Billiards Guide: Carom Paths

Place the balls on the table and Billiards Guide finds the paths that fit your level.

■ For you if
· you can't see a way to score
· you see the path but aren't sure about the cue tip or the hit
· you want to practice shots in your head

■ Features

▷ Paths that fit your handicap
The same layout calls for different paths at different skill levels. A physics simulation finds every path that scores, then orders them for your handicap.

▷ Cue tip, hit and stroke
"1/2 ball, right side · lower 1.5 tips · smooth follow" — it tells you exactly where to strike the cue ball and how. The cue tip position is also shown as a picture.

▷ Watch the balls roll
Play back any suggested path with one tap and see the balls travel off the cushions. Slow it down to follow along.

▷ Practice mode and drills
Pick a path and tap "Practice this path", then tap Made or Missed after each shot — streaks and your best run are counted. Drills give you 20 problems per level, beginner to advanced: make one once for 1 star, three in a row for 2, five in a row for 3.

▷ Daily layout
A new layout every day, the same for everyone. Its analysis is free, and your daily streak is counted.

▷ My practice
Shots today, day streak, success rate by path type — and which path type is your weakest.

▷ Five & half numbers (3-Cushion)
Long-short-long paths show the 1st-rail and arrival numbers right on the table, with the start number in the details.

▷ Find my handicap
Not sure of your handicap? Enter the points and innings from your last few games to get your average and handicap. The app remembers it.

▷ Share a layout
"How would you play this?" — send the table and the suggested path as a picture and a link. Your friend taps the link to see the same layout and open it in the app.

▷ Zoom in, never get lost
Pinch to zoom for precise ball placement. Diamond grid lines, edge numbers and a mini table show exactly where you are.

▷ 4-Ball and 3-Cushion
Switching the game sets up the table and rules for you.

▷ Table sizes
Medium, Large and Small tables. Each size rolls differently, and the paths account for it.

▷ Place from a photo (beta)
Take a picture of the table and the balls are placed automatically. Drag to fix anything that's off.

▷ Learn the paths by name
Bank shot, around the table, double rail, cross-table, draw and more — each suggestion tells you what kind of path it is and which cushions it uses.

▷ High contrast
Clearer text and balls. Turns on with your device's contrast setting, or use the button in the app.

▷ Korean, English and Vietnamese
The app follows your phone's language, or pick one for the app in your phone's settings.

■ Please note
· Suggestions come from a physics simulation. Real tables vary with cloth, humidity and cue condition, so adjust by feel at the table.
· Photo placement is still improving. If a photo doesn't work well, drag the balls into place.
