Pool Stats Pro v1.2.0
We’ve changed some colors, improved the Clutch Shooting Percentage algorithm and added a 3-month breakout in the stats section. This enhancement will better allow users to analyze their pool games over time by viewing their stats collected with the app in 3-month blocks.
On the Quasisubjectivity of Pool Stats Data Collecting
ABSTRACT: There have been a few outcries on how we handle our data collection. Mainly, there is a notion that our data entry is subjective and will not generalize to a larger degree of players. This paper seeks to address these notions about how we handle subjective input and the policies, guidelines, and algorithms we […]

http://poolst.at/pdf2 Abstract The aim of this paper is to describe and list a new Pool Stats metric, which we call a sabermetric, after the notion that was introduced to the sport of baseball by Bill James. We define ‘clutch’ to mean a player’s performance in executing the shots needed to seal a victory throughout the […]

A Word on Shot Aptitude
There has been minor controversy surrounding this stat. Mainly gauging a player’s ability with regards to time. It is true that while time is a major factor in these equations, it’s not the only factor at hand. More goes into these equations than simply time. Time is a weight, like any other measure. Also, since […]
Shot Aptitude: A New Pool Game Sabermetric
http://poolst.at/sa We are proud to announce the release of a new pool metric (sabermetric): Shot Aptitude. It measures a player’s ability in decisive action and execution in shooting the ball. It takes in the factors of, time to shoot, shot difficulty, miss or made or foul or defense. The main contributor to this metric is […]

http://poolst.at/pm We are announcing the calculation of a new pool metric: Plus / Minus (+/-). A similar metric exists in the game of hockey where a player gets a +1 whenever their team scores while that player is on the ice; and receives a -1 whenever the opponent team scores while that player is on […]

http://poolst.at/csp We are happy to announce, after many hours of mathematical analysis, our formula for a new stat, considered a sabermetric, in the cue sports world: Clutch Shooting Percentage (CSP). This stat measures the effectiveness for a player under adversity, i.e., their ability to perform in a game/match when it matters most. A similar metric […]
Update: DSR (Defensive Success Rate)
http://poolst.at/dsr We have made a small adjustment to the calculation of DSR (Defensive Success Rate). In the following press release, you’ll see that we have added a new variable to account for the missed shots by an opponent after a player plays safe. The missed shots is weighted as to not give it the full […]

http://poolst.at/d We’ve devised a new sabermetric for pool. DSR measures a player’s ability to play safes effectively. To gain an understanding of the metric, we’ve published the formula. In easier terms, a DSR > 50 is highly effective. A DSR > 100 is extremely effectively, and illustrates that you force more turnovers, via fouls, than […]
