Pool Layout Journal

Log layouts in seconds.

Some layouts stay with you: the run-out you let get away, the safety you couldn't solve, the cue-ball route that was there if you'd seen it.

What it is

Save the position, not the memory of it.

Pool Layout Journal is a fast way to save the table positions that matter. Place the cue ball and the key object balls, keep the pattern, and come back to it when you have time to study what happened.

You're not rebuilding the rack. Most decisions come down to the cue ball and two or three other balls, and those are the ones you place — which is why it takes seconds instead of minutes.

It's being built alongside Pool Match Journal, so a layout captured during a match can live with the rest of the match record.

What it has to get right

Four things, before anything else.

Capture the important balls

Built first for the cue ball and the two, three, or four object balls that define a decision — not for manually rebuilding every rack.

Use the table you know

Familiar rail diamonds and table references help you place balls where they actually were.

Keep the moment

Save a position for later review instead of trying to remember it after the match is over.

Works with Pool Match Journal

Launched from a Pool Match Journal match entry, the saved layout attaches to that match context.
