It is more challenging to get a good hit with any of the spins, I think particularly because players tend to overgrip the cue on or before contact. I find that so long as I keep a consistent grip and finish my stroke, I'm usually fine.
I read on AZ, though, that it will always buzz when you are shooting over a ball. Something to do with the orientation. But those are speciality scenarios.Last edited by Csmith; 11 October 2017, 04:52 PM. Reason: Edited for clarity *it buzzes when you are shooting OVER a ball

To be honset, most training aids are useless because they promote lower level players making self corrections. They also put you in situations or ask you to do things that you wouldn't do in a proper game. For an example, you wouldn't play with the sight right cue, nor would you use those lines on it before every shot. The digicue is better in that it slides on your own cue, and you barely notice the added weight. But as I mentioned, even with the version that tells you exactly what you did wrong, self correcting is not going to be easy. I mean, I used to hit the cue ball and my cue would be pointing to the left of the shot line. So obviously I was cueing accross the ball, but it's not easy to fix on your own, which is why without a coach the digicue will probably do two things,
1. Remind you of how unstraight your stroke is,
2. Make you accustom to playing with the butt of your cue buzzing.

so it would be a help for smooth cueing only. it won't help with potting

It's important to understand how to properly fix the issues it calls attention to.
At the highest setting, it's pretty sensitive so you have to hit the ball very well in order to keep it from buzzing each shot. When I first tried it was interesting to have it buzz on shots where I felt my cueing was fine. But when I do manage to keep it silent my stroke feels pretty good.
It is essentially like having someone with you during practice letting you know THAT you screwed up but without telling you HOW. So imagine having the most perceptive but unhelpful coach with you at at all times.

digicue
does it help and improve our stroke?
how does it even work?
it buzzes when you go accross the ball, which means it might calculate the force from the cueball to the cue and then alerts

Detects (with vibrations)
• Jab strokes
• Steering
• The unconscious movement of the body in a twisting motion
