I recently purchased a SightRight cue. These cues are expensive for what they are and the quality does not justify the price. The SightRight app offers a few freebie basic lessons. It offers additional lessons but these must be purchased. Seems a bit rich to sell over priced and average quality cues and then require buyers to pay for lessons. P.S. if you're thinking about buying a SightRight cue don't waste your money. Spend it on some decent coaching.

Prices range from £180 to £600. You can check the cues out on the Riley site. The SightRight app is free to download. Basic lessons are free. Additional lessons are downloadable at about £1.50 each. Not much but it's galling to pay for a cue and then get hit for extra lessons.

When these cues first came out we did a review on here and the majority figured they are a gimmick and I agreed with that. Then Bingham won the World using that cue (I think) and their sales probably skyrocketed. They are still rubbish in my opinion though.Terry Davidson

Does not matter if a cue is used or endorsed by a pro. Actually I take that back, lets reword it...
If a pro uses it avoid it.
We all know it's a gimmick just like the Aconmate piece of crap that Hendry played with for a time that Ebdon also endorsed and neither of them played any better than with their original cues warped in Hendry case and a £15 machine spliced Dufferin in Ebdons.
Note that anyone who has bought one and still praises it is also selling it asap.

Personally, I think SR cues look ****, though I'm not going to slag the actual SR implant. There are other ways of dealing with the issue without using SR. If it helps some players, should we tell folk to avoid it?

Not seen one bar pictures but lets face it Riley aint made a cue for donkeys years they are just buying in cheap tat and badging it so I doubt these cues are any different just the same rubbish modified with the sight rite thing.
Should we tell folks to avoid it? Yes I say so, this is a forum where many people come to find opinions on products before buying themselves. Those opinions should be coming from us , joe public not pros being paid to endorse crap.
Kinda like JR6's tuca gizmo, an idea as old as the hills that can be done with a pop bottle. Why pay for it?
