Laser Pool Balls

I don’t play pool that often but I realize that I have a very poor skill at visualizing complicated or multiple angles on a pool table. Of course, angle of incidence = angle of refraction but let’s prove it. Why not have a practice laser ball* and mirrors just above the bumper. When you are about to make a shot you could use a remote to turn on the ball’s lasers. Maybe you could step through an array of angles. Let’s say that at 45 degrees the laser hits the bumper’s mirror and reflects right to the side pocket. Lock the ball (light comes on the back to tell you where to hit it) and take your shot.

Another idea is to have a laser in the cue, a clear cue ball, and clear tinted balls. The cue’s laser goes through the cue ball and shines through the ball to be hit and shines on the mirrors and shows you where the ball will end up**. Move the cue stick till the laser hits the desired pocket. Practice till you are making multi bank shots then you can become a hustler.

*These balls will need to have some sort of self leveling laser circle that can point in a number of directions.

** I guess if you plan on just scraping the desired ball with the cue ball there is no good way to use the cue laser?

The easiest part of this idea is how you would see the laser line. This is solved the minute you walk into the smoky billiards hall.
