The cue action should be a snooker cue action, which is to pull the cue straight back along the initial cue plane/angle and not a swooping/rocking motion commonly seen in pool. Cue it positively and drive right through the white so that the grip hand hits the chest.
Start with medium/low power shots and not much distance and concentrate on the cue tip contact point on the white, strike low but not too low to start with. Also, the original tip on the 360 is quite a hard tip and you may find putting a softer blue diamond or elk master on it helps."Do unto others 20% better than you would expect them to do unto you, to correct for subjective error"

So, my honest opinion is that while the cue might improve your cue action if you're a beginner, and it might smooth out any minor wrinkles if you're a good player, it wont make a beginner into a good player all by itself. Snooker has far more areas of skill, technique, and ultimately it boils down to putting in the hours of practice - something I don't get any of, of late."Do unto others 20% better than you would expect them to do unto you, to correct for subjective error"

i think there have been other threads on the purecue 360 on this forum.
i myself was thinking of buying one until i had the opportunity to use one with Nic Barrow when i had a coaching session with him.
i found to my suprise that i was able to play with it better than my own cue. it never broke once so i decided not to get one and try and improve what imperfection that i have with my cue action myself.

i have visited the proper website for the cue which is at http://www.21ccsc.com/ and the cue there is sold for £99.95
go to the website yourself to check it out, i myself would buy direct from there rather than try my luck on ebay and find out its fake
be wary only buy from trusted sellers.

I agree with alabadi here.
However, I have to question. Is this just a gimmick?
Yes, it shows you cue straight and well, without tension etc.
But I've seen Steve Davis cue with one of these...it bent like a semi truck!
6 titles to your name, must be working for him ok.
Plus, if you play for a bit with that cue, then pick up your own, your actions going to change again surely.Long days and pleasant nights.

i myself would rather try the Gravity cue as this suppose to help with lateral movement and twisting of the cue. 2 things that i do and want to correct, on the main website these are sold out so this might tell us its more popular than the 360cue.

I wouldnt mind a go with one for curiosity if nothing else. Wasnt sure if it was real on ebay thats why i sought advice from more experienced folk on here, but if it is real and you want one its a very good price, and the ebay site does give the same phone number as the official site so you could always phone and check, if nothing else they may get this taken down if its fakeThis is how you play darts ,MVG two nines in the same match!
