The soundrecorder from your cellphone. Then all you need is a free wav analyser to measure the time. It's very simple. I've done it before cuz i'm a cheap guy. Thats how the app works. Sound is sampled at thousand of seconds.

had a day off, so spend my whole day, filming from different angles a straight in long stop shot. I taped the ground last night, and checked the different parts of a shot. And i found this: Don't use the red curtain shadows as reference as it was moving , but use the small dots above (the...

Well.. All work and none work at the same time. What hrlps one day is not helping the other day. The tumb over the cue and the fast long warmups work best, but it's temporary. I'm thinking of breaking it down and see what part is having the biggest trouble. A/ my stance B/ my bending down C/...

mini update: - was my bday last week. - my arm shoulder is 90% solved - back at practice table - played my first tournament in over 1.5year since i crashed from lyme - 34 people and i played the finals with my double partner Diana khodjaev. - used the price money to pay for everyone's drink. -...

i haven't tried that last piece of advice , but it could be part of the solution. i have a very loose and bend bridge arm where most top players seem to have it fully stretched. To give some update: i'm incorporating several of the advices (don't go so low, turn my hips, left foot more...

anything with an excel file and a microphone and 1minut of time to write the formula and you are set if you are a cheapo (same as the predator app but free), if you want to spend money on it, then there are many different ways.

you can''t do it with a cue stick. the forward movement speed would be to high. you have to pick up the cb with the hand for example, apply maximum spin as possible with the wrist or other device? (max rotations/sec) , and gently throw (let the ball fall, just of vertical) so that the ball as...

Pidge the last option sounds interesting. A griend sugested it to me too yesterday and he's tall Poolmanis: i have tried that technique. It helps but i am crosseyed dominance ( i even believe my eye dominance changes). So i need to move my head so much sideways it feels bad It's silly how such...

ah stop it Will :embarrassed2: Time to give some updates. first my health. after 12 weeks of work with doctors, needle therapy etc, my body and neck has it's full mobility again. my nerves are unblocked but they have been hurt for so long that it is very painful as soon as something...

hi all. SO many good responses. it's a lot to take in and test. I have tried several of the advices. i find there is truth in each one of them, and what helps for one shot/position doesn't feel natural for a other shot. I really find it important to still have everything feel loose and...

yup. its moving up in the beginning but last couple of inches it goes outwards. it doesn't feel natural/loose if it goes all up but i guess i'll have to get used to it. i think i have full motion. The mirror trick i have used. i have one on my wall on the short rail. it helps me visualize...

cool, i'll try both things and see if i can identify the problem more specifically. ps drop the rock: can you explain better what u mean with "lat/arm" ? just hold it under your armpit like a thermometer?

Hi collin, I have actually used this as a training method for a long time. a friend advised me it for my 8ball game mainly, but i find it very useful in straight pool to manufacturing better break balls. bumping a ball in the triangle just outside helps a lot. I don't really have a point...

I was wondering if other players have experienced the same thing and how they corrected this. Ok, i hope my explanation of the problem will be clear. When I lay my cue in the correct line of the shot parallel to the table, when i move my body downwards over the cue as vertical as possible...

mini update as there's not so much to say. I finished my 1000 try's and had a 72% on the last try. First thing i learned doing this: if i didn't do the exercise for a day or 3-4 and start again, my muscle memory forgets the correct speed very fast, where as I'm sure i could run 90% success if i...
