Teaching pool including pool physics and billiards math is my fulltime job and when I’m not teaching I am designing new concepts to defeat those myths that seem to be instilled in those playing this game.
I have worked with some universities showing students and faculty how the physics of pool work. They are always surprised when they see how easy it is to draw the cue ball back the length of the table!
I really like your teaching style online, very clear and simple. What fun concepts have you devised to teach pool physics and math?
I teach formulas for everything. The pool math for most is simple—you add or subtract and divide. I take it one step further and show you how to multiply some numbers for kicking… This works so well I have had students offer to pay me extra not to teach this information to anyone else!
For me to try and explain how you multiply numbers here would probably confuse most players, because you need to see how easy it works in visual form, and even when you write out something that players have never seen before, it confuses them without the comfort of an enthusiastic instructor at hand, because it is not normal in their way of thinking.
Please tell our readers about your extensive pool and billiards book and video library.
As anyone interested in playing pool knows, we all buy books and videos to help us with other game. I personally own over 100 books about playing pool and over $8,500 in videotapes in my personal library.
I use these all the time for research when I want to change a system or see how one instructor teaches his material, then I develop a total new concept based upon what in my opinion they are not teaching about that subject.
