PerformStars is a video-based training companion for serious pool players who want measurable progress. Record or upload practice, get shot-by-shot breakdowns, track your form over time, and stay motivated with clear goals and visible improvement. Practice videos, your way Record training videos right inside the app, upload existing clips, or add a session by pasting a YouTube link. You can also run a demo training session to see the value of analysis before uploading your own videos. Sessions can be deleted anytime, shared via link, and exported as a shot table in XLS (sent to your email). Session analysis with full control PerformStars automatically detects shots inside your video and labels outcomes as made or miss. You stay in charge: fix occasional mistakes by manually correcting results and deleting false shots that shouldn’t count. Review every shot individually, jump through the full shot list, and open a dedicated shot view with a poster/video snippet for that exact moment. Each shot comes with a detailed card of measurable parameters from our database: speed, distance, complexity, cut angle, target path, pocket, and confidence. Coaching mode: progress, reports, trends The Coaching screen turns practice into a structured process. You see your progress toward the next automatic report, access your coaching report history, and track trends across time periods. This is where PerformStars becomes more than analytics—it becomes motivation: you always know what you’re building toward and what’s improving. Want a human eye on your game? “My Coach” explains how remote coaching works: private collaboration with a coach, shared video review, and a training plan built around your actual shot data. Live, matches, and the community layer Explore the larger billiards world through search across users, players, and matches. Browse top players and top/live matches, open player pages, follow favorites, and view match replays remotely. Inside a match you can dive into racks and individual shots, then jump directly to player profiles and recent match history. Your player profile and privacy controls Your profile is your identity and your progress hub. See your place in the ranking, profile stats, achievements/levels, and activity feed. Training privacy is under your control: you decide whether your practice statistics are visible or kept private. Reliable by design PerformStars is built to feel fast and dependable: a local database for instant startup, profile/training/report sync, delta updates, quick pull-to-refresh, smart media caching, and upload continuation after network failures. Whether you’re chasing tighter cue-ball control, more consistent pocketing under pressure, or simply a training routine that keeps you hungry— PerformStars turns practice into visible progress.
