Laser beam pool ball teaching method

Abstract

A laser beam pool ball teaching method employs a laser-beam generator ( 2 ) on a pool table ( 1 ) to direct a laser beam ( 9, 10 ) from the laser-beam generator to beam a desired laser-beam spot ( 4 ) on a pool ball ( 5 ) on the pool table to be impacted by a cue ball ( 6 ) that is impelled from a cue-ball position on the pool table by a cue with which the cue ball is struck by a pool player for causing the pool ball to travel to a pool-table target ( 7, 8 ) intended by the pool player. For beaming the desired laser-beam spot, the laser-beam generator is placed on the pool table at a position from which the laser beam can be directed to the desired laser-beam spot and be seen effectively by the pool player from a player position from which the pool player impels the cue in accordance applicable pool-playing rules. The desired laser-beam spot is determined by experience, skill, vector analysis and computer-aided calculation selectively. Computer controls can be applied with a computerized controller ( 3 ) in computer communication with the laser-beam generator.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A laser beam pool ball teaching method comprising the following steps: 
 placing a laser-beam generator at a spot-siting position on a pool table;    laser-beaming a laser-beam spot from the laser-beam generator to a desired impact spot on a pool ball on the pool table;    the desired impact spot on the pool ball being situated to cause the pool ball to travel to a pool-table target; and    impacting a cue ball that is impelled from a cue-ball position on the pool table by a cue with which the cue ball is struck by a pool player for causing the pool ball to travel to the pool-table target.    
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  and further comprising: 
 ascertaining the desired impact spot on the pool ball from experience in impacting the cue ball that is impelled from the cue-ball position on the pool table by the cue with which the cue ball is struck by the pool player for causing the pool ball to travel to the pool-table target.  
 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1  and further comprising: 
 ascertaining the desired impact spot on the pool ball from vector analysis and mathematical calculation for impacting the cue ball that is impelled from the cue-ball position on the pool table by the cue with which the cue ball is struck by the pool player for causing the pool ball to travel to the pool-table target.  
 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1  and further comprising: 
 computer-programming ascertainment of the desired spot on the pool ball;  
 transmitting the ascertainment of the desired spot on the pool ball to a computerized controller on the laser-beam generator; and  
 directing the laser-beaming of the laser-beam spot from the laser-beam generator to the desired impact spot on the pool ball with the computerized controller.  
 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1  and further comprising: 
 practicing impacting the cue ball that is impelled from the cue-ball position on the pool table by the cue with which the cue ball is struck by the pool player for causing the pool ball to travel to the pool-table target.  
 
     
     
         6 . A laser beam pool ball teaching method comprising the following steps: 
 ascertaining the desired impact spot on the pool ball from experience in impacting the cue ball that is impelled from the cue-ball position on the pool table by the cue with which the cue ball is struck by the pool player for causing the pool ball to travel to the pool-table target;    the desired impact spot on the pool ball being situated to cause the pool ball to travel to the pool-table target;    placing the laser-beam generator at the spot-siting position on the pool table;    laser-beaming the laser-beam spot from the laser-beam generator to the desired impact spot on the pool ball on the pool table; and    impacting a cue ball that is impelled from a cue-ball position on the pool table by a cue with which the cue ball is struck by a pool player for causing the pool ball to travel to the pool-table target.    
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6  and further comprising: 
 practicing impacting the cue ball that is impelled from the cue-ball position on the pool table by the cue with which the cue ball is struck by the pool player for causing the pool ball to travel to the pool-table target.  
 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 6  and further comprising: 
 computer-programming ascertainment of the desired spot on the pool ball;  
 transmitting the ascertainment of the desired spot on the pool ball to a computerized controller on the laser-beam generator; and  
 directing the laser-beaming of the laser-beam spot from the laser-beam generator to the desired impact spot on the pool ball with the computerized controller.  
 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8  and further comprising: 
 practicing impacting the cue ball that is impelled from the cue-ball position on the pool table by the cue with which the cue ball is struck by the pool player for causing the pool ball to travel to the pool-table target.  
 
     
     
         10 . A laser beam pool ball teaching method comprising the following steps: 
 ascertaining the desired impact spot on the pool ball from vector analysis and mathematical calculation for impacting the cue ball that is impelled from the cue-ball position on the pool table by the cue with which the cue ball is struck by the pool player for causing the pool ball to travel to the pool-table target;    the desired impact spot on the pool ball being situated to cause the pool ball to travel to the pool-table target;    placing the laser-beam generator at the spot-siting position on the pool table;    laser-beaming the laser-beam spot from the laser-beam generator to the desired impact spot on the pool ball on the pool table; and    impacting a cue ball that is impelled from a cue-ball position on the pool table by a cue with which the cue ball is struck by a pool player for causing the pool ball to travel to the pool-table target.    
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10  and further comprising: 
 practicing impacting the cue ball that is impelled from the cue-ball position on the pool table by the cue with which the cue ball is struck by the pool player for causing the pool ball to travel to the pool-table target.  
 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 10  and further comprising: 
 computer-programming ascertainment of the desired spot on the pool ball;  
 transmitting the ascertainment of the desired spot on the pool ball to a computerized controller on the laser-beam generator; and  
 directing the laser-beaming of the laser-beam spot from the laser-beam generator to the desired impact spot on the pool ball with the computerized controller.  
 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12  and further comprising: 
 practicing impacting the cue ball that is impelled from the cue-ball position on the pool table by the cue with which the cue ball is struck by the pool player for causing the pool ball to travel to the pool-table target.
