A Modern and Interactive Approach

Billiards is a game of precision and strategy that requires regular training to improve. Ball in Mind reinvents this approach by integrating technology into the learning process. Using a video projection system, players can visualize guidelines, trajectories, and exercises directly on the table to enhance their technique.

The projection does not replace classic training, it gives it a support. The aiming line, the landing zone and the score appear where the player is already looking, on the cloth, without having to look away from the table to check a sheet.

One of Ball in Mind's key strengths is its educational approach based on visualization. Instead of relying solely on theoretical explanations or paper diagrams, players can see the effects of their shots in real time and make instant corrections. This immersive experience fosters faster understanding and immediate application of the concepts taught.

Every figure comes with its instructions, displayed next to the balls: what has to be achieved, with which spin, and where the ball should finish. Correction is immediate, since the gap between the expected path and the actual result can be read on the table itself.

Every player has different needs and goals. Ball in Mind allows exercises to be tailored to various skill levels, from beginners mastering the basics to advanced players refining complex techniques. The diverse range of exercises and training modes enables everyone to progress at their own pace.

The software keeps track of what has been passed. Each player finds their scores, their progress and their character again, so several people can share the same table without mixing up their results.

Billiards clubs and instructors can also benefit from this technology. Ball in Mind provides an innovative teaching aid that simplifies learning and keeps players engaged. The interactive and entertaining nature of the software motivates players to train more and stay committed to their progress.

The content from the billiards school of the French Billiards Federation, a partner of Ball in Mind, gives coaches a ready-made progression, from the first shot up to the award tests. They do not have to build their own catalogue of drills.

Unlike other training solutions that require complex sensors, Ball in Mind operates with just a projector and a computer. This accessibility allows all billiards enthusiasts to enjoy the benefits of technology without expensive or complicated installations.

A short-throw projector, a mini PC, a ceiling mount: the equipment list fits in three lines. Everything is controlled from a phone, which saves walking over to a keyboard between shots.

Ball in Mind doesn’t just enhance training; it redefines the way billiards is taught and played. With regular updates and continuous improvements, this tool is set to play a central role in the future of the sport.
