Welcome!

 

This website is devoted to giving you direction and information about cue skills and pocket billiards training.  It is by no means complete, and I will improve it as the rest of life allows me.  Thank you for spending time here.

Vision Statement

 

To become a reliable and  steadfast conduit of sound billiards instruction!

 

Mission Statement

 

My purpose is to continually excel in quality instruction that rapidly produces tangible and desirable results for my students.  I will do this using my intelligence, creativity, people skills, by continually learning and applying new techniques, by finding individualized solutions for my students, and by building winning relationships with players and other instructors in order to create a better billiards environment at every level (industry, play, instruction).

a class manual:  Beginner, Advanced, Expert, and Instructor Certification

-                    Consultation:

Over the phone or in person.  Teleconference video analysis is

available.  Both the student and the instructor need a video tape (or DVD)

and a viewing station with slow motion capability.

Commonly I demonstrate ‘trick shots’, tips and techniques, and shoot as an

opponent for casual play or a “Beat the Shark” challenge format.

 

-                    Travel:

The above services are often needed elsewhere in the world.  Bringing me

to your location often saves time and/or money.  Class recommendations are

one instructor for every three students and classroom conditions.  Clinics are

very flexible, with more students per instructor.

CLASSES

 

The benefit of classes through Cue Tech Poolschool is that you will be able to learn and interact with multiple students.  For classes of four or more students, you will also have at least one additional instructor.  It can be very valuable to have more than one style of explaining the same training.  General classes are: FUNdamentals, Advanced, Expert, and the Instructor Certification and Upgrade Course.

Please visit http://www.poolschool.info for more information, and please let Randy know you found him on my web page. 

Thank you.
