Instructive break shot training device
09616320 · 2017-04-11 ·

Apparatus for billiards break shot practice, comprising a lightweight force absorption pillow and a triangle rack pattern combination. Game player breaks with maximum force to achieve greatest transfer to cue ball travelling to break up game balls, but using a reduced three-game-ball configuration with assistance of pillow and pattern that well-simulates virtually the same resistance of full fifteen-game-ball tournament game ball formation. A player saves tremendous time and effort in game ball setup and can practice break shots in rapid succession to develop high levels of breaking skill. Head and cue ball travel are observed in more iteration per practice session. The pillow has a storage flap to hold pattern, making it portable and quick to layout. Aligning pillow and pattern different distances apart simulates different ball resistances for game variations like 9-ball or 10-ball, or for different table sizes.
