Digicue

See your medical doctor for a possible prescription of Propanolal (aka Inderal). This has been used by symphony musicians for at least 40 years.

It can be situational , just take the prescribed amount 1 hour before playing. Minimal side effects.

I made it (through level 3 with Nate's guidance). I swear the cue makes a difference but Nate can give you some specifics to try.

Here are my tips. You can eliminate backswing issues by shortening your backswing to 2 inches, maybe less. Nate can give some reference to use a method of a hard stop. That did for me. I am not an instructor and a good player

Taken from the DigiCue frequently asked questions:

How do I turn on the DigiCue?

Press the Power Button Circle once to turn on the DigiCue. The DigiCue will vibrate a number of times, indicating which of the three modes it is currently set to:

Mode 1 - One vibration: Novice mode (lowest sensitivity)

Mode 2 - Two vibrations: Intermediate mode (medium sensitivity)

Mode 3 - Three vibrations: Advanced mode (highest sensitivity)

How can I tell which mode the DigiCue is set to?

At any time, pressing the Power Button Circle once will cause DigiCue to report which

mode it is set to.

How do I change modes?

At any time, press the Power Button Circle five (5) times within three (3) seconds to cycle to the next mode. The DigiCue will remember which mode it was in after it has turned off, even if the battery is removed.

Does the DigiCue react differently for different types of flaws?

No. The DigiCue will vibrate the same way for all types of flaws, but it will vibrate immediately as they happen. We did experiment with different vibration patterns for different flaws but it turned out to be more distracting than it was useful. Knowing exactly when the flaw occurs is just as effective.

What does the DigiCue do?

Simply slide the DigiCue onto the butt end of your cue, push the power button, and then play the game of your choice. The DigiCue constantly monitors your stroke for inconsistencies and gives you immediate feedback by silently vibrating when it detects:

- Jab strokes

- Steering

- Body english or movement

- Standing up during your stroke

How will the DigiCue help me?

The DigiCue will force you to bear down on every shot. It will condition you to keep your head and body still during your follow through, leading to a lasting improvement in the consistency of your stroke.

What do you recommend as the best way to practice with the DigiCue? All types of shots or focus on hitting straight shots directly into the pocket. So, once I would move to intermediate which should be very soon, I just need to be even more precise I'm my stroke? In a sense is there more forgiveness in beginner level?

Beginner has more forgiveness.

I would recommend Joe Tucker's Guaranteed Improvement drills #2 and especially #8.

You will need to stay down longer than Gerry does in these videos to prevent the DigiCue from vibrating. Gerry is an awesome player none the less.
