Within an hour or two of Atlanta. Me in Aragon. Steve Lomax in Alto. Rob Phillips in Conyers, Lane Simons in Decator, Ryan Roundtree in Williamson, Ricky Cox in Jasper, Katsuhisa Hirano in Dacula, Ducky Tanner in Rome, Eric Hatfield near Cartersville and a few more I can't remember right now plus several more that just do repairs.

FusionCue - The most advanced pool training system is almost here (video demo)

Here's a summary of features:
  • Real-Time Ball Tracking: An overhead webcam and a locally-running AI vision model track every ball on the table live — no special balls, no sensors, no cloud processing.
  • Projected Table Overlay: A projector turns the felt itself into the screen — drills, targets, animations, and guides are drawn directly on the playing surface.
  • Auto-Scored Drills: Projected zones show where to place each ball, then the system detects shots, makes, misses, and scratches and scores every attempt automatically.
  • Drill Library & Editor: Play the built-in drill library or build your own — placement zones, valid balls, target pockets, and goals — no coding required.
  • Community Drill Sharing: Browse drills other players published and import them to your table with one click.
  • Internet Multiplayer: Invite anyone with a FusionCue table to a live match — same drills and games, synced scoring, shot clocks, and a match lobby.
  • Table Link: While your opponent shoots, their table appears on yours — ghost ball positions or a full live video feed projected onto your own felt.
  • Same-Table Multiplayer: Up to 6 players on one table with automatic turn rotation, per-player scoring, and shot clocks.
  • AI Voice Coach (coming): A hands-free voice coach that watches your session, answers questions, calls out patterns, and talks you through drills — speech recognition runs fully on your PC.
  • Target Pool: Pocket the called ball and land the cue ball inside a projected three-ring bullseye for 6/4/2 points.
  • Instant Recall: Freeze any layout and every player runs the exact same table — projected markers show precisely where each ball goes back. Share your table layouts with the community to see how other's approach solving the layouts.
  • Live Streaming: Stream your solo sessions, local multiplayer sessions, and internet multiplayer sessions across YouTube/Facebook/Twitch/Discord with automatic lower thirds (scoring graphics).
Additional Features
  • Instant Replay: Every shot is auto-captured — zoom in and out, slow down footage, and save the clip for social media.
  • Session Recording & Video Library: Record full sessions, keep match replays, and publish drill videos as public, unlisted, or private.
  • Shot Analysis: Per-shot breakdown of cut angle, shot speed, and miss direction.
  • Stats Dashboard: Success rates, streaks, and history per drill, per session, and per multiplayer match.
  • Cue Ball Path Visualization: Ask to see neutral/follow/draw/stun, in combination with right/left english, over any number of rails.
  • Diamond System Overlays (coming): Bank-shot and kicking reference lines projected right on the rails.
  • Guided Calibration: Step-by-step wizard that helps you align the projector & camera with your table.
  • Table Entertainment: Project movies or any video onto the table surface between sessions.
  • Community Feed & Chat: Built-in feed for posting session clips plus Discord-style chat channels.
  • Shaders: For fun, turn on the shader feature and switch between 10 unique shaders that leave an interesting path when your cue ball is in motion.
I've setup a discord for those wanting to get their environments ready.

Energy transfer from cuetip to whiteball

Somebody should put 'em in their place - you know, with facts and stuff.

This is one of those times that both things can be true. Zerkies is right in that thinking of hitting the CB hard can actually be counterproductive (for the reasons Bob J says) so it’s better to think of it as hitting the CB fast. But PJ and others are also right that in fact you are hitting the CB harder when you’re hitting it faster.

It’s like when people talk about the follow through. Yes, the CB doesn’t “know” you’ve followed through nor does it care about what you do after you it has left the cue tip. But if you don’t follow through then it is extremely difficult to hit the CB at the point of maximum acceleration.

What corner pocket size is this?

Bob Jewett said:
The pocket facings look a little strange. Like wavy. But I agree that based on the balls in the pocket, that's 5 inch, or close to it.

My GC4 is just like that. About half of the facings have some waviness or curvature to them. I wonder if they were that way when new, or just the years of pounding on the facings did it. Mine was always used in a private home from when new, never in pool hall. I'm owner 3.

Two fundamentals of pool to avoid sounding foolish for years

In summary, this post was to alert beginning and newer players about the most important parts of pocket billiards. I was a bit harsh in my original post, however, that harshness was in part to bring attention to this post for those newer players. And what I said in that post is true, WIthout the foundation, how can one talk about anything else with a straight face?

Sadly any new players I met got to level one and were content. Club house bangers. No incentive to learn, to find out what is inside of them.

Having been in Olympic time trials, and having had coaches that have won Gold in the Olympics and friends that were in the HOF, life is not as simple as you describe. The land of hard knocks and time/effort and losing and not liking it and not giving up, are at the core of greatness in Anything one does.

That is cool that you have been in Olympic time trials. Congrats for that. But there will never be a world class pool player who does not have a consistently quality and straight stroke, no matter how many battles they have been through.
