## Description

How Fast Is Your Break? Break Speed Powered By Predator can tell you!

To use the app, set your phone on the rail and tap the screen. Now you're ready to break. Tap the screen once again after your break and the app will display your Break Speed speed.

Break Speed is more than 10x the accuracy of a radar gun and has become the standard for break shot speed measurements, privately and professionally. With such high precision, you can use Break Speed to provide that feedback you need to improve your breaks. Break harder and more consistently with Break Speed.

Don't worry about others breaking around you or other pool hall noise. Even shouting players won't fool our Break Recognition technology.

Find out why professional pool players are using and recommending Break Speed to others.

Our collaboration with Predator has been very effective. It's been great to work with a team that understands the science of billiards. The Predator R&D team has been testing the application along side their own speed measurement equipment and the Iron Willie robot,  following a number of testing sessions, the Predator R&D team found the application so accurate that a partnership in pool science began.

"The application is really spot on. During my many testing sessions with the Predator Team there was very little deviation between the Predator testing equipment and the application," said Predator Pro Mike Dechaine.

If you're a serious player, and you don't have Break Speed Powered By Predator, what are you waiting for?

## Review summary

Break Speed is praised for its simple, easy-to-use interface and portability, letting small groups quickly measure break speeds on the fly. Users enjoy quick readings. However, recurring drawbacks include sensitivity to ambient noise and room conditions causing variability, missing history/stats features, and device compatibility issues on some models. Many request per-player profiles, data saving, speed deletion, and averaging. Overall, it’s a fun concept with mixed reliability and feature gaps.
