Living in a condo stuffed...
Being surrounded by pool table parts makes me sad—there’s no room to set one up, and the nearest tables are just out of reach right now. But the surest way to make meaningful change is to step outside your comfort zone, analyze your reactions to new stimuli, and then make adjustments—either to correct or reinforce those reactions accordingly. I'm building this community for everyone, but also to keep my own mind in motion—motions that have become almost thoughtless from the isolation of countless repeated outcomes. I’ve mixed in a ton of other mental clutter that only complicates the analysis of action and reaction. I used to talk about using a Phillips-head screwdriver as a kind of butterfly effect metaphor. But honestly, if my future self had shown up and tried to sell me this idea, I probably wouldn’t have listened. I’m sure it was suggested at some point—but everyone wants to be the magician. But the truth is: magic only seems like magic when it’s performed with a deep understanding of the repetitive effects of isolated, practiced knowledge. It’s about movement—not exploratory guesses at what might happen. It was right in front of me, and I was blind to it for far longer than I’ve been ready to admit. Take that as gospel. Dive into my personal research and development. Trade years of trial and error for a few simple moments of patient, honest, open attention—and go straight to development.

🎱 If you’re serious about improving your pool game, you need more than tips — you need physics.
Most players struggle because they’re taught tricks instead of truth. They jump into sidespin before they can control center‑ball, and the result is predictable: ❌ Missed shots ❌ Wild cue‑ball paths ❌ Inconsistent position play ❌ Zero confidence That’s why I built a complete training system with two powerful tiers: 🟦 PREMIUM TIER — “Physics of Spin” The fastest way to build REAL cue‑ball control. You’ll learn: • Why center‑ball is the foundation of accuracy • How slight top/bottom creates predictable movement • How roll, stun, and drag actually work • Beginner‑safe position routes • How to avoid the chaos of sidespin until you’re ready This course gives you the control you’ve been missing. 🟧 TOP TIER — “Applied Cue‑Ball Physics” When you’re ready for elite‑level mastery. This advanced course breaks down: • Squirt • Swerve • Throw • Torque • Friction • Equipment physics • Predictive aiming • Advanced spin control This is just a peek at what you get when becoming a member of this community 🎯 Whether you’re a beginner or a competitor, there’s a tier built for your level — and a path to the next one. Stop guessing. Start understanding. Your game changes the moment you learn the physics behind it.

Build the Base: Why Fundamentals Are Everything in Pool
Hey PoolSkoolers, Let me tell you something straight from the felt: fancy shots don’t win games—fundamentals do. I’ve seen it a thousand times. Players chasing trick shots, banking three rails, trying to look like a highlight reel. But when the pressure’s on? It’s the player with the clean stance, the quiet bridge, and the repeatable stroke who walks away with the cash. 🧱 The Foundation: Stance, Grip, and Stroke Your fundamentals are your foundation. Without them, your game is built on sand. That means: - Stance: Balanced, grounded, and stable. You should feel like a tripod—unshakable. - Grip: Loose but controlled. Death-gripping the cue is like trying to write with a frozen hand. - Stroke: Smooth, straight, and repeatable. No chicken wings, no jerks, no drama. These aren’t just checkboxes—they’re habits. And habits become muscle memory. 🧠 Muscle Memory: Your Secret Weapon When your stroke is pure, your body learns fast. You don’t have to “think” about every shot—you just line up and let it flow. That’s muscle memory at work. It’s what lets you stay cool under pressure, shoot consistent patterns, and recover from mistakes without spiraling. And here’s the kicker: good habits lock in just as fast as bad ones. So if you’re gonna groove something into your game, make sure it’s solid. 🔁 Repetition with Intention Drills aren’t punishment—they’re your shortcut to mastery. But only if you do them right. That means: - Slow down. - Focus on form. - Repeat with purpose. Don’t just go through the motions. Every stroke is a vote for the player you’re becoming. 🎯 Bottom Line If you want to run racks, win tournaments, or just stop scratching on the 8, start with your base. Master the boring stuff. Groove the fundamentals. Because when your body knows what to do, your mind is free to play. See you at the table. —Coach
