Abstract: A pool ball positioning apparatus includes a wedge-shaped body with an inclined upper surface having a channel formed therein to guide a pool ball along the length of the inclined surface. Preferably, the channel has an arcuate cross-section which matches the curvature of the pool ball, and the surface is sloped at an angle of approximately 21.degree.. In use, the apparatus is positioned on a pool table and a pool ball is positioned in the channel at a predetermined position on the inclined surface. When the ball is released, it will roll across the pool table to the desired location.
