Aramith Jim Rempe Training Cue Ball 2-1/4" Regulation Size Billiard Pool Ball with Instruction Manual Learn to Play Better

You never really know where you're striking the cue ball. Well, at least I didn't until I made this purchase. Since chalk transfers easily on to this cue ball you get instant feedback. I instantly know where I struck the ball after the hit. My first lesson was that I'm not hitting my draw shot no where near as low as I thought I was. Which taught my why my draw isn't as effective as it should be. This doesn't just work with draw but center ball hits and more importantly English. Ridiculously priced but much cheaper than an actual instructor.

Good training device

Does what it does should

The instructional book shows where to hit the cue ball to control where the cue ball will end up. It does not show where to hit the cue ball to get a desired shot. It's purpose is after the hit, not before.

The only downfall to this was that the booklet that came with it really wasn't very helpful except in the very beginning. Once I actually figured out where I wanted to hit the ball AND where I wanted the ball to go after, I simply had to use YouTube videos which worked fine. Other than the booklet, the areas you aim on the ball are clearly written and one real bonus is that the spot you shot really holds chalk nicely so you can take the ball right back to the same spot on the table, shoot again and she what happens when you change the the smallest amount of angle. My game improved by 20% simply by just doing the same shot over again and adjusting a little each time, and being able to see where I hit the ball each time was all good!!! If you are new, it's the ideal thing to have!!

Finally - this is exactly what I ordered! Aramith balls come packaged from the factory with description, instructions and with a booklet to learn how to use their various training cue balls.This one - did not despoilment! It was delivered - right on time, original packaging and YES - it's White! The color, weight and texture feels rich and all Pro. I just received it and played with it through my lunch hour.... I couldn't be happier with it's performance More importantly, though, I received exactly what i paid for. I don't mind paying 40.00 for a great cue ball. I would recommend this Aramith Jim Rempe Training Cue Ball to friends and family. Well worth it! As you may already know, Aramith is a Top manufacture of pool products, so but from reputable sellers. Again - I love this cue ball!

The ball work as it should. The training book is useless for the most part. At least I was expecting more out of the book.

This ball is accurate and plays well, but as an advanced player I didn’t benefit from this ball, my girlfriend who just started playing a year ago benefited greatly. So I would recommend it to new players.
