Anybody tried it? I plunked down my money and am sorely disappointed. The instructions are virtually incomprehensible, and the whole point seems silly anyway. After taking a shot, you examine the cue ball to find your chalk mark, hoping to find it where you intended to hit it (high left, center, etc.).

Seems to me you can tell by watching the cue ball whether it performed as you expected or not. Am I missing something? I may sell it soon cheap on the trading board, in case anyone's interested.
 
to be honest hitting the ball where you intend to ... is the big jump you need to get past the C/D level and into the A/B level...

there are natural players who will figure out a way to run an occasional rack... who almost never hit the ball where they think they do... sometimes they get close ... those players have a very loose definition of cueball control


there is a huge difference between put the cueball "over" there, and

put the cueball "RIGHT THERE"

half of "RIGHT THERE" is speed control

the other half is spin control...

spin control comes down to millimeters...


the Rempe ball doesn't tell you where you need to go.....

but it will tell you where you are...

and that is some handy INFO to have...

I was told that his CB has a special coating on it that makes the chalk adhere to it better than a standard CB. Also if you leave the chalk on it without wiping off it will also leave a stain.

This CB will show you if you are really hitting the CB where you intended to. If it doesn't react as you expected it and it was hit in the right spot than you need to improve your stroke.

It is just a training tool to help prove that you are hitting the CB where you intended.
 
If & when you want to rid yourself of this cue ball, please send me an email, I use them all the time at tournaments.

The REMPE CUE BALL is a good training aid for the "scientist type", the player looking for info that is usable, day after day, this table or that.

Methodical Learning has it's rewards & it's pitfalls
 
Its a good training tool to determine if you're striking where you were cueing. I was surprise when I saw the chalk mark just below center while i was aiming at 'low' the whole time. It says alot about your stroke don't it?
 
Practice breaking with it. You may be suprised where the chalk mark is.

I'll give it a second look

OK gang, thanks for the responses. Looks like I need to spend some more time with this thing before dismissing it.
