Visualize
See where the cue contacts the ball and how that choice changes the shot.

01 · The Idea
See it. Understand it. Master it.
Pocketing balls is only the beginning. Winning comes from controlling the cue ball. Bank Shot Buddy turns invisible ideas—tip position, spin, speed, rebound angle, and route planning—into a visual training language players can use at the table.
Practice
Work through structured repetitions built around real game situations.
Replay
Review the decision, compare outcomes, and turn feedback into instinct.
02 · Interactive Training Ball
Choose a contact point. See what changes.
Tap a colored reference on the ball—or use the controls below—to explore the purpose of each contact point.
Forward rotation
Follow
Strike above center to create forward rotation. The cue ball continues after contact, helping you move naturally into the next position.
Open the follow lesson →03 · How It Works
From explanation to instinct.
Bank Shot Buddy gives every training session a clear cycle: choose, predict, shoot, review, and repeat.
Place the tip
Select the cue-ball contact point that matches the reaction you want.
Predict the route
Use angle, speed, and spin to visualize the path before the stroke.
Practice the shot
Reproduce the decision on a real table with a specific objective.
Replay and improve
Compare the intended route with the result and build repeatable control.
05 · Training
Train like you play.
Lessons are organized around the decisions players actually face: controlling speed, choosing routes, escaping safeties, banking with purpose, and planning more than one ball ahead.
Cue Ball Control
Stop, follow, draw, side spin, and speed control.
Banks & Kicks
Use diamonds, rebound geometry, and speed to predict paths.
Pattern Play
Build routes that simplify the table and preserve options.
Safety Play
Learn two-way choices, escapes, and cue-ball separation.
Daily Challenge
One focused situation designed to keep practice moving.
Replay & Evidence
Capture attempts, compare results, and document progress.
