Aaron spotted a subtle but important flaw in my stroke and gave clear advice on how to adjust it. As well as some important advice on patterns and a helpful drill.

Nice to try Aaron’s lesson. He clearly loves the game and his detailed teaching shows, plus the bite-sized highlights kept me hooked, though I’d love a bit of 9‑inch table context next time.

Aaron was a great help to my team! He finds great ways to approach players of all skill levels and leave them with digestible pieces of knowledge to improve their game. He is an awesome player and teacher and every time we play I feel like I learn something.

Beginner training plan

Your first lessonIf you are a complete beginner to the game, the first thing that we will do is cover the basics of aiming and shooting shots. We will also cover the basic rules of the most common games (8-ball and 9-ball). Finally, I will point you towards some of the more useful YouTube channels that illustrate some of the concepts that we go through.

Lesson 11+At this point the sky is the limit if you've stuck with it this far. We would continue to build good habits into your fundamentals by running drills and talking through games, and we would also begin to talk more about strategy, including what to do when you don't have an open or easy shot. What we cover depends on how committed you are to the sport!

How it works

Advanced training plan

Your first lessonIn our first lesson, I will ask you for any particular areas that you've noticed you would like some coaching in. That could be your stroke, your stance, strategy, position play, cue ball control, particular shots, or really anything else that you personally have identified that you want to work on. Bottom line: The best coaching sessions are a dialogue. The more you share with me about your thought processes and what you are working through, the better I can help coach you. Adjustments for advanced players tend to be smaller and less obvious than for beginners, so we will spend more time playing through some games so I can get a better picture of your personal style. By the end of this lesson, I'll be able to offer you some small critiques for you to work on as well as a roadmap for future lessons.

Lesson 4-10Once we've spent time practicing the drills we've decided work best, these later lessons will challenge you to put those new habits to work in game situations. This will help us identify where/when your bad habits resurface, and enable us to discuss mental and physical strategies to help resist falling back into those habits under pressure.

Lesson 2-3Once we've identified some of your pain points, the next few lessons will involve drills designed to break down bad habits and replace them with good ones.

What you need to bringThere is no required equipment

What I can bringI can bring a spare pool cue and extra cue ball to practice with if necessary. Additionally, pool tables generally come in three sizes: 7, 8, and 9 foot. 7-foot tables are "bar boxes" (think coin operated tables in bars). 8 foot tables are typically what people buy to put in their homes. 9 foot tables are the professional standard and are most common for pro tournaments as well as pool halls, and as such are the most challenging to shoot on. If you come to my house, we will be learning on a 9 foot table that I own. All of this is just to say that, if you've been shooting on a table at home or your favorite bar, you should know or learn what size it is, as that will significantly affect your learning experience. For example, many people used to shooting on their smaller home or bar tables are surprised when they have a much harder time making shots consistently, or find themselves missing shots by a much wider margin, on a 9 foot table.
