Thinking of picking up a digicue blue, but I never hear about them on az.
What's the consensus on these things? Worth it?

I would have to see how it tries to correct a top pros stroke first.
Someone (maybe Jayson) was using it at SBE and scored great.
But it depends on the pro and their stroke. SVB drops his elbow all the time and it would probably buzz all the time. But the good news is that the Blue lets you turn off certain features (like elbow drop).
Pros like Aranas and Biado I imagine would score well...but what about loopy strokes like DeLuna and Busty? A mechanical snooker style isn't for everyone.

All,
I'm an engineer, not as much a business guy. I think I need to do a better job in my marketing. There seems to be two assumptions made:
1. Loopy strokes and fluid backstrokes
2. Elbow drop
Both of these things do not matter to the DigiCue IF the last 20ms of your forward stroke before the ball is hit is in a straight line through space. I absolutely guarantee you that most pros, no matter what their warm up strokes look like, deliver the tip perfectly at the critical moments. Even a pendulum stroke will be perfectly straight during this time, IF done correctly. I made a video proving this.
If you have any questions feel free to PM me!

Ae these videos on youtube, what's the channel? I been to the EXPO and went to the OB booth to try it, was disappointed that they didn't have one to try two consecutive years in a row.
I did see a Pro playing with it at the Kamui Booth
Thanks everyone, I think I'll pick one up.
A preshot routine setting would be helpful for me. I want to pick up that last second indecision where I'm all lined up on a shot, but decide at the last second to adjust a little and then miss the whole damn thing by a mile. BUZZ, you shifted your shot while you're down, get the hell back up and start again.
It's probably a pipe dream, based on the variety of pre-shot, though.
IMO, for max results, you should have a training partner or practice buddy to work with you,
The benefits of knowing why the device activated is limited in scope until or unless you can
identify what you are doing with your stroke and it’s errant movement. You might think to
yourself you can figure it out on your own. Well, it is easy to do that when your stroke flaws
are conspicuous and you can feel something isn’t right. But the more subtle aspects & slight
movement, body position, stance, pendulum, wrist stability, grip, length of backstroke and
straight line penetration beyond the cue ball’s position, etc. are beyond what the device offers.
Knowing what might be wrong with your stroke is a helluva lot different than knowing what to do to fix it.
I'm working on a cue ball that tells you where your tip landed. I can barely get the prototype to work, but imagine if it eventually worked well enough to become a product.
