Here's an analysis of a shot with the Pool Shot Analyzer app, fast or slow into the corner or side... slow-corner 0.13 degree error margin fast-corner 0.09 degree error margin slow side 0.12 degree error margin fast side 0.11 degree error margin So slow into the corner is the easiest choice...

Try the Pool Shot Analyzer java app from the downloads page of www.cue-md.com. It'll tell you almost everything you want to know about contact point size, margin of error, cut angles and so on.

I think the marketing raz-ma-taz far exceeds whatever marginal stability gains you get from a laminated vs. solid shaft. That's assuming the laminated shaft is well made.

Thanks for finding this problem, we'll get it fixed in the next update.

I'd love to be at the table if Ron and Dr. Dave were having Thanksgiving together.

The QMD (www.cue-md.com) tracks the orientation of your cue stick during the entire stroke (from set to finish), typically around 90-100 'frames' per second. It does assume that the cue stick is level and pointing at center of cue ball at the set position, so it's showing you the deviations of...

Take a look at the Side View animation near the bottom of the QMDs web site (www.cue-md.com). This is an example of a slight elbow drop, notice the butt of the cue starts to drop slightly at the end of the backstroke and keeps dropping on the forward stroke. A QMD recording of a proper...

There's an older video of Mike Sigel playing straight pool, can't remember who he was playing for sure (maybe some German pro). Anyway, the commentators were talking about how Mike's also a cue maker and is playing with one of his cues. Just then he misses a bunny, turns around and just snaps...

The QMD Stroke Trainer (www.cue-md.com) shows you where you hit the cue ball along with a lot of other measurements about your stroke. But all the electronics you need to figure this stuff out (power source/regulation, radio transmitter, accel sensors, gyro sensors, mcu, etc.) would be tough...

Are you envisioning some wireless electronics embedded in the ball?

I need to get some recovery time (about 8 hours for me, an older guy) after a typical workout or my coordination's off. Get some rest and rehydrate before pool practice or a match, how long is an individual thing that you'll have to gauge for yourself.

QMD (www.cue-md.com) does just what your asking for. If you're using it with a smartphone you could stick it in your pocket and get a vibration the instant your stroke goes off-line.

You'll never for sure if contacts will help unless you try. I wear disposable contacts (Focus Dailies) only when playing pool and it helps me hugely, though my eyes (20/140) are way worse then yours. Disposables are pretty cheap ($1/pair) and I re-use maybe 6 times since I only have them in...

Magic Eraser is about equal to 3000 grit sandpaper.

Not sure how this topic got into acceleration/deceleration, but it's something I look at when using the QMD stroke trainer. The velocity chart it produces will let you know what you're doing, and hopefully it's what you're intending. The first picture shows acceleration through the cue ball...

I read somewhere in proposed olympic rules for billiards that alcohol was banned as performance enhancing.

Keep a big glass bowl by my table in the basement. Toss them there just to see how long before it'll get filled. About 5 years to go.

Well, running out of time on KickStarter.. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1179898559/pool-mate-modern-american-made-single-cue-holder?ref=category Not to say they can't get funding elsewhere.
