Pool can be a very exciting game, if you know how to play it, that is. However, in order to be really good at it, you must either be naturally talented, which rarely happens, or you have to practice a lot, which is rather difficult if you're not in high school anymore and you don't have a lot of time to waste on such activities. Nevertheless, it seems that there might actually be a solution to improve your skills, namely the laser guided pool cue, from Hammacher Schlemmer, which we have stumbled upon recently.

According to Hammacher Schlemmer, this item is the first laser-guided regulation-sized pool cue. It's nothing much to it, if you think about it, but it can prove very useful on many occasions, such as when you're playing for money with your friends.

All you have to do is activate it and the harmless visible laser provides a precise guide for lining up the perfect shot with pinpoint accuracy. The cue requires three 1.5V batteries in order to work, 6 batteries being included in the package from the very beginning. You don't have to worry that the power will run out in the middle of the game, ruining your winning chances, as the cue features a touch sensor on/off switch, with both manual and automatic shut-off, to preserve battery life.

The set includes a 58-inch two-piece cue with a secure microfiber grip and an aluminum joint and ferrule, in addition to two tip scuffers, two chalks, three replacement leather-tipped ferrules, and a zippered nylon carrying case with shoulder strap and accessory pocket.

It all looks promising and the description has probably already made you feel like you want to play some pool, but that might fade away when you learn that this item can be purchased for about 80 US dollars.
