Stuck on a layout with no idea what to play? Tap Hint and see it instantly: where to strike the cue ball, which side of english, how hard. Works for free carom, one-cushion and three-cushion. NO MORE STARING AT THE TABLE Hint draws the path right on the table and only picks shots that still score when your stroke is a little off, so it's a shot you can actually make. Tap again for another route. After a few, you start seeing the lines yourself. DRILL THE LAYOUTS THAT BEAT YOU Set up exactly the position you keep missing and shoot it again and again, instead of waiting for it to come up in a game. Not sure what to set up? 25 classic free-carom and three-cushion positions are ready to go. STOP MISSING THE SAME SHOT Replay your last game shot by shot to see where it went wrong. Tap "Practise this position" and the exact layout of that miss is set up for you to practice until it drops. PRACTICE ANYTIME No trip to the club, no paying for table time. Open the app and the table is ready. Missed? Retry the last shot right away. WHAT YOUR HANDS LEARN HERE WORKS ON A REAL TABLE Table and balls are true to real-life scale. Pick a 7 ft, 9 ft or 10 ft match table to match the one you play on. Balls roll, rebound off cushions and take english like on real cloth, so your practice carries over. NEW TO THE CUE? NO PROBLEM 38 lessons take you from your first stance to three-cushion, each with a demo shot first. Want a challenge? Six AI opponents from easy to tough, and every win helps you level up.
