The Laser Stroke Story

Hi! My name is Ted Schulze Inventor of the Laser Stroke Training Aid , Let me tell you a little about myself and how I came up with the Laser Stroke , I am not a Pro Player but I can play a pretty good game . Back in 1983 , 84 , 85 , and 1986 I played on a pool team , in the Weber County Mens Pool League in Utah , and we took first place for each of those years , I quit playing in 1987 because my eye's were getting worse and if I couldn't keep playing better than I did before , then I didn't want to play . Then in 2005 ( 18 years later ) I had Laser Eye Surgery and now I can see better than I ever could . So I picked up a cue and started practicing again , but I was having a hard time trying to play as good as I did before , And I knew where to aim the cue ball with or without English to make the shot , but I kept missing a lot of shots , so I was pretty sure my problem was with my stroke , And it seemed like no matter how much I practiced or how hard I tried I still couldn't make that cue ball go where I was aiming , So I got the idea to buy one of those laser cues that has the laser coming out of the center of the cue tip ( cost me over a $100 by the way). Well this didn't work to good because the laser dot projected only a few inches to the cue ball and stopped , not far enough to give me much feedback as what my stroking arm was doing . So I thought I would put a target dot on the wall and that would give me a lot more feedback , but now with my bridge hand on the back rail and the target dot on the far wall I had to point my cue up and try to stroke in an awkward position . the other problem was that the Laser dot was not on the center line of the cue , so if my stroke is perfect , the laser dot would still move side to side . The other thing is I like to have a little up and down motion in my stroke ( which is OK by the way, just watch the pro's play ) so now the laser dot is moving up and down and side to side . This is when I got the idea to mount a vertical Laser line on the cue . With a vertical laser line now I can place the cue ball on the table and still see the line projected on the target dot on the wall, So now I can also practice my warm up stroke and then my pause and then hit the cue ball. And all the time I can see what my stroking arm is doing .So I think I solved all the above problems with the Laser Stroke Training Aid . I can now shoot long shots with no fear of missing the shot, I also can now aim to make the object ball into the center of the pocket, or the left or the right side of the pocket if I want to do what the pros call cheat the pocket .This really is an awesome product and WILL result in Awesome gains . And If you decide to purchase one you will soon find out you are hitting the ball more solid and with more confidence , you will also find that you don't have to spend as much time practicing to get in stroke for your next tournament game .
