Automatic Shot Clock

I know…..and slow play really needs a cure which this clock can achieve. As far as the cue ball, I do hope you’ll recall I am one of your biggest fans and have said DigiBall is the best thing that happened for pool since chalk. I wasn’t part of the testers evaluating DigiBall but I boasted about all it offers to improve one’s pool skills. Meanwhile, slow play is a problem of its own and a countdown clock like this definitely helps improve the overall slow pace of play which badly needs to change.
Thanks for the kind words! I’ve changed features based on your advice before.

Ussery goes undefeated to win Pool Series $1,000-added One Pocket event at The Smokin’ Cue

We almost missed it. In our never-ending search for events, we tend to get hypnotized by the ‘normal; a 9-ball event on a regional tour, a Split Bracket (or more recently, Quad bracket) event happening somewhere else and the usual menu of things happening in the upper stratosphere of the tournament scene where the Pros hang out.

Automatic Shot Clock

More so for pool, but less possible with carom, especially if all three balls are DigiBalls and all monitored by the shot clock.

At the very least, since 95% of pool shots end with the cue ball stopping last, it would help train players to keep a faster pace which should carry over into the 5% of stop-shot plays.
I see your point, and I do appreciate the automation. Just looking at the website for the smart cue ball, btw, impressive. Best of luck. I might be interested when they’re released.
