There are a ton of training tools available to pool players. Some of them are a complete waste of money, however the Jim Rempe Training Ball is not one of them. In my opinion, this is the best training tool on the market, especially for those new to the game of pool. One of the more difficult aspects of the game of pool is learning and controlling English. The Jim Rempe Training Ball teaches you just that.
The ball is essentially split into two sides. On each side, the ball is broken into four quadrants. On the beginner side, the quadrants are basic, as seen in the picture above. On the advanced side, each quadrant is further broken out with more detail in order to give you enhanced training. In addition, the ball comes with a 56 page training manual to guide you through the learning process.
The Pros:
Easy to use with a simple learning curve. Quality ball made by Aramith. Detailed 56 page training manual that will hold your hand through the learning process.
The Cons:
The book is terse to say the least. The writing style is not the most user friendly and can feel like you’re being talked down to. To get the most use out of it, you really do need a pool table at home.
The Bottom Line:
The best training tool on the market, especially given the price. Expect to pay anywhere from $20-30 for this tool. You’ll get your money’s worth and then some.
