What the settings do
Shot
The shot you’re practising from the 3-bar, and the words follow it: Straight · Middle · Long on the
pull and the push, Push side · Middle · Pull side on the snake. On the pull and the push a man always
starts on the straight; on the snake, in the middle. The other stands well off him.
Fakes
No fakes: the first move is the real one. Some fakes: about a third of reps start with a twitch that
comes straight back. Lots of fakes: most reps, sometimes two. Shoot the real move, not the twitch.
Reps
How many reps in a set: 10, 25 or 50. Each rep runs Ball in position, Ready, Begin, then the drill.
The screen stays awake while it plays.
Table
The table you play on. Tables aren’t quite the same size: the men’s feet, the ball and the goal differ
by a few millimetres, so the room a ball has to split the defense changes a little. The goal always fills
the screen; the ball and the men are drawn to that table’s sizes.
An estimate is a size the maker doesn’t publish: the norm for tournament tables.
Sound
Speaks the cues and the answer out loud in your phone’s voice, so your eyes can stay on the table.
On an iPhone, turning it on wakes the voice.
Full screen
⛶ fills the screen with the goal. Prop the phone sideways above the goal, and ✕ to come back.
On an iPhone, Safari keeps its bar on screen; open Foos App from your Home Screen and the goal gets all of it.
