Digicue pass around from OB

I don't think anyone was saying it was all-inclusive.

Pool's a damn hard game to learn to play well. Simple answers to such a complex game aren't real and don't help, long-term, as my 55 years of playing has shown me.

As to your answer to a bad stroke: Couldn't a grip sensor help here?

Scott lee has been talking about just that for a long time. As of now the cheapest options are HD cams from multi angles and a few good video editing programs...you can grid out and even with my cheap cam i get 1080p 60fps.

myself i think it should be like a 80's nintendo power glove.......earl would LOVE IT.

apologies for butting into this thread . . .

Apologies for butting into this thread but I notice some people using the test hitting the ball down table and back to the tip as part of their testing. This test can be easily "cheated" with compensation for errors. This compensation could explain unexpected vibrations. The solution is simple, add a gate down table near where the cue ball is hitting the rail or add a second ball down there one diamond from the rail, or both. This insures that a person is hitting the rail where intended and not cheating the shot. A gate can be as simple as two balls, any two objects preferred, or an actual gate can be cut out of wood, cardboard, or whatever. Hopefully this will explain any mystery buzzes when the cue ball returns to the tip seeming to indicate a straight stroke and shot.

I am interested in this device as an aid to some exercises I do at home without a pool table so I am watching this thread with interest. I posted this to hopefully add to the accuracy of the testing.

I'll try and remember this when I get my turn, which should be fairly soon....and I'll even have someone with a better stroke than me do it, as well! :p
 
I'd also be interested in seeing if it's possible to avoid buzz on a firmly hit shot with a lot of english. Does the deflection of the shaft, even when struck as straight-through as possible, register as an error?
 
I tried it with 3 cues, 3 different shafts. A Frey sneaky with the SS360/2, a Schon with an OB Classic+ and a Predator Roadline with the 314-3. Several hours changing out the cues and each had a different shaft. There was no appreciable difference in performance. It's designed to vibrate from the stroke, it is on the butt of the cue and is measuring direction and other criteria, I don't think deflection matters at all. I hit many shots firmly with english and it did not buzz. However it did vibrate for me on longer strokes with english. I posted a review in the other thread.
