Dear friends: Software Development
BarCueTable was designed carefully using real measurements ofa 7 ft regulation table. It has a playing surface of 40" x 80" with the same sized pockets as found on a 9 ft pool table. For comparative studies, one can switch a layout on a 7ft table to one on a 9ft table by changing the URL header from http://CueTable.com/B/ to http://CueTable.com/P/ . There are a lot of bar tables around the US and we believe it is important to provide a tool for fellow bar players to describe shots. In addition, to encourage communication between bartable players, we have created a Bartable Talk section in CueTable Public Library where you can post a BarCueTable Layout to share with people around the country.
Cut-Angle Calculator
Cut-Angle Calculator will be the first installment: There are a cue ball and an object ball on the table. One can drag them around to get an instant calculation of the cut angle, the parallel projected ghost ball overlap percentage and the extended aiming line/tangent line markings on the rail. The goals of the new Cut-Angle Calculator: 1, To Help the Current Biliard Education -Fellow billiard instructors and players can use this free tool to visualize shots and to encourage further aiming studies. 2, To Bring Billiards into Education- High school students can use this fun teaching aid when they are learning trigonometry. We would like to invite high school teachers and associated educators to work on lesson plan ideas. Together we can bring pool back to school and get more younger minds interested in our sport.
CueTable Public Library Updates
After a few in-depth discussions with educators in our sport, we came to realize 90% of pool players today are at C and D level. It is hard for them to ask questions and get proper answers from professional educators. We have created a section called "What to do here? " at CueTable Public Library. Currently there are numerous BCA certified instructors who have kindly committed to help by providing professional instructions in this section of the Public Library. We are pleased to know CueTable has been an important tool in your learning. It will be very helpful to even more people if the layouts get archived in an organized fashion. We understand people all have their own favorite places to be on the Iinternet. We simply ask you to save a link in the Layout Despository section of CueTable Public Library, after you have used CueTable in rec.sport.billiard, AZbilliard Forum, OnePocket.org or Billiard Digest Forum. This way, you can share the layout with even more people for years to come.

In addition, I would like to form a special interest group meeting for people who would like to work together on CueTable projects. Please email us via info@cuetable.com if you are interested.

In addition, we have prepared a nice-looking lobby poster for the event. If you are within 50 miles radius of the Riviera Hotel on the afternoon of May 16th, please do make an effort to come and join this wonderful event and be part of billiard history.
Corey Dueul's Challenge on Running A Rack of Balls
Together with Paul Smith of Diamond Billiard Products, we have filmed and edited a great run by him on a Gabriels 7 ft table. We have uploaded the footage to YouTube and Google Video. All layouts have been drawn using the new BarCueTable for people to study and discuss.

We
have developed a 7ft Bar Table Version of CueTable software called
BarCueTable. It operates the same as the regular CueTable software.

While
developing prototypes for future versions of the software, we have
gathered some really a few great ideas from advanced instructors
including Tom Simpson of PoolClinics,
Jerry Breiseth of ThePoolSchool
and Ira Lee of HighRock Production.We
feel some of the prototype modules can be greatly helpful to people
so we are going to provide them to the public. 
With
great helps from Randy Goettlicher of Cue Tech, I will have a CueTable
workshop for BCA Instructors at CueTech room in the morning of May
17th and 18th. In the sesssion I will give an hands-on class on
diagramming shots, inform the latest development and discuss the
potential of CueTable software.

is honored to be part of the upcoming 
Corey
Dueul created a new game for pool. The objective is to run a rack
of balls in the least amount of strokes (similar to golf rules).
He was taking bets on running a rack of balls in 12 shots at the
Super Billiards Expos 2007. According to him, his best record was
9 on a 9 foot table. | Software Projects
