Hi everyone, I wanted to follow up with an update on Billiard Shot Studio. Thanks again to everyone who helped test the early versions.
The app is now at version 3.1 and available on both iOS and Android. Version 3.0 introduced a new physics engine, and several changes address feedback from this thread:
- You can choose 7-, 8-, or 9-foot pool tables, plus Heyball, snooker, and carom tables.
- The aim and cue-control popups can be dragged out of the way, so they don't cover the shot you're working on.
- Playback supports frame-by-frame stepping and slow motion down to 1/32 speed, with an optional cue ball spin indicator.
- Pocket Aim Lock adjusts the aim as you change speed, spin, or ball positions to keep a direct pot lined up when possible.
- You can export a shot as a video or share a shot link so someone else can load the same setup in the app.
All the tables, simulation, playback, video export, and shot links are free. The free version allows two object balls; Premium adds more balls, cloud saving, practice generators, and other features.
Full details on what's new in 3.0 and 3.1
If you try it and find a shot that doesn't look right, post a shot link here so I can take a look.
