MillionBalls Monthly Mashup June 2024
Welcome to our third monthly update on the latest updates, from the app, our community, and the pool world.
Latest News and Updates
- Early Bird Special: We are working on adding a pro tier with extra features to the app. Everyone who registers before launch will get a special early adopter rate, so encourage all your friends to register now!
- Get Social: Follow us on Instagram and Facebook! While we can’t crown you mayor, we will offer incentives for top member referrals.
Community Spotlight: Talkin’ English
Check out Billiards Sport’s Network’s new show, Talkin’ English, focused on the pool industry and those who make it tick behind the scenes. The premiere podcast features NY Cue Club, the only private billiard club in NYC.
Upcoming Features: Experience Points and Achievements
Last month, we added levels to each drill. Based on your feedback, we are tweaking that feature to make it more convenient and flexible. Instead of choosing a level for a practice session, you will earn experience points and unlock achievement badges. And of course with experience points come leaderboards!
If you have ideas on how you’d like these features to work, don’t hesitate to reach out at info@millionballs.app.

Drill of the month
MB02: Back-cut Medium Distance is a shot that comes up often, especially when you come up a little short or run a little long of idea position. A back-cut is a shot where you are shooting the cue ball away from the target pocket. This angle creates optical illusions that leads many players to over-cut the shot.
Practice is key to learning the angle and eliminating this tendency.
