  • 7ft, 9ft and 12ft tables, with pockets and cushions cut to the real specs rather than drawn by eye
  • Beat the Ghost from novice to professional, and see the english it used on every shot
  • Buying Pro, push notifications and haptics are in the phone apps only

How it works

Three taps to a better shot

  1. 1

    Shoot the table

    Stand anywhere at the rail and shoot. One photo with all four corners of the cloth in frame — the angle is handled for you.

  2. 2

    Get the read

    Every ball is located and the layout is corrected for your camera angle, so the geometry is honest — not a guess from a skewed photo.

  3. 3

    Run the table

    A numbered sequence with the pocket, the speed, the spin, and where the cue ball needs to land for the next one.

Built to be trusted

It tells you when it can’t see

Most apps will confidently invent an answer from a bad photo. RackRead won’t. If the balls aren’t clear, the table is cut off, or someone’s leaning across the shot, it says so and coaches the retake instead of guessing.

A wrong runout you trust is worse than no runout at all.

Features

A whole coaching staff in your pocket

Read My Table

Photo in, runout out. The full sequence with pockets, position play, and the thinking behind each shot.

Watch Mode

Point your camera at the table and leave it there. The read updates as the game moves, spoken aloud between shots.

Shark Mode

No shot on? Get the safety that leaves your opponent with nothing — and the reason it works.

Autopsy

Show it the rack you lost. It finds the shot where the game actually turned, not the one you think it was.

Break Analysis

Grade your spread. Where the balls landed, what it left you, and how to break better next rack.

Ghost Table

A real physics table in the app. Rehearse the exact layout you photographed, or play a rack by the rules.

Drills & Daily Puzzle

Targeted practice scored automatically, plus one rack a day that everybody gets — build the streak.

Beat the Ghost

Play an AI that runs the table. Pot more than it does to win, and watch how it plans position.

Pool Therapist

Tilt, pressure, the shot you always miss when it matters. Talk it through and leave with a drill.

Under the hood

Pockets that play like a real table

The Ghost Table isn’t a cartoon. Cushions are real angled jaw facings built to Diamond proportions, so a ball can rattle the jaws and come back out — exactly like the table you actually play on.

  • Throw, cut-induced spin, and cushion rebound modelled per shot
  • Pockets scaled in ball-widths, so difficulty matches a real Diamond
  • Rules enforced for 8-ball, 9-ball, 10-ball and snooker scoring

Questions

Good to know

Do I need a special table or camera?

No. Any table, any phone, from wherever you happen to be standing. RackRead finds the four corners of the cloth and removes the perspective itself, so a normal eye-level shot from the rail works — you do not need to hold your phone flat above the table.

Does it work in a dim bar?

Usually. Low light and glare make it harder, and when the photo genuinely isn’t readable RackRead tells you and shows you how to retake it rather than inventing a runout.

Is this legal to use in league or tournament play?

Treat it as a practice and study tool. Most leagues and tournaments prohibit outside assistance during a match — check your rules before using it at the table.

Which games does it understand?

8-ball, 9-ball, 10-ball, straight pool, one pocket, bank pool, and snooker. You pick the game and every read follows those rules.
