Senior citizen pool players like somebody I know oftentimes have trouble remembering the most basic things in live pool play, such as "how much time do I have to make the shot?" (slow player syndrome), "am I supposed to shoot striped balls or solid balls? "(color confusion syndrome), or just plain "whose turn is it to shoot now?" (totally lost syndrome).
Given such Alzheimer-like symptoms that will soon descend upon retiring baby boomers, I am looking for a gizmo that resembles what chess players use, i.e., a chess clock. This could be useful even if one is just doing solo practice and want to assume split personalities with separate scores, e.g., an imaginary Django using CTE vs. Efren using ghost ball airming, all in one's head.
Other than the chess clock idea, perhaps a light that blinks blue when John is shooting, then turns yellow when Efren is playing, etc. all by flipping a switch at each turn. The Brazilian steak restaurants in DC have a dumbell - like thingie that is colored red at one end and green at the other end. When green is up, the waiters keep loading you up with all sorts of grilled meat cuts on s skewer until you signal that you are about to burst by flipping the red up. Then, after you're done chewing the last morsel, you flip the green up and the waiters line up the meat servings again, until you call time out, take a dump, or go home.
Any such device exist?
