The new 'Holy Grail' of aiming.................

Looks like a good practice tool. But looks can be deceiving. I've rigged up a laser very similar to this, and it's not as cool and easy or straightforward as advertised. The slightest cue movement dances the laser beam all over the place.
Such a laser is good to help you actually see the line of aim, as long as you're holding the cue completely still, and, of course, as long as you're on the correct line of aim for the shot. Lol.
The website is a bit misleading the way they say a player can become a pro in no time simply by using the laser, as if being able to see where you're aiming is the magical gateway to professional pool.
The laser shows you where your cue is aligned, but it doesn't provide the actual aim line unless you're using that little template on every shot. But I'd say using that template and shooting a few shots with it everyday, over and over, and paying attention to where the aim line is for those shots, would help a player improve their aiming skills quicker than traditional trial and error aiming methods. However, results depend entirely on the players stroke, the delivery of the cue. Seeing and knowing where to aim is great, but the main skill that needs to be developed is delivering the cue consistently.

This sure does explain a lot about the anger you have when posting
Damn, if only it weren’t for snooker.
I could sure use that playing pool!
Dude, its a joke. As in being 'facetious'.
You mean this thread is a facetious joke. I figured that. But since the laser product you referenced is real, I thought I would say something real about it.
It doesn't matter if you intended for this thread to be a joke, because there actually might be some players who could benefit from the product link you provided. Similar laser "aiming" devices have been around a while. I think Jeanette Lee even had a certain laser product for developing aiming skills. But hers was twice as expensive as this one.
Is this laser device the new "Holy Grail" of aiming? Of course not. And I thought it was a funny thread title, so your joke did at least bring a smile to my face.
The ad is misleading because it makes you think you will see an actual laser line through space to the ball. Of course you will only see a spot or short line on the ob. A gadget like the one mentioned by the arachnid will show a complete line, allowing you to check your alignment.
All it takes is a slightly different lens on the laser to get a vertical line, like the Laser Shark from the 1990s.
Will it help with my 1p break?
you "could" use a laser for several stuff in giving instructions- problem is the laser itself- there is no laser, which could not hurt your eyes. i searched a long time for sth like that- or a similar thing. unfortunatley nothing, wjhich would not be too dangerous.
the "ad" itself- well. don think that would really help. Think this eye sight trainer laser from Joe Tucker was sth useful.

I would like to buy a laser for lining up straight in shots. It would also be nice if the laser could extend off the table onto the floor so that I could place a long piece of tape on the floor exactly on the shot line. Can anyone recommend a laser for that?
