How our pool lessons work
Free 30-minute intro session
Free
We talk through your level, your goals and how you practise today, agree on a first goal and decide together whether lessons fit. One per new player, no obligation.
Video analysis lesson
On request
You film a short session following our guidelines. You receive a structured written assessment of your stance, alignment, bridge, delivery and routine, with prioritised fixes.
Analysis + follow-up review
On request
The full analysis plus a second review after you have practised the plan, so we can check what changed and set the next targets.

Why take lessons
Lessons vs learning alone
| Learning alone | With lessons | |
|---|---|---|
| What to work on | Guess from videos and forums | Priorities based on your own footage |
| Progress | Feels better or worse | Scored drills you retest |
| Practice time | Spread over everything | Focused on the biggest gains |
| Feedback | None | Written assessment and follow-up |
Are online pool lessons as good as in-person lessons?
For most technique and practice problems, yes. A clear video from behind and from the side shows stance, alignment and delivery well, and you get a written plan you can re-read. Some things — like feel for a specific table — still need your own time at the table.
Do you offer pool lessons near me?
Our lessons are online, so they work wherever you have access to a pool table and a phone to film with. There is no travel and you can practise on your usual table.
How much do pool lessons cost?
The intro session is free. Prices for analysis lessons are confirmed by email once we have reviewed your enquiry. Members get special discounts on personal coaching.
I'm a complete beginner. Are lessons worth it?
Beginners often gain the most, because good habits are easier to build than bad ones are to fix. Start with the free session and the free skill test.
What do I need for a video lesson?
A phone, a pool table and decent light. We send recording guidelines: film down the line and from the side, with a few minutes of set shots.
Do you teach 8-ball, 9-ball and 10-ball?
Yes. Fundamentals are the same across American pool games; the plan then adds game-specific patterns, safeties and breaks.
