Ghost Aimer 2.0
Rating is 4.4 out of five stars based on 9 reviews
Better than the ghost ball! Clear acrylic lets you see the centerline aim point intersect the object ball. Dual color lines contrast with all ball or cloth colors. Click HERE for instructions.
Three functions:
- Aim point locator. Place against an object ball, point the arrow through the ball at the pocket. Center line is the aim point.
- Cut angle estimator. Rotate to point the arrow at the cue ball, arrow indicates cut angle in degrees. Arrow and ball scale rotate while cylinder remains in place.
- Fractional ball scale. Vertical lines represent one-eighth ball width. Helps you reacquire aim point after aimer is removed. Works for cut angles under 30 degrees (cue stick pointed at object ball) and over 30 degrees (cue stick pointed past object ball).

I bought this to ingrain a 30 degree cut in my brain and help me envision different cuts. First of all, it is accurate. If I line up the GB 2.0 it gives me an accurate spot to aim for. I find that it works well for doing drills. Setup a circle for the cueball and OB, envision the line before using GB 2.0. Setup GB 2.0, confirm the line and make 10 balls. I do have a hard time seeing the red and green cut lines on the plastic. If the lines on the GB 2.0 were neon that may help. Pictures are 3’.
The Ghost Aimer 2.0 arrived as described and seen on the video by SSOP. I had to “borrow” a cue and object ball from where I practice since I don’t have a table. The video was clear and concise without a lot of going “off topic” which in general is more confusing. With my husband’s help I quickly was able to understand the difference between where you aim the cue ball and the actual contact point- something I had previously was confused about. Fun tool!
The ghost aimer 2.0 is as close to perfect as an Aiming device can get. It really works good, it's fun when the object ball goes in the middle of the pocket. Try it you'll like it.
I totally get the idea of the center Post as a ghost ball substitute. I just don't understand the other hash marks because the video doesn't explain them fully, or if it is, it is not making much sense to me.
I love taking this device and using it to supplement my laser pointer. I line up the pointer and pocket, place the OB on the line, then align the GBA 2 with the OB-Pocket. I love having the aim dials to help with incremental cut angles. My only improvement would be to make the dial(s) more visible to the eyes. Otherwise a fantastic tool!
Really helpful when teaching beginners to aim. Even use it myself when working on tough shots.
While you have to learn how to aim without this tool in a game, the Ghost Aimer will help to make you see the shot while practicing. It will also help you when experimenting with various types of strokes (draw, follow, spin etc.).
