Take a remote controlled helicopter, get that extension thing on him so he can hover over the table and enable you any fucking shot that you like.

Pool will soon start to look like golf.

Ronnie O' Sullivan and a 18 year old Asian kid that will hold a bag of cues for him.

"This one is for distance of 37.52cm and this one is for 43.87cm distance BUT if it's raining outside, doesn't matter that we are indoors you can take this one, it's called >the dry stick<. I'll start the chopper Ronnie."

[bmcc123]

[jdaler]

Brilliant idea!!!

[mertz123]

also, doesn't this defeat the object of "hampering" your opponent? to a certain extent?

[mertz123]

i would show hazel my "bit of kit"

[f41sal2828]

THEY ALREADY HAVE 1 OF THESE!!!!!! ITS CALLED A SWAN!!!!

[andos8888]

Davis is such a geek

[jiggawoo]

steve used one of these gadgets to extend the spider on the last world championship, shame he missed the shot with....

[Simpson654]

These kind of rest looks to be useful, but can you use these kinds of rests at competition level? I think I've seen some rests that aren't the basic type used on pro snooker... but if they're not allowed in amateur or pro competition, that makes the whole point moot, as using it detracts from the game...

[Henry1993bc]

all he needs now is a noob tube

[SwampyQ2]

they look like del and rod from 'only fools and horses'.

[jpjames1]

hazel is sexy

[BlockyAppReviews]

[naynkie123]

that would be cool

[JDFromSac]

its called a bitch stick!!!

[2MCHNV]

y because u make it does wat u want and it doesnt talk back hahaha

[timen1986]

there goes some of the skills you need to be able to pwn at snooker

[timen1986]

read before you speak. that is the same thing i wrote down

[Andyman3k]

It's often impossible to make a legal shot (at least one foot on the ground) in snooker, because the table is so massive (12 feet long). Therefore, a rest is vital in order to make a legal shot. Sometimes the player even needs to extend the cue by over a foot, in order to reach the cue ball.

[yuna238]

@Andyman3k

but big tables are a standard.

[aznelf13]

try saying that to ronnie and stephen's face mate

[SwissChi]

most people, would consider this illegal

[blekica2510]

omg, nice one and also true mate! cheers

[Lezremed]

I think that that idea sort of takes away the concept of bridge play; when you have a bridge that can nearly any shot with the same accuracy as a human hand, you don't develop the skills necessary to use a fixed-head rest or spider to pot a ball. Using fixed-head bridge to pot balls is a lot more difficult because you don't have the same freedom, but its a skill that you should learn because most places don't use this technology.

I like the idea, but I'm not so sure it's good for the technique.

[pcg90]

cool thing

[michelvanhoudt]

I don't know about this one,it makes an impossible shot slightly easier,but most players won't take those shots on anyway so they won't use it.I think it would be handy for pool though.

[ZoMyGodd]

How would it be handy for pool lol the table is far soo small for its use to ever be necessary.

[japasetelagoas]

This is for noobs

[richboy900]

@japasetelagoas Yer thats a n00b weapon lol

[liarobe]

@richboy900 weapon? 

[Im4EverAaron]

i like that! alot!

[tsubasa211]

has it ever been used in pro tournaments?

[GMC79]

not yet (that i have seen)

[ridgeracerfans]

i think i have been once, but i was very young at that moment

[thesnookerplanet]

i've seen this rest used in pool tournaments

[Craze21AD]

bought one of these from Craftsmans cues

[OldSchool92NS]

Man this is smart!!

[kopfanIRL]

Great idea

[farhannius]

thats pretty amzing

[tesla34]

they used it during 9 ball tournament,cool,someone even used it,in conjunction with a jump cue!wt about that?:)

[busel004]

super! who has made it? davis? congrats!

[ticthach]

That device is genius. Though it'd be cheating if you ever use it in a real professional game.

[millerest86]

why would it be cheating? you could say using a normal rest is cheating

[redsoil5]

because every cue and rest is being approve by the governing body of the tournament like the IPT(international pool tour). if the IPT approves it then they could use this kind of rest.

[makpak]

it wouldnt be cheating if it were to be used in a pro match, however it will be kinda gay because it opens up lots of oppertunities. watching snooker is great and then when players get ut of sticky situatiions its eeven great and amazing, and shows that the player has skill and talent.

[imy147]

wot a great team! hazel nugget and jp!

[romeorock]

Whoa nice! I'd like to get my hands on that stick!
