Digicue Blue. Guys are Afraid to Know?

Here’s the rub.......for maximum improvement, you really need to be able to see what occurred and why.
Looking at numbers long after the deed is done does not replicate what happened and why it happened.

If you play several racks, unless you also made a video and then correlated every shot taken with the
metrical data to see what you did to make the device activate and then studied the video closely to see
what you did, therein lies the best application for using Digicue. Examining data long after the shots are
taken just leaves a big hole in my opinion. That is why I submit if you own one, you can enjoy using it on
your own but the best results would be from using it with a practice partner supplemented with video too.

It will also tell you the elapsed time between each stroke. Many other variables are recorded as well.

I've been looking for a screen shot from the app that shows number of strokes but I haven't been able to find one. On the screenshots I've found, the data seems aggregated/averaged.

Can anyone point me to such a screenshot?

Thanks.

No one cares about your stroke or how you play. This thread is about a device that can help almost anyone's stroke.

The digicue blue tells you what you did wrong on every shot. People do not want to use it because they do not want to be reminded their weaknesses. Players do not want to do drills because it also shows them their weaknesses. Pocketing balls is not the goal. Perfect execution is the goal.

Not that I'm in the market for a DigiCue, but I'm betting that you know that if you develop very good mechanics, it will make you less likely to break down under pressure than if you have poor mechanics.

That's the exact reason for trying to develop them.

Also, calling someone out to gamble when you know for a fact that you are a far better player is a bad look.

Digicue blue was being sold at Derby City for $50.00 each

History will give you a time stamp for each stroke.

In stats, you can set any variable to 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 1 year or all data. Then it will give you a bar graph showing number of times you scored a certain number for that variable.

If you want screenshots, send me a pm and i can text them to you.
 
Your message is almost word for word from the OP's post.
How do you know what people want and why they wouldn't use something.

it's all in the settings

I think there is a still a little confusion here about the device. Maybe this will help. I am a Digicue Blue owner and operator when I feel like spending some time specificity working on my stroke which may or may not have nothing to do with anything you might ever see in a video.

I've found the only way I'm going to beat the expert level is in my head and these days I have the settings configured for the only things I'm concerned with, Tip Steer and straightness. It's not a matter of doing something right physically, it's the locked in state of mind throughout the shot.

Using the settings I can make a variety of choices that can turn the device from a "by the book" stroke measurement system into a want to know "I did it again" system that's on my back every shot I take.

I do that with the settings. I didn't see a screenshot of them so please check out the attached file.

This is not just a "by the book" stroke measurement system. it's a tool that can be used for training various areas for various levels of students. Just turn on what you want to monitor in the settings and your ready to work on it.

People are not afraid. It’s not that they don’t want to be reminded of their weaknesses, lol. Maybe they just believe that you can slice a pizza more than one way.

And the the slice should be large enuf to be easily folded in half when eaten.......nuttin’ beats a great pizza pie............not even Digicue.

I don't know who is better and neither do you . I saw afraid and just figured I would clarify that I'm not and excuse me for trying to get some action going lol 😂....If by chance I am better I can promise you I lost over and over for years gambling before I started to win so I paid my dues 30 years ago ! I'm 50 and living the dream bud and really don't care what anyone thinks . Get yourself a Digicue and I'll keep playing strangers out here .

Before we get to that let me ask you this. I looked at the screenshots from the Android store for the DigiCue app. The third one is the history screen. Each line has a date, a time, and number of faults. Does each line correspond to a single shot, or is it referring to summarized data from a session. And if the latter, can you click on a line and get a list of shots making up that session?

If I buy this device my primary application is simply counting the number of strokes - something I need to know to accurately compute my average in 3c. I may or may not use the other analytic capabilities of the device, but if it can passively truly count and report the number of strokes accurately it would be worth the price for me.

I appreciate your input. If I do end up buying one they should give you a commission.

Inferring people's motives for not doing what you think they should do is an incredibly bad look, and is precisely why this thread went sideways and the other related threads are going sideways.

Having used it I can say all shots are in history unless deleted.
History has times within dates are the individual shot stats. So in your case you could count shots. They are time stamped. If you took a break for instance.

Did notice after starting reply you typed android my experience is iPhone. May differ.

Edit: checked OB’s YouTube vids and iOS and android appears to be same view. You mentioned the 3 rd one. Actually left to right would be 2nd. 3rd is STATS gives overall average for shot stats follow through, tip start etc...so like a 5,5,5 &10 =7.5 seems useless for your intended use. History would be best

Here is a screenshot from when I first used the Digicue last year. These are individual shots and I can click on esch one to see the recorded details/parameters. I'm not sure how many shots it stores, probably thousands. You can scroll through pages and pages of individual shot history. The overall stats show total shots for either the day, week, month, or year.

Brian gave you what you are looking for but it gives you the details for each individual shot if you click on it. You can turn off the vibration and use it purely as a data logger. Had never thought about using it to compute an average in 3 cushion. You can use it for a session and then record your average. It will log all shots for the time periods I mentioned. So you can look at 1 day to see that day's session only or erase data to start over fresh.

Depending on ones play say practice with a friend as I have or league. I leave it (phone) on a nearby table and look at the phone after several shoots mainly if it went off. Shot is fresh in my mind so I may dismiss a fault knowing I had to jack up over close ball or OB very close etc... May realize yep I didn’t follow through or shot quick.

I’m not pushing this item on anyone. Just try to give first hand experience. AA players likely have no need for such a device. My Fargo is only 491 or so B level and have a full time job haven’t played from the age of 5 LOL.

Ok, between the three of you, I now get it. What was confusing me was the HISTORY screenshot in the Android store (which is different than what you were looking at, I think), which made it seem as if the lines were sessions, because in only 5 lines we had one shot on 11/5, one shot on 11/8, and 3 shots on 11/13, with the first one 14 minutes before the third one. That looked more like sessions to me rather than individual shots. BC21's screenshot finally got it through my skull.

Greenies to all 3 of you and an order for Amazon.

Thanks.
