example

[0020] A training device for pool players is provided having a central elongated opaque and rigid panel structure formed by two parallel mating members, with one member having an elongated slot extending longitudinally 50-75% of the length of the member. A leg bracket is adjustably attached to the outer end of each mating member. The two members are clamped together in a parallel mating arrangement by utilizing a threaded bolt and wing nut extending through the elongated slot, so that the overall length of the training device is made adjustable. The training device can be placed extending transversely across the width of a pool table with the support legs resting on the table side rails, and the central panel structure lower edge being located above the pool table playing surface by a height of 3-4 inches sufficient for a ball to pass through. Other suitable dimensions for the training device include:

1 Overall length, in. 48-56 Overall height, in. 10-12 Panel member thickness, in. 0...

Abstract

A training device arranged for advantageous practice use by pool players for improving their playing skills. The device includes a central elongated narrow panel structure having adjustable overall length, and has a support leg adjustably attached at each end of the panel structure. The device can be positioned transversely on a pool table with each leg resting on a side rail of the table. In this position, a view by a player of only the cue ball and a selected object ball is possible, and an undesired view of the selected pocket is temporarily prevented while the player takes a shot. A combined training system and method steps useful for improving skills of a pool player are also disclosed.

Description

[0001] This invention relates to a portable training device arranged for being conveniently and removably mounted on the side rails of a pool table and is useful for improving the skills of pool players. The invention also includes a training system and method steps for utilizing the training device for assisting players to improve their skills at playing pool.[0002] When playing pool, the skill of a player in successfully hitting a cue ball with a longitudinally moving cue stick so that the cue ball strikes an object ball and propels it into a designated pocket of the pool table is a matter of good eye / hand coordination and skill for the player. The essential element in successfully executing such a pool shot requires the player selecting the intended pocket of the pool table and then striking the cue ball with the cue stick end and so as to propel the object ball into the selected pocket. However, most players when playing pool make the mistake of taking their eye off the object b...
