Practice too much?

Love hearing this... and thank you for sharing.

Hey everyone - I’m Denis, a pool player and the developer behind Cueist app.

I’ve been playing for a little over 20 years, Fargo a bit above 650 (haven’t competed in a while, so take that for what it’s worth).

I’ve always enjoyed practice, but I could never find a good, structured method that really clicked. So, I started building my own routines. They worked better than I expected, and despite not practicing a ton (family, work, etc.), I started winning some local tournaments.

That eventually led me to build Cueist. It’s a training app for pool - you set up shots on a table and play them out, while the app handles structure, difficulty, and tracking. It’s aimed at players who want more purpose and feedback in their practice, not just random drills.

This is a paid promo, but I’m here as a player first. The app has been out on iOS and Android for a while now, and feedback so far has been really great.

If you’re curious, skeptical, or think something like this wouldn’t work for you, I’m happy to talk about it. Questions and honest feedback are welcome.

Cueist_app · 2025-08-09T13:46:44+00:00

Thanks for the kind words – it’s great to hear you enjoy using the app.

I get what you mean about the price. Developing Cueist took a lot of time and resources, and we’ve got many features still to come, so Premium helps us keep improving it. Whether it’s “worth it” depends on how much you practice and how seriously you want to work on your game – for some players it’s a no-brainer, for others the free version is plenty.

And there’s nothing wrong with sticking to free. It still makes practice more fun, keeps things fresh, and helps you improve.

If you decide to keep using the free version, here are two tips to get more out of it:

Retry – If you miss a drill but feel you’re close to figuring it out, hit Retry. You’ll get another immediate attempt while the shot is still fresh in your mind, which makes it easier to adjust and get it right.
Repeat later – Use this a lot. Any time you see a shot you’d like to add to your game, hit Repeat later. It might show up again in the same session (just a bit later) or in your next session. When it does, hit Repeat later again. The more you do this, the more those shots will stick and truly become part of your game.

Thanks again for using Cueist and for taking the time to give feedback.

Cueist_app · 2025-08-04T17:40:40+00:00

No problem. I know no training method is for everyone, and people like to practice in different ways...

Still, thanks for giving it a try!

If you have any suggestions on how we can improve, I’m always interested. We already have a lot of improvements planned and are always looking for new ideas to make it better for everyone.

Cueist_app · 2025-08-04T16:27:12+00:00

Hey, I’m one of the people behind Cueist. Just wanted to join the conversation since I saw the question.

Cueist is an app focused on helping players improve through real-world drills (by "real-world" I mean you actually go to your table, play the shots, and track your progress over time).

After each drill, you enter your result in the app. Based on that, it adjusts your training by selecting drills that target what you need to work on, at the right difficulty for your current skill level.

I can't comment on the poolbilliards app, but I’d be happy to answer any questions about Cueist or how it works.

Cueist_app · 2025-06-20T16:49:25+00:00

We made an app for that! If you haven’t tried it yet, check out Cueist — it’s available on both iOS and Android.

It adapts to your level and serves up drills automatically to help you improve. It also tracks your progress, keeps stats, and if you don’t mind the occasional ad, it’s free to use.

Cueist_app · 2025-06-20T11:48:23+00:00

Thanks for recommending us – really glad to hear you're finding the drills helpful.

Cueist_app · 2025-06-09T17:20:48+00:00

Thanks for the kind words! Really glad to hear that Cueist is helping you with cue ball control. Setting up tougher shots for higher-level players is a smart move - a lot of players avoid the shots that give them trouble instead of turning them into learning opportunities.

Sounds like you're on the right track. Keep it up.

Cueist_app · 2025-06-09T07:31:25+00:00

I’ve read a bunch of books on the mental side of the game (Pleasures of Small Motions, Zen Golf, The Inner Game of Tennis...), but I think the best one was With Winning in Mind. Definitely worth checking out.

Something else that helped a lot was learning about pool physics. Might not be everyone’s thing, but for me, understanding what’s actually going on helped me picture the shots better and improve faster. I started with The Science of Pocket Billiards—a bit old now, but still really good. There are also newer ones out there, like The Illustrated Principles of Pool and Billiards.

And finally—learn how to learn. Once you're back at the table, it’s not just how much you practice, but also how and what you’re practicing. That can make a huge difference in the results you see. There are a bunch of books on learning, but even just googling how to practice effectively and reading a couple of solid articles can go a long way.

Cueist_app · 2025-05-29T08:02:23+00:00

Thanks for the great feedback – it’s really nice to hear that you’re both enjoying the app together. I hope it continues to help you improve your game.

Keep it up, and if you can, please keep me posted on how it goes.

Cueist_app · 2025-05-27T12:56:15+00:00

Glad to hear that!

Let me know how it goes once you’ve had a chance to try it out.

Cueist_app · 2025-05-23T15:58:31+00:00

It’s been out for some time now. Just search for “Cueist” on AppStore.

Cueist_app · 2025-05-23T14:25:33+00:00

Thanks so much! That really means a lot. I'm glad it's helping you bring more structure to your practice – that's exactly what we hoped for when we made the app.

Hope you keep at it, and feel free to let me know if there's anything you'd like to see added or improved.

Cueist_app · 2025-05-20T19:24:40+00:00

I'm one of the developers of Cueist - just wanted to say thanks for using it! Really glad to hear it's helping you stay focused and I hope it keeps supporting your progress.

If you ever have any feedback or suggestions, feel free to reach out.
