ABSTRACT:
A billiards training apparatus is described, the apparatus used in training a user to properly strike a cue ball. The apparatus comprises a housing having a front face, the housing coupled to a striking platform extending a length from the housing. An elongated striker is held in position by at least one support element, the elongated striker having a striking end and a terminal end. Further, the striking end extends out from the front face of the housing and is positioned parallel to the striking platform. At least one lateral movement sensing element is electronically coupled to at least one visual indicia element, the elements being lights in one embodiment of the invention. The elongated striker is positioned to be struck in-line by a cue, the lateral movement sensing element alerting the user to any non-linear movement of the cue relative to the striker.
