The shot lab

Same shot.
A different next position.

A straight-in shot makes the effect of spin easier to see. Compare the cue ball’s movement when it arrives with draw, stun, or follow.

No forward or backward roll at impact

Stop it there.

On this straight-in shot, a cue ball arriving with stun stops at contact. On a cut shot, stun sends it along the tangent line.

Illustrative paths. Solid balls show the starting setup; the blue outline marks the cue-ball finish.

From seeing to understanding

Give every shot
a reason.

Recreate a situation, change one thing, and watch what follows. Build a plan you can take to your next practice session.

Understand the movement.

Adjust aim, stroke speed, and spin to explore the path of each ball. The new 3.0 engine gives you a fresh way to study contact, cue-ball travel, and rebounds.

Slow the moment down with frame-by-frame playback. Pinch to zoom up to 4× when a small adjustment needs a closer look.

02 / Position

Think beyond
the pocket.

Choose a cue-ball destination and search for a shot that pockets the selected ball and brings the cue ball toward it. Replay the result, explore the controls, and decide what to try.

Searches can return no result. They offer possibilities to investigate, with no promise of a perfect or best solution.

Practice with
a purpose.

With Premium, generate random shots around the skills you want to work on. Choose pocket types, ball distances, cut angles, speed, sidespin, and draw, stun, or follow.

Explore random 8-, 9-, and 10-ball layouts, or start from a break setup for each game.
