Zero-X Puzzle Patterns, Easy Way to do it

Here is a sample of Tor's or Zero-X Puzzle Patterns on page 7A (I've changed the balls a little bit so as not to infringe on Tor's patterns). I am working on loading all of his patterns in my new ICA computer/ projector package (they will not be for sale). Here is a photo of the first drill with 3 balls on page 7A. I'm a beginner at this but as I go along, I can tell I'm getting faster with the keyboard. With these in your system, you can hit "h" and horizontally reverse it or hit "v" and vertically reverse it. Can you imagine how having these all set up and all you have to do is press "up" or "down" arrow to go to the next drill. I have put the CB where Tor says it should go. How rapidly can you do these drills without looking at a piece of paper for the balls? You've got to buy Zero-X "Puzzle Patterns" book to get the drills. Hope he'll be excited about that.

Integration with Zero-X content piques my interest. Where can I learn more info? I assume there’s space requirements above the table. I wonder if the system replaces a traditional table light, supplements a traditional light, or requires specific lighting hardware to support it.

Yes, so easy to load any ball layout. You can see my table in the signature. Typical LED light above the table. MY projector goes at the end about 8' from the table and about 8' high. You can put the projector either on the side or the end. Everything displays on the projector with the computer and software.

On this pattern I have added the cue ball tip control circle that would show high English and cue stick speed to make the track to the target. The target could be trapezoid, rectangle or circle. The trapezoid would be narrow at the perfect spot and then open wide to the not so perfect. The yellow track is automatic and is the tangent line. The cue ball line shows the angle hitting the object ball. All automatic.
So easy to add a folder and store this in Zero-X patterns (and I've changed the balls a bit to not infringe) as I have done.

Looks like a great tool for an instructor to have. Are any using it for lessons yet (that you know of)?

Thanks! What projector did you go with? Are you happy with it or wished you picked a different model?

Robin, the developer, is a pool instructor and to me that is a huge difference from PPB. It comes with a hundred plus drills but Robin plans on producing many many more in addition and he can download those via wifi. BUT, everything is so easy to load and store! I know Robin is working on 100 safeties and over 100 transitions to another angle on the 2nd ball.

I went with the ViewSonic pjd 5555 a couple of years ago and it works perfectly. Robin has the newest projectors listed on his website icatraining.com under "installation and setup". You'll need to know whether you might want a side or end projector. Great deals on used projectors on Ebay and Craigslist if you can find one.

You need to package this together, most of us would buy the projectors and lessons etc if it was sold together. Makes it easy for us lol

I'm just the first customer of several that have purchased the system. Everyone has to buy their own projector. You can do that through Amazon, Ebay, Craigslist, etc. You can tell all of that to the developer at info@icatraining.com. On his website, he describes a bunch of projectors for end table use and side table use.
