    Illuminated Cueing arts vs Projection Pro Billiards systems (ICATS vs PPB)

    Illuminated Cueing arts vs Projection Pro Billiards systems (ICATS vs PPB)

    I'm wondering if there are players here who have experience with both of these systems? ICATS is significantly more expensive. Is the interface easier to use to build drills with, and is the content of existing drills superior to PPB? How does the quality/display resolution of the projection...

    What drills are best to get that smooth stroke like Buddy Hall , or Chris Melling?

    How do they get such great timing on their final forward swing? Could someone suggest a few specific drills to work on? Thx

    Best online course in fundamentals

    Thanks, All for your replies. I have realized that fundamentals are absolutely critical , if you want to go far in this great game. There is a lot of conflicting info on youtube. Something as basic as the "stance" , can be a point of great contention between players, and teachers. When I...
