These are instructional columns I wrote for national & regional billiard publications over a 15-year period. This book contains a lot of what I've learned through 20 years of teaching pool to several thousand players. Much of this hard-won insight came through hands-on work solving the real problems of real players.

Many of these topics can be found nowhere else. You know from experience how valuable a good pool tip can be. This book has HUNDREDS of good tips & useful insights.

A comment from Billiard University co-founder Dr. Randy Russell on

"Beat People With a Stick!"

"Your writing has really had a positive effect on my game. I have a full bookshelf of pool books (probably at least 40) and I've read them all. And I also read all of the journal instructional articles. But if I had to pick just one author for a serious pool player to read, it would be you. In particular, "Beat People With a Stick!" is the most useful, clear, articulate guide to elevating a serious pool player's game that exists because your writing covers what matters every time a player leans over to shoot, and it gives practical, sound advice and the rationale behind it. I have re-read it several times."
