Our 3-Day Weekend Intensive is comprised of three powerful one-day, small-group clinics: Rock Solid Fundamentals Controlling the Balls Secret Aiming Systems of the Pros

3-Day Weekend Intensives include all three full-day clinics and run Saturday, Sunday, Monday. The clinics are hands-on. To really improve, you have to spend time at the table, trying what we're working on. Class is not competitive. There will be players at various skill levels, each working on their own game at their own table. Several additional instructors will be on hand to help at the tables.

Click BROCHURE to read the clinic descriptions. Please note that these Intensives are generally booked up 30 to 60 days in advance, as we can only work with about 200 players per year. Attend with a friend, and you each get a discount. Additional discounts for spouses & children.

Fun-oriented Beginner Clinics are given in Columbus by National Billiard Academy instructor Jim Wyant. No prior experience necessary. Call or email for details and next start date.

We recommend that everyone except raw beginners take the 3-Day Intensive. Day 1 is "Rock Solid Fundamentals." Most players are stuck at some level because their fundamentals are not strong enough to allow them to progress. I am a maniac about developing & maintaining a solid foundation of good fundamentals. Advanced knowledge is of little value without this base. If you can't make the cueball go where you want, advanced knowledge & techniques are of little value. Once your fundamentals are shaping up, "Controlling the Balls" (Day 2) is the next logical step. After that, "Secret Aiming Systems of the Pros" (Day 3) helps you put it all together into a stronger game - permanently. Most players come out of the 3-Day Intensive with enough to work on to make progress on their own for several years. BROCHURE
