    Thorsten Hohmann - Cue Lab Shot Diagram iOS APP

    There’s great intel being shared in this thread. Yes - The mobile interface and modeling are the biggest challenges. I’m more interested in table setup and drawing paths (export) than actual game play. I know that Ai will catch up and offer more modeling tools - Sky is the limit don’t you think?

    Thorsten Hohmann - Cue Lab Shot Diagram iOS APP

    We have the technology to handle the front-end/back-end development and host services. We're limited by space/layout and startup cost(s). Virtual Pool can integrate with Facebook (Mac) and it has a competitive module. For now, I screenshot and post drills into my notebook. As far as Thorsten’s...

    Thorsten Hohmann - Cue Lab Shot Diagram iOS APP

    Yeah I agree with that. It’s possible that some mobile developer will figure out how to better integrate Ai technology into making a better diagraming tool. I've used both Virtual Pool and Poolshots, and both are excellent in very limited areas. The biggest limitation is in the mobile...

    Thorsten Hohmann - Cue Lab Shot Diagram iOS APP

    HI Awhile back I was able to use this amazing tool for plotting out billiard shot patterns. It was an iOS app that has since been removed from the public domain. Can someone help with locating, or recommend another option. Going to their website or the app store is useless.

    GRIP QUESTION

    To get a refresher of this topic, we’re talking about the “gap” from the cue stick to the body causing lateral movement during the stroke? I can definitely agree that most of my “mishits” LOL result from cue deflection during the stroke. I know what someone is going to say - “A crooked stroke...

    GRIP QUESTION

    Bob Jewett was quoted in an article that's valuable to, and maybe the jewel in the crown. Several months ago I was experiencing some issues with my grip (yes) pressure. I found a couple of threads that talked about the “V” grip, and the importance of pressure through the cue ball contact. I...

    GRIP QUESTION

    I prefer to unwrap and wrap during the swing. I don't like to put any pressure on the thumb or forefinger. My forefinger provides touch and feel. Basically, it's a dead finger stroke. I know it works with pitch and chip shots (golf) why not billiards?

    rolling grip/fingers forward

    This information is on point. Sometimes I can feel myself adjusting (moving) my stroke hand when I actually should have backed off and moved closer to the table. I'm going to put that into my practice playbook and run through some shots. Moving the wrist up and down that shaft is like eating...

    GRIP QUESTION

    This is good intel! Trump being a snooker player would have pressure in the last three fingers right? I feel that the cue is out of alignment when the primary pressure is there, and that impacts speed and consistency. I agree that the primary grip pressure is not pressure but technique. Moving...

    Cut Aiming Template

    I simply love using the AimRight template, and its complementary software "Angles Challenge 101." Out of the many comments and tips about how to aim - I feel comfortable when I can get the perspective view, drop down on the line, and take the shot. I can use the template on the table as a...

    Eight ball pocketed on carom

    Thanks and I appreciate all of the responses. However, in respect to APA/BCA standardized rules it’s hard to cite the rules when you just want to compete the rack. I don’t play APA due to all the SLOP that’s present to keep the game moving. I did look at the BCA standardized rules for...
