It's a good training tool to learn to keep your cue I'm a good balanced position but that's about it

whatever how good this cue, i still stick with classic.

I've also seen this same idea employed in a double-hinged golf club, with the same incentive of training you to swing the club on an exact plane, and any stray from it results in the the cue wobbling all over the place. I saw a guy with one at the driving range and it was quite funny to see how dramatically it bent, reminded me of the croquet game in Alice in Wonderland haha

Two very interesting design's the Gravity Cue and the 360 Pure Cue, anything that can help improve your cue action plus the body and mind to combine as one can only be a good thing for up and coming snooker pool players. Keep up the good work Neil snooker coach Jimmy Gild Hall.

I wish the cue came with a bit more instruction because its very frustrating to figure out why the cue is flexing on ones own. You feel it flex for just a second then the shots over, often with the ball still being pocketed. I realize if you shot thousands and thousands of shots your body would probably adjust but the fact is most players without access to a coach will get frustrated with the cue and give up when not about to screw the ball. If just a bit of guidance was given perhaps by video.

@phdgraffiti You sound like you are at a stage with the 360 were the less obvious flaws are more difficult to detect when practising by yourself. As you have already guessed it's all about practice from herein whereby you allow the subconscious side of your mind to find a way to further improve your fine motor skills. Their will be a shots challenge download in the near future designed to help you get even more from this device. Cheers, Neil.

Its a fantastic invention and it works well. I have owned and practiced with one for about a year and a half. I just feel that this video is a bit misleading because I don't think the cue makes you instantly aware of whats needs fixing as claimed. I'm a fairly experienced player of pool and snooker and when I use the 360 I can feel it flexing a little bit when I'm playing shots medium speed+. The problem is you don't loose total control of the shot as claimed and its hard to tell whats wrong.

Hi. Thanks for the kind comments. Loss of control (or not) is obviously dependent on how well a particular shot is cued and the level of difficulty for that shot. If you are now capable of playing power shots with say screw or top spin you're doing well.
