Weekend Billiards Training Series
Session 2: Play Center Ball
April 27, 2024 @ 1:00 pm
Shooters Billiards
One of my goals as an advanced pool player and league licensee is to be a coach to my players. I want them to enjoy the sport of pocket billiards, but also learn more about the sport and elevate their play to new levels.
This 90-minute interactive training session is designed for players of ALL skill level. The focus will be on learning the importance of "Playing Center Ball". It's fun to use a lot of English when playing billiards; however, cue ball control can be challenging when you don't fully understand where the cue ball will land. Playing center ball (top, middle, and bottom) will give you a better understanding of the path of the cue ball (tangent line) after striking the object ball and the rail. By mastering your play with center ball, your skill at the table will dramatically improve. And soon you will realize that English should only be applied when necessary.
In the coming weeks, I will be scheduling additional 90-minute interactive training sessions for up to 8 players on selected Saturday afternoons at one of the local pool halls to teach those attending about different aspects and techniques of pocket billiards. Each session will be specific to a topic, and is open to anyone who wants to join me to learn more about the sport... and themselves.
And the best part about these sessions is that they are FREE! I love this sport... and I want to do my part in promoting it and growing it, and elevating YOUR game!
This training session is limited to 8 players... so sign up today to participate! Click on the link to the left to register.

FIRST NIGHT!
Treasure Coast TAP Pool League's FIRST night of team session play began on February, 21 at Shooters Billiards in Port St. Lucie, Florida. It was a fun and successful night! The players enjoyed the TAP league format and showcased their skills in this skills-based league.
We look forward to continue to grow our league and the sport of pocket billiards in the Treasure Coast. We will be offering more league formats (including Singles and Scotch Doubles divisions) and new locations. Our "Bar League" Division for 8-ball teams is in the works. The FIRST Weekend Billiards Training Series ("The Fundamentals") is scheduled for March 16th, and the class is almost full. A second training series is in the works for April and will continue on a monthly basis, covering various concepts and topics of pocket billiards.
Needless to say, we are excited to be "off and running", and look forward to seeing more players get excited about TAP. Here are a couple of photos from our first night... and we will continue to showcase our players and their accomplishments here in "The Gallery."

This 90-minute interactive training session is designed for lower skill level players who want to elevate their game. The focus will be on learning "The Fundamentals" of pocket billiards. Building a solid foundation by understanding your grip and bridge, how to properly stroke through the shot, and setting up a solid stance will be the focus of this training session... in addition to a few other aspects of the game and your setup.
