Billiards Coach

Billiards Coach

A shot recommendation app for billiards practice.
• Supports 4-ball, 3-cushion, pool and Chinese 8-ball
• Free recommendations for every layout, no sign-up needed
• Route, contact, spin and power shown as diagrams
• 18 languages, for phones and tablets

Choose the game and table size.
Select a ball, tap its new position on the table, then fine-tune with the arrows.
Get advice, then select a recommendation to see the path, contact thickness and where to strike the cue ball.

At least 3 cushion contacts before the second object ball. White or yellow can be the cue ball.

American 9/7 ft tables, 57.15 mm balls. Advice selects an easy remaining ball without numbered-ball order.

Chinese 9 ft table, 57.15 mm balls. Open table: any ball except 8. After choosing a group, clear your group before the 8. No called pocket is required. This is shot advice, not break, turn or match management.

One-ball advice: in pool and 8-ball, place the cue ball and target ball, choose a pocket, and view thickness, tip position and power guidance. One-ball advice uses 1 credit from the first result. Reopening an already viewed result for the same layout does not use another credit.

Predicted paths do not guarantee success. Jump shots, massé and collision-induced throw are not supported.

For each layout, the first two 4-ball recommendations and the first 3-cushion, pool and 8-ball recommendation are free. Purchase 100 views beyond each game’s free allowance. The free allowance varies by game. Opening a paid recommendation for the first time uses one credit; reopening it on the same layout does not. Credits do not expire, and five recommendations are not guaranteed.

No app account or sign-in is required. Recovery of remaining uses depends on restoring your user identifier through Google backup or device transfer. If this identifier is not restored after uninstalling the app, clearing app data, or changing devices, remaining uses may be lost. Purchase history in the same Google Play account alone does not guarantee recovery.

Use the same app on Android phones and tablets. The display adapts to the screen size.

Recent changes:
Improved three-cushion advice by excluding routes that depend on collisions between object balls. Similar routes are combined, keeping the more reliable recommendation.
