Hey everyone, I was lucky enough to be one of the people who were included on the Digicue pass around and I had my sample time with the OB Digicue, I think it is a well made product and a fantastic training aide. The Digicue would vibrate when I faltered somehow in my stroke, I was able to figure out what I was doing incorrectly and solve the problem. I did not have it long enough to see how long it would take to work that problem permanantly out of my stroke but I will find out because I plan to buy one. For those concerned about the Digicue causing any damage to your cues I just do not see how that would be possible. Like OB claims you just slip on to the end of your cue. The Digicue appears to be made from a nice flexible silicon rubber that is memory resistant and soft, it is not a hard, stiff rubber piece. Since it slips on to the butt of the cue I was a little concerened about bouncing my cue on the floor, something I frequently do but I am aware of it because I also own a bumperless cue so it was not difficult for me to adjust. I was unaware if this would cause damage to the Digicue and I did not want to be responsible for ruining it for anyone else. If I could make changes to the Digicue I would prefer it to be Bluetooth capable where you could send the cueing info to a laptop or other device and possibly even see a graph of your stroke. It did take some experimenting to find out what I was doing to cause the Digicue to vibrate. I also understand this would push up the pricing but to me I could see it being worth double the price if it had this capability but Im sure OB would also lose many sales because as it stands I think the price point is pretty freindly. Maybe in the future we would have this option and OB could offer 2 models, that would be outstanding.
I also received a sample of the OB chalk. I think OB have outdone themselves on the chalk, I have yet to try Russian Magic chalk and Great White but most people seem to like Blue Diamond, I think the OB is even better than Blue Diamond. It is not as dry or gritty as BD and it adheres to the tip very nice but what I like best is that it is very clean. It seems almost dust free yet I know its on the tip because it would leave a noticable blue dot on the cue ball when breaking with a leather tip. That was the only time I noticed any chalk on the cue ball, table, or my hands. I have definitely found a new favorite chalk in the OB!!! Previously I prefered NIR or Blue Diamond. 2 great products from OB, great job guys!!!!!
