Can't help you with buying one but I use mine with every student I get to check out the grip as it gives you instant feedback. I believe they are only around 75GBP (could be mis-remembering though) new from Gravity Cue

If you want to try one, before you buy one, you might be able to find a local coach who has one. If not, whereabouts are you in the UK - cos I have one and might be able to make some time to meet you somewhere to give it a go.

Hmm... I've never seen one of these! I wonder if it's possible to make a bendy joint for using existing cues? Or has this been done already?

*Apparently* they spent a long time getting the size, strength, weight, etc of the cue and joint as well as placement etc so it's non-trivial to get it "right".

I had a Gravity Cue here but I didn't find it all that helpful for students. It is normally a quite heavy cue, above 20oz with a brass finger running down the butt opposite the flat part so it's also a very butt-heavy cue. The idea behind it is to stop the wrist joint from turning on the delivery but there would have to be a lot more weight there to prevent that.

The 360 though, in my opinion, is a winner to resolve any grip problems.

Thanks Terry, i am going to hold out a bit longer for a second hand one as i'd really like to replace my cue as well and cant afford both. I did read some of your posts and others before deciding to go for one. I can totally see how it works and think it will be great/totally frustrating to use

I'm down in Epsom (Surrey) so it's not insurmountable, but it's a bit of a trek. If you're over this way some time, PM me and maybe we can meet up.

I think this might be a good thing to have for a club. Several guys could share expenses for one.
So, what is the weight of 360? My regular playing cue is quite light at 478grams, which is slightly below 17oz. Does 360 have graphite coated shaft? Hopefully not because then I would not touch it.
Seems to me that not all pro's could play with it, as some play with firmer chest contact points. Not sure how that would work out. Also I couldn't imagine someone like Mark Selby not bending it a few times.
