| I have wide ranging knowledge of all the cue sports, with the exception of snooker. I can answer most questions related to playing any of the standard games such as straight pool (14.1 continuous) eight-ball, nine-ball, one-pocket and 3 cushion billiards and the variations on these games. Questions welcomed regarding technique, strategy and rules, history of the sport, pool cues and tables in general, trick shots, the mental game, practice, practice drills, pool/billiards publications, and so on. I do not answer specific questions on what brand of pool table or cue to buy or related issues. I am a player and my expertise is not product comparison. | Available

| I can answer questions related to shot-making, aiming, position play, strategies, practice, mental preparation and the psychology of the game. Also, rules as they vary from venue to venue and how to become a winning player. I have experience recovering and maintaining tables and will also answer questions related to cues and billiard equipment. However, I prefer not to make brand recommendations. | Available
