If you are 100% satisfied with your stroke, you don't need to pay for training aids, instruction, books, videos, etc. Just be happy. Some of us are not.
Given sufficient information I believe people can make informed decisions about products or services, and whether they’re any good, without having actually tried them.
We all do it all the time through the opinions of friends, neighbors, co-workers, google, TripAdvisor, and other sources of reviews. And that’s why it’s important to have open discussions *here* on all things pool and not limit them to those that will only sing kumbaya in three part harmony.
We all do it, just as you have chosen to use Microsoft instead of Apple.

That thing do dishes?
Don’t need to know.
I have a very simple way of determining the quality of my stroke: does the ball go into the pocket and does the CB go where I want it to.
Lou Figueroa
You say be happy but then you turn around and criticize people for not spending money or you say they are afraid of the truth about their stroke. And wonder why you get pushback.
Wow, there is a lot to read here. I'll try to answer your questions the best I can if you PM me.
In general, pool is a sport. You absolutely do not need anything except your own physiology to succeed. In a few ways lou is right in that the end product needs to be something organic, thoughtless, and as binary as "in the hole / not in the hole". You can brute force your way to becoming a great player. But for people who enjoy being students of the game, the DigiCue gives you an additional tool to help you along your way. It's purpose is to either help get people out of their wheel-spinning if they have an issue in their fundamentals that is getting them stuck, or as help in figuring out why they aren't as consistent as they'd like to be.
This game is hard, and I think people who went through the pain and suffering of growing into a great player via the method of elimination don't want others to have an easier time in their efforts. I forget who once said this about pool, but their comment was along the lines of a "sport which eats its young".
Keep improving any way you know how. I know I do

No, you are wrong. I never posted to these guys unless they posted negative. I really do think a lot of people that would NOT want to try these devices are either happy with their stroke (great for them) and probably would not read about such a device, can not afford the device or do NOT want any criticism. I think the device is a good value and wanted to express my opinion.

Oh, my mistake, I thought YOU were the guy who started the thread titled:
Digicue Blue. Guys are Afraid to Know?
Oh wait, you were.
Well, I just ordered one and I have a question I haven't seen raised, and while it is OT from the OP's original question I think it would be useful to anyone contemplating a purchase. It doesn't look like it is rechargeable, so a) how is battery life, and b) how easy is it to find replacement batteries?
Thanks

It must have aggravated a few.
YOU THINK???
But, I think a guys are now informed about the neat device.
Most everyone was already "informed" about the digicue.
