OB Cues has a new product

Meant to ask this the other day, but how many accelerometer's are used? I'm curious as to how a single accelerometer can track and interpret enough changes in cue motion to work.

Because the accelerometers are mounted far from the bridge hand (butt of the cue), and the angles are small, we can approximate them to be linear. Then it is just a matter of band-limiting the bias and dynamic parts of the signal and doing some filtering and bit-shifting.

Props to you. Very nice. :)

Link to a short clip I made, showing the StrokeMaster and the Stroke-Alert.

Doug Carter's Stroke-Trainer gave me the inspiration for StrokeMaster.

During the concept and design stage I dreamed that C players could get table length draw using this. Nope nope nope. And, my wife got sick of hearing me say StrooookeMaaaaaster all day.

It's really hard to use if you are trying to hit balls with it. Not bad if you are trying to develop a piston stroke on an ironing board or kitchen table.

I have attached a drawing of the bearing ring. I had a local machine shop make the custom bearings, known as "ball transfer units".

The Stroke-Alert sounds like a cow. And it wasn't helpful in diagnosing my stroke. :(

I pre-ordered one at the BCA nationals and shot with the unit at the OB booth this last week in Vegas.
Immediately it showed I had lateral moment and tended to pull back after my stroke.
I look forward to practicing with it to improve my stroke fundamentals.

Glad you got a chance to try (and order) the DigiCue. We are very happy with the response to this device both in the feedback that we have gotten and also the number of orders.
 
Has any top players been used for testing? Would sucks to play a rack just like SVB and this is telling you your stroke sucks.

Approximately 50 players tried it in the last 24hrs at the China open and the response has been overwhelmingly positive.
