Give the backs of the pockets and all of the balls the same polarity via a small magnet located at the heart of every ball. This would add another level onto shot selection - obviously the magnets on the pockets would have to be weak, or most shots would be impossible, but it would give the game a whole
new dimension. You could also have a remote that changes the polarity of, say, the colours every two shots etc.
A whole new world has been opened up!

over time, they would all drift to the north edge of the table. |

[dbmag9] the magnets would be small, not strong enough to drag the entire ball over the cloth/baize. Just big enough to add some exitement to the game. |

It was a positive comment, no need to be defensive. I have a fun image of someone shooting a ball and the entire table errupting into total chaos, with balls flying away from each other and making a massive chain reaction that would only subside after a few hours. |

Introduce a (very small) hamster ball into the table and enjoy the ensuing catastrophe! |

Install these on your parabolic pool table and you'll really mess up your head. |

This would actaully make an interesting computer flash game or something simple of the sort. I've seen hundreds of pool games as well as magnet-based games. I dont see why a well trained programmer couldnt accomplish this. |
