Pool Stick for Wii

Rating

The WII Pool sticks are useless. The way the stick is designed it block the signal and makes playing pool impossible. No wonder they were discounted on Overstock. I made the mistake of ordering two thinking they would be a good idea.

Poorly designed...when placing the remote into the cue and trying to use it as such the hand up higher on the cue blocks the infrared light from reaching the sensor.

I found that using the pool stick was very upsetting. Because the Wii remote is placed in the handle of the cue from below. Sometimes the infared sensor doesn't pick up the movement of the cue especially if the sensor is placed high (i.e on top of a big screen or as in my case on top of the mantle under a wall mounted tv.) It seemed like a good purchase, but my friends and I found ourselves playing without the cue. It's also pretty akward to play with if you don't have a table top to place it on mimicking a pool table or something to that effect.

The stick is ok but the remote sometimes won't work because it doesn't have a clear site of the sensor your hand gets in the way.

it's a really neat way for my kids to play the pool game. make sure the wii sensor is a little lower b/c you use a real pool stick at waist level or lower.
