Expertise:  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.
I have been a dedicated player of pool and 3-cushion Billiards for many years. I have given lessons professionally and have run and participated in too many tournaments to name, including professional events such as the U.S. Open. I am also a cue collector and student of all aspects of the game.
