Best training aid ever!

It sounds like a weird idea, but it's the most amazing training aid I've ever used. Unlike most coaching methods, this appears to have no side-effects either. For anyone interested in improving their game, getting hold of one of these should be high on your list of priorities. Edited by rip on 06-03-2010 14:43

Nic knows the guy who makes them & I've asked if he could get me one. Nic believes that demand is greater than supply at the moment.

Snooker clubs are dimly lit anyway. Nic disagreed feeling that the black butt was easy enough to see, although I was wearing a red top. For observing others I would expect a brightly-coloured butt would be better. As the web site suggests, it is a good self-training tool too, so if you just want it to practice yourself, a black butt would be fine.
