I can track any shot so yes it could do. Just depends on what the objective to measure is

Hi All, Happy New Year to everyone! I've been doing more analysis and this here's some more great data on two Elite players having a try at the Perfect Draw Shot. I anonymised the data but Player Y is actually Phil Burford, he was ok for me to use his name. You can probably guess who the...

Appreciate the write-up, Rick — that one made me laugh. Jokes aside, that’s exactly the point of the exercise: isolate a few repeatable things, work on them deliberately, and ignore the noise. And for the record… the Emperor is always watching both flying back arms equally. Glad you got...

Hi, Thanks for the kind feedback... It's great looking at all the cue actions and subtle variances of players. I've just been looking at a father daughter combination and once again the system has thrown up some interesting observations that regular in person coaching probably wouldn't have...

The Emperor's Eye will soon be officially open, I'm still finishing off some free analysis for some of you but I just wanted to say thank you again to all who have submitted their videos. It has been a pleasure looking at them. The level of detail I've been trying to include in the analysis is...

Quick Update - The Website is nearly ready for Launch... Several new features have been added including critique from the AI Emperor himself, you'll have to do well to appease him though. Just look at how he mocked frailty in this top players routine... Lot's of other features have gone...

Thanks, yes the commentary is from the darkside himself lol. I guess I could have made the controls a bit more obvious but yeah just swipe left / right to do the main score increments. After a game if you press yes to the share to facebook you'll see a preview of the match report (there's...

Hi All, As some of you know I've been working on the shot analysis studio app which will be ready to go live as soon as I've added some more videos into the website to accompany it. However, you probably won't know that I also made a scoreboard app dedicated for pool about a year ago. It's...

Hi Caleb, Thanks for the kind words and sharing the video. It was good to see you making these shots. That’s actually exactly how this is designed to be used — and you’ve worded it really well. Nothing here is trying to replace good coaching or in-person guidance. Where this layer becomes...

Happy New Year to All! Did anyone get any brand new shiny gear? Thanks again to all the players who have provided video for analysis, I hope the feedback has been useful to help you improve your stroke and technique! I've been working away on the front-end website to accompany the analysis...

Thanks for the kind words. I did message him on FB but he’s probably still reeling from that 9 ball

Thanks all for the feedback so far! For all those that have sent me video and not had any analysis yet I'll make a start on it tomorrow as I'm watching the Mosconi Cup (naturally). Gotta feel for Tyler yesterday, the crowd were relentless against him and he didn't deserve all that heat! He'd...

It's a tricky one really because yes in theory i could pull in some footage of a match and analyse it but for a better reference ideally you'd want to have someone play a fairly tricky shot repeatedly. In a regular match all the shots are different so yes you could get a feel for their cue...

I haven't analysed any high level players yet but will be approaching a few of them soon. If there's any pro's on here I'd be very interested to put their stroke through its paces with some testing shots to see what the data comes up with. Just drop me a PM

Hi, I think it can definitely help based on what you've just described. If you're able to set up a shot repeatedly I can analyse them and try to work out what can be going wrong. I've had a fair few people already give me some video and I'm working my way through them all and it's been very...
