Kick Shot is a multi-cushion route training tool for pool and snooker players. Key features: • Chinese 9-foot pool and 12-foot snooker tables • Generate valid 1–4 cushion geometric routes, with up to 3 recommendations for each setup • Add 0–5 fixed obstacles: black 8-balls on pool tables and unnumbered black balls matching the other snooker balls in size • Drag the cue ball, object ball, and obstacles with continuous collision handling that keeps every ball from overlapping • See a large full-table minimap while dragging, positioned away from the ball being moved • Watch the cue ball and object ball roll onto the table on cold launch • Switch directly among Route 1, Route 2, and Route 3 without recalculating • View cushion contact points, diamond values, and clear direction arrows • Refined walnut tables, realistic pockets and rail sights, plus ball surfaces that roll with movement Free trial and purchase: The first 5 valid route generations are free. Starting with the 6th, a one-time in-app purchase permanently unlocks unlimited route generation. Switching among generated routes does not use another free generation. The price shown by the App Store applies. You can view the purchase or restore purchases at any time from About & Help. Important: All routes are ideal geometric training references that assume no spin and ideal rebounds. Real shots are affected by speed, spin, cloth, and cushion conditions. The app does not guarantee that a real shot will exactly match the displayed route. No account and no ads. Ball positions, preferences, and free-trial usage remain on your device, and route calculations are performed locally.

About

Pool Training Simulator

Read full description

Learn pool shots on your phone, then make them on a real table. Real billiards physics on a 3D table you can tilt, zoom and follow like a TV broadcast. No ads, no account, works offline. Pool Training Simulator is a practice tool, not an arcade game. A deterministic physics engine uses regulation ball, pocket and table sizes (7, 8 and 9-foot tables, slow to fast cloth) and models sliding and rolling, follow, draw, stun, side spin (English), throw and cushion behaviour. • 3D table or classic top-down view, pinch to zoom, camera follows the cue ball. • Shot Lab: place balls anywhere, aim to 0.05°, set spin and power, and compare the predicted path with what really happens. Save shots, replay them, share them as a file. • 30 lessons and 8 drills, beginner to advanced, each showing how to set the balls up on a real table in diamonds and millimetres. • Full WPA rules for 8-ball, 9-ball and 10-ball: call shot, push-out, ball in hand, three-ball break rule and more, with a Rules page in plain language. • Play solo or against AI opponents with their own personalities. Races to any length, match history with replays. • Nearby play: a friend on the same Wi-Fi finds your game and joins; others can watch. • XP level and ten skill estimates that show what to work on. • Light and dark mode, left- or right-handed controls, large text. In 21 languages. No ads. No account. No tracking. Your data stays on your device. Skill estimates are in-app simulator estimates, not a certified real-table assessment.
