Billiards Aiming Assistant





Do you want to improve your game in Carom Billiards? Then you need to improve your aiming.

Designed and visually presented as an assistant for your practice, Billiards Aiming Assistant utilizes the theory of Tome di Bola and takes it from plan view to the way you will see the balls when actually playing. Striving to create a more realistic representation of your aiming lines, it will always be at hand during your practice, be it on your mobile or your tablet.



Testimony:  

"When Stratos Kantzelis asked me to test Billiards Aiming Assistant, I was  initially reluctant, as the deflection is a delicate issue of the cueing  parameters. Once I set up the application and tested it extensively in all  groups of points, I was pleasantly surprised with its efficiency and  accuracy. This innovative application allows all 3 cushion players (and of  all other games) to certify their own deflection, improve their aim, the  relevant ball thicknesses and improve overall their cueing action. Billiards  Aiming Assistant has totally convinced me and I suggest it to all players  keen to improve fast, efficiently and in an essential manner."

Billiards Aiming Assistant is the tool that will help you understand the way to aim when playing with ball systems in 3 cushion billiards. Incorporating all aspects of aiming every player should take into consideration in order to deliver an accurate hit, this app turns a complex thinking and assessing process into a series of easy and comprehensive steps.

With 5 easy steps you can:

1. Setup the application as per your current cueing action results and relevant deflection. You will always bill able to re-setup your personal cueing parameters, should you change cue, cue tip, shaft or even cueing action. Therefore it will always assist you with your current player characteristics, thus helping you to incorporate any change in style or gear and improve faster.

2. Position the cue ball according to the desired thickness against the first object ball and estimate your aiming in relevance to the tips of english of your choice for every point.

By simulating the produced deflection, based on tips of english and distance between cue ball/object ball, Billiards Aiming Assistant will create a dummy ball, always locked on the cue ball, representing the cue ball's deflection augmented position, prior to contacting the object ball. Slide the dummy ball to the desired thickness and you will get the simulated true cue ball position for your aim.

Billiards Aiming Assistant is the tool that will actively help you to create a mental mapping of all relevant aiming ball thickness' you mostly use as a player.

Billiards Assistant

1. Will help you calibrate your tips of english and measure deflection correctly


2. Will let you choose between different parameters for Cue ball/Object ball


3. Will allow you to set the distance between Cue ball/Object ball for more accurate deflection calculations.


4. Will create a dummy ball as a dotted circle according to the deflection created from your choice of spin


5. Will allow you to position the cue ball according to the dummy ball and finally give you the aiming position


Disclaimer




Aiming accurately , with the problem of deflection, is down to one's experience. Deflection is a natural phenomenon occurring in every shot and is affected mainly by 3 factors. Your cue, tip hardness and cueing action.

By asking you to specify key parameters of your cueing, this application, will simulate the cue ball's augmented position when hitting the object ball according to spin and distance. It is therefore imperative to calibrate the app with true 3 tips of english and the deflection they create. No other calibration will produce the desired simulation. By no means can this application anticipate that you hit the cue ball as per your calibration every single time, nor does it claim to be extremely accurate, as the cue ball sometimes has arced trajectory.

To assist and improve your aiming, use equipment with low deflection attributes and avoid very hard tips. Hit smooth & straight, reduce the length of your bridge, and go through the cue ball deeper. This will induce more spin allowing cueing closer to the ball's central axis, thus reducing deflection.
