds low friction fibers.

the training stroke sling

A sling used to train your stroke to be straight great for beginners.

I think with the advancement in augmented reality and hi-tech glasses - the ultimate aiming system.

In the year 2525, if man is still alive, you won't recognize the modern pool hall.
First off, they won't be called pool halls. They'll be known as Billiard Arenas.
It'll be a cashless society so you'll simply wave your G&S (goods and services) card in front of a scanner on the wall and a table will come down from an enclosed space in the ceiling and hover over the floor at the precise height. Table size is, of course, optional, and lighting can be changed to whatever tabletop color you desire.
Touch a game selection pad on the head rail and the proper type and number of balls will emerge from a compartment on the foot rail and magnetically rack themselves.
Cues are located on the side of the table with exact replicas of early Balabushka's available.
Should you want an adult beverage you simply wave your hand over the before mentioned scanner and a waitress will appear.
She's a Midget and kind of looks like that little hot chick in that Arnold Schwarzenegger movie about when he was on Mars. Not the one with three breasts, but the blonde.
She'll have a flat spot on the top of her head where you can set your beer, and she'll hold your cigar while you're shooting.
For a small fee (no pun intended) you can take her home, but you have to bring her back the next day. Any damage incurred will be on you.
All I can say is: I hope I live that long. :smile:

No need to wait, Tramp! With the 3D and 4D porn already now available with headsets, you don't even have to take her home...plus it will be impossible to "damage" her! :thumbup:

I'm wanting a light system that can produce layouts w laser spots.

I want to set up a drill and set spots via lasers. Or be able to set lines down. Have a touch screen to put the spots where I want. Save layouts. Maybe a championship runout could be loaded, challenge yourself friends.

Predator's BK3 has weight adjustment.

All I want is a tip that I don't have to chalk.

You guys can keep all of your other contraptions.

Speaking of girls with three breasts. In the year 2525, if man is to survive, there will be women with three breasts available. They'll be used for slow dancing. :grin-square:

The Break Cue with adjustable weigh is already here.

Not only, you can move the weight forward or backwards & you can do the same with or for the shaft... it is totally capable of any balnce point

How do you like them apples....?

If you do, call Guido Orlandi 906-542-7069

Is it legal to modify a cue tip, to have a different material?

Your idea is making me consider a gel like cue tip, for non tournament shots.

A gel like cue tip which allows me to have a longer contact time with the cueball.

I hope the CTE aiming system is available on it.
