Master the Process. The Results Will Follow. Turn your time at the pool table into purposeful practice. Reaper: Pool Coach brings focused drills, structured routines, practice tracking, and tools for 8-ball, 9-ball, and 10-ball into one place on iPhone and iPad. Created by Coach Chris Riser of Reaper Pool School, Reaper helps you build a repeatable routine: choose a skill, put in focused work, record your results, and decide what to practice next. Whether you are building your fundamentals or adding structure to an established game, set your own pace and make every session count. PRACTICE WITH A PLAN Start a timed session, follow a built-in practice plan, or create a custom routine with your own drills, instructions, and time targets. Pause and resume your work, return to an unfinished session, and review your recorded practice afterward. BUILD YOUR SKILLS Explore the Drill Library and use Coach Me guidance to work on stroke fundamentals and cue-ball control. Record 12-shot sets, review your results, and identify your next area of focus. An optional interval clock adds structure to your drill repetitions. STUDY YOUR BREAK AND RACK Rack Coach organizes three-rack practice sessions for 8-ball, 9-ball, or 10-ball. Keep your selected break position and rack template consistent, record quick check-ins after each break, and add a table photo for your own review. Reflect after each rack and use Remember This Rack to save layouts you want to revisit. Rack summaries are based on your recorded observations. PRACTICE YOUR PACE Use the standalone Reaper Shot Clock to train your decision-making rhythm. Choose your duration, configure countdown cues and the ten-second alert, and track overtime. Use it alongside your own practice or rack sessions. SEE THE WORK YOU PUT IN Follow your Reaper Level, practice XP, and streak.
