Paul Nettle, the inventor of the Predator Breakspeed App, also a friend and valuable resource of computer knowledge, created the Break Demon. It is essentially an advanced version of the sound profiling idea that attaches above the table for more accuracy.

Also the DigiBall measures speed also with the distance over time method. See https://www.digicue.net/digiball_tutorial.php

The pace of play is atrocious on both sides of this one.

suckers play the slot machines and justify it for whatever reason. that's on them. at least there once in awhile they do win.

suckers play better players even for money and justify it in their minds . fine with me.

but if you are stupid enough to do it with a pro and play even. at least make it a one and stop game. then you get to shoot as many times as him.
but will still lose. but will get some play in.
now maybe you wont be such a fool. as a fool and his money will part.

Live it a little. Not all of us are trying to hold onto our last nickel, or need to.

Thanks for posting but not quite what I’m looking for.

The training today globally is totally different from what most beginners in America would be exposed to 50 years ago. Internet not withstanding, Training is sooo much better today for beginners around the world.

I took some pool lessons 35 years ago from a few top American pros- none of them discussed PSR, stroke mechanics, etc. - not even close to the levels that are taught today. Here was one top pro’s advice in 1990 to me regarding stroke technique “ let the stick do the work” - THAT was all he could offer as stroke training- for $50 an hour in 1990!

To clarify my last post, I think Mr. Dieckman sold his gas cues for 500 usd each.
