The present invention is a pocket assembly to receive game balls for a billiard sports table where the rail piece is relatively resistant to very long term wear and a ball receiving piece is very rugged, but is relatively low cost and easily replaceable. In the present invention, the rail piece is preferably of cast steel, aluminum, brass or other long wearing metal and is adapted to be fixed to an opening in a billiard table rail.

A method of providing feedback for a piece of cue-sport equipment, a cue ball or cue stick, during a game play first collect spatial positioning and orientation data from a plurality of measurement sensors that is integrated into the cue-sport equipment. Then, the collected data is analyzed to generate a virtual movement model of the cue-sport equipment as the virtual movement model includes a calculated impact force diagram, an animated travel path, and a calculated absolute orientation for the cue-sport equipment. Then, the player can view the virtual movement model through an external computing device to improve their cue-sport skills effectively and efficiently.

The magnetic pool cue holder system comprises a pool cue, a rack, and an equipment holder. The pool cue may be adapted to be held by a user and used to strike a cue ball. The pool cue may comprise a cue magnet. The cue magnet may be operable to removably couple the pool cue to the equipment holder. The rack may be configured to place a set of pool balls into starting positions on a pool table. The rack may comprise one or more rack magnets. The one or more rack magnets may be operable to removably couple the rack to the equipment holder.

The invention relates to a games table including a base structure having an upper frame on which a table top is mounted via a mechanism for tilting about a longitudinal axis, the base structure including a floor support frame and a rolling carriage which are connected by an articulation mechanism, the table including at least one member connecting the table top and the articulation mechanism, the member being moved by the tilting of the table top while being designed to place the base structure in a stable configuration in which the support frame is arranged on the floor below the rolling carriage or in a movement configuration in which the rolling carriage is arranged on the floor below the support framewhen the table top is in a horizontal use positionor in a raised configuration for storage.

A billiards aiming device is provided. The device is comprised of at least one aiming spot that can be placed on a playing surface of a billiards table. The aiming spot may be positioned in one embodiment via at least one alignment tool. The aiming spot has a plurality of structures designed to aid a user in factoring in various conditions for making a shot on the table.

The present invention is directed to a pool rack for grouping pool balls tightly on a pool table. The frame has walls that may be disassembled and may move between, and exist alternatively in, an extended position that loosely group a set of billiard balls, wherein the rack walls are substantially upstanding and, or a closed position that tightly groups the balls, wherein the rack walls are angled and the frame sits atop the billiard balls.

The modular control system is a semi-portable control system that is intended to elevate the playing experience of indoor table games. Accordingly, the control system may be attached to an existing game table, to enable a vast array of enhancements and features such as and such as automatic digital score keeping, multi-colored controllable lights, interactive crowd noises and announcer, stat tracking, game analysis, recording video, streaming video, and uploading of video etc. Further, players may interact with the system with their network connected devices or attached control pad or remote control. To accomplish this, a control board that is electrically and electronically connected to multiple audio-visual components and sensors are mounted around the game table. Furthermore, the control board may operate independently or may connect to a proprietary web server which maintains a database of world-wide teams and rankings, which players use to compete in ranked matches.
