It is made of plastic, and IMHO it is NOT good for your shaft. If your shaft is thick, 13mm or so, you will have to snap it on. The plastic actually has to be bent if you can imagine this!, and my shafts were 12 and 12.5 mm. If you imagine that I had to snap it on with those thin shafts then you can et. And while it is bending, it is definitely digging into your shaft. If you like the sound of finger nails coming down a blackboard, DM, the way you take of your cues, you will not be getting this product.
I am not trying to knock Joe's product. I would rather pay more for something like the 'bat-wing' bridge that slips onto the end of your cue - it is made of rubber around the slippage area.
My DVD on my laptop has a corrupt driver, so I couldn't watch the DVD. One day I will manage to watch it, but for now I am not putting that thing back on any of my cues. So with this in mind, I apologize for not being aware of any of Joe's guarantees.

For someone not trying to bad mouth a product I don't think you're doing a very good job. We went thru this before and I offered free replacements to anyone. Now do you want a replacement or do you just want to keep not bad mouthing the product?
Besides this your shaft stories don't seem to match up, first they were too loose "imagine that" and then you had to snap it over them thin shaft?
This was our last discussion.

It didn't do squat for me, or at least every time the sides of the device never touched my cue ball. My stroke was already straight, as another poster said.
One other thing, it didn't fit my 12.5mm shaft. Just slid right off. It barely fit onto my 12.75 shaft, but slid forward due to my powerful sroke .
I think one would be better off buying something with quality, such as the 'batman' bridge, and rigging two pieces coming out and forward.

You have some legitimate complaints there so let me tell you what you can do about it.
First off when you do get a chance to watch the DVD you’ll see that I offer free replacements to anyone that breaks theirs. That material was very brittle and is why I have now switched to a better plastic material which is much softer and more flexible. The 3rd Eye Stroke Trainer will now fit onto ferrules of 11mm-14mm without a problem and anybody that has already purchased one and would like to exchange or replace theirs can do so by sending me the old one; Joe Tucker, PO Box 7252, Warwick RI 02886
As for the not doing squat issue;
I think if you do watch the video not only will you gain some knowledge, find a use for the 3rd Eye in your own game but you’ll most likely be able to help some other players out also, if you’re the sharing kind.
Sorry for your bad experience, it’s not the first one that broke but you are definitely the first to talk so negatively about it.
Good luck rigging up the Bat Bridge.
