Not an expert but personally I wouldn't bother. Bingham got sight right on his cue and he clearly doesn't use it. Watch him in a minute and you will see the way he holds his cue it's pointing to the side.

that's cos its for practicing his alignment

while i think the sighting aid on his cue is for marketing purposes only he pointed out on several occasions that stephen feeney had played a big part in his success since wining down under

If you think they will help then they will,mind over matter

Thanks rimmer 10,,,,I'm like most players, always looking for that extra something that will help to improve my game.seen that Bingham not really using it but is that not just because of muscle memory of knowing where to position himself

Maybe mate, like I said I'm no expert on it and have never tried it. Here's a link to a previous thread about the subject.http://www.thesnookerforum.co.uk/boa...ght-Right-Cues

Greetings fellow Snookerians,

I've bought a Sight-Right-cue direct from Riley to Malaysia, used it for 6 weeks and here is my humble opinion:

Buy it if you think you are struggling with your sighting and head positioning during cueing (cross cueing).
Don't buy it if you think it will make you cue straighter than before.

Well it did help me to fix my sighting (more to right side) and made me understand a bit more of my bad habits during easy shots (center pocket) missed. But over all, its a sighting tool to help fix your off-alignment and nothing more.

Cheers,
Z

Thanks for your input zhuge, on what you've actually gained from buying your cue,even your own small improvements must give you a good feel good factor.

From my point of view I think it just cannot be the cue as he can't see the little device when he's down on the shot. However I believe the coac hing he has been getting from Steve Feeney(? not sure of name) which is obviously centered around alignment has really helped him. It might be he has seen someone to help his mental side too, as said above.

If you are of a mind I think getting some coaching from Feeney would be much more valuable that buying one of the SiteRight cues.

I think the sight right cue is only used for rest play. its the same principle as the sight right board shown by Steve Davis in one of his video. if you notice Stuart Bingham cues normally with it to the side, then when he is using the rest, its on top.

Cheers terry, I'm going to look into getting some coaching.

Thanks for your feedback mate. Would you say it was money well spent or in hindsight would you have rather used the money for a few coaching lessons instead?

Interesting point mate, haven't noticed that
