the racking device that puts all others to shame...

...and provides a tutorial as well. Here it is. Best of all, it comes at a very affordable $1,000,000,000.

All of that money spent and you buy it a friggin Valley table to shoot on? That is just wrong.

no money left :thumbup:

also im sure the accuracy would be diminished on a larger table.

Earl should play it in an exhibition match!

Virtual Pool in real life, neat. Eventually they will make contact lenses or glasses with that program built-in, the only skill one would need is to be able to hit the cue in a straight line.

Was it made in the USA, does it use CTE and can it play on a 10' table? There, that should be enough for 5-6,000 viewes and a few 100 replies.

I wonder what kind of tip it uses?

I remember seeing a video about this a couple years back where the inventor talks about how he had to hack several decent cues in half to make the arm for it and how all his pool player associates were horrified when he told them it was rather humorous.

On a slightly different note having say a issued challenge to pro players to try and beat the machine when its perfected would be a good draw and publicity for pool like Jeremy Fisher versus deep blue was way back in the day.

Or Earl vs Deep Green, or Ken Jennings vs the jeapordy computer

Would be awesome to see man vs machine at Pool. Sadly I don't predict a good outcome for Deep Green against any pro. Similar to Deep Blue v Garry Kasparov, computers lack experience and understanding of plans in positions. But pool is a lot more limited than chess in terms of what the computer could do. A top pro would kill the machine easily.

A great idea all the same, would be a great coaching aid if it worked on a 9ball table!

But I don't thing the computer is gonna flub too many of these:
