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.

CuePro turns your phone into a pool coach that actually sees the table. Photograph the table and CuePro reads the ball positions into a layout you can check and correct with a tap. Then it shows you the best shot on the table: which ball, which pocket, the exact aim line, and the spin to use. Can't make a clean shot? CuePro finds the safety that leaves your opponent nothing. RUN THE WHOLE RACK Beyond just the next shot, CuePro plans your run-out shot after shot, with the position you need to keep the table open. Every recommendation accounts for cut angle, cue ball travel, and the leave for what comes next. SHOT BY SHOT Or take the rack one ball at a time. CuePro puts three real options in front of you on every shot, each with the stroke it needs, and you pick the one you'd actually shoot. Undo anything you don't like, and play safe whenever the table says so. LIVE AIM See the shot on the real table. Tap the pocket, frame the object ball, and CuePro places a true-size ghost ball and the aim line on the cloth through your camera. The line follows you as you walk around to line up. Needs an iPhone or iPad with AR. EVERY GAME, EVERY TABLE • 8-ball, 9-ball, and 10-ball, with the right rules for each • Banks, where every ball has to come off a rail — single or multi-rail • One Pocket, planned the way the game is really played: when to score, when to move a ball up, and when to give it back • 7-foot, 8-foot, and 9-foot tables • Center-ball or full spin control, from beginner to advanced • Balls out mode for when it's do-or-die and every cut is worth trying WEEKLY RUNOUT One rack a week, the same rack for every player, proven runnable before it ever goes out. Read it, run it, and see how close you got. PRACTICE Drills gives you twelve set-ups to shoot on your own table — making balls, playing shape, or both, plus pattern run-outs with a sample run to step through. Log how many you made and watch your best, your average, and your lifetime percentage climb. Pattern Play hides the answer — the rack comes up with no lines on it, you call the pocket, and only then does CuePro show you the pattern it had in mind. Stroke Trainer uses the phone in your grip hand to catch a stroke that drifts off line, goes too far back or through, or twists at the wrist. FIND A ROOM Pool halls, bars with tables, and billiard shops near you, or in any city, ZIP, or address. Directions, a call button, and your regular spots saved. REFEREE Settle a disputed hit with slow-motion instant replay up to 240fps, frame by frame, so you can see exactly which ball the cue touched first. TOURNAMENT Single elimination, double elimination, or round robin with a playoff. Any size field, table assignments that stay put as results come in, finishing places as they're decided, prize money split by finish, and the whole bracket on a TV over AirPlay. SCORING A side-by-side scoreboard with a shot clock, built for the table, not a scorer's notebook. Keeps sets as well as games, and casts to a TV. SHARE ANY LAYOUT Send a table position to a friend with a single tap, they open it and see the exact same layout, ready to work through. FREE TO START Three-ball run-outs, the weekly puzzle, the scoreboard, and the room finder cost nothing and don't expire. Pro opens the full rack, table scanning, Live Aim, Referee, Tournament, and Practice.
