Seemed like it might be good but it just doesn't work. It blocks the infra red signal.

This product is a waste of money. It does not work. When you put the remote in the cue it no longer sees the bar so you lose control. Total waste of money and time.

I really take some risk to buy it with such a poor rate. When I got it, I found out why some people called it a failure.

If you put your sensor bar above your TV like me, it definitely won't work if you assemble it as designed. Because the infra red signal comes out from a hole at the bottom of the stick. The stick itself will block the signal when sensor bar is higher. If sensor bar is below your TV, it works fine. Just for people playing with two hands, your left hand may block the signal sometimes.

For those who put the sensor bar above your TV, I suggest to use it as what I do now. It definitely works and gives you a real feel. Don't screw the stick onto the controller holder to its very end. Make half a circle left such that the hole will face upword. Now enjoy game and your pool stick.

Hope it help.

this is really difficult to use. no really good instructions. took us almost 1 hour to figure it out. then once we figured it out it was hard to get it to do what it should to play the game.

This thing has no real use or effect on the game it is completely pointless!

I bought this to go with the WII pool game but really didn't need it. You can use it or not, the choice is yours.

The Pool Cue is a little awkward to use and not always accurate but still it adds some fun to the game.

There are pieces inside the cue stick that block the IR transmitter on the WiiMote. (I did not realize this before purchasing). Save your money and only buy Nintendo Officially Licensed Products (I am not even sure if this product was even tested.)

I have read a lot of complaints about the pool cue and seen some tips as well. It took me a bit to figure out, but once I did it works great. I found that with the Wiimote in the cue holder, if you hold it with the remote facing down (opposite from the way you would normally hold it) it works great!! you don't have to move your sensor bar from the top of the TV or anything. I really like it. It's improved my game and made it a lot more fun

If you use the sensor bar as mentioned on top of your tv, which I do as it's a large tv, the stick blocks the signal if you don't screw it together all the way it isn't tight and flops around. You can wedge something in the gap to make it tight but fooling around with this thing to make it work properly isn't what I paid for.

It shows on the box that it goes together differently than it does when you assemble it, if it went together as shown on the box this review would be different because I actually like the idea just not the implementation.

There is a hole at the top of the stick that allows the sensor bar to read the wiimote the problem is that the hole, when the stick is put together properly, ends up at the bottom of the stick making it necessary for you to move your sensor bar below your tv which is not convenient to me at all. On the package it shows the opening on top however, there is no way to thread it tightly this way. Neat concept and I really wanted it to work but it just doesn't. Why isn't there a way to adjust the opening for where you have your sensor bar and not make me adjust my sensor bar for the opening so I can enjoy the one pool game I own?
