There are many different training styles and materials available for someone who is looking to improve their billiards skills. I am going to focus on the best three training systems for better billiards results. The first is the combination of a laser sighted cue stick that projects a bull’s-eye target onto the ball, which has specific markings all over it to illustrate the proper spin and angles to target. Another training device is The Spider. This device is similar in that is uses lasers; the difference is that it uses lasers from the object ball instead of the cue ball. The Spider projects the line for the target, the spot on the target ball, a spot on the cue ball for where to hit it, and a line for where the cue ball will go after contact. This might be my favorite teaching tool. The last tool to consider is the BAT, or Billiard Aim Trainer. The BAT breaks down the aiming process into a simple set of measurements. Using the width of the balls as its reference, this tool breaks the ball into 4 equal vertical slices that represent aiming points for the various shot angles. The BAT doesn’t have any electronic functions, and any skill level can benefit. The simplicity of the BAT is a big bonus. Good Luck!
