What do my students have to say?
LearnPoolNow.com is the home of The Dojo pool school. Become a black belt at pool and gain the confidence to crush your opponents!
​
The Dojo is a community of badass pool players learning the secrets of the mental game. The essential skills you'll learn in this course will turn you into a dominant force at the pool table. Each week during the 12-week course, we have group classes and open practice sessions as well as individual lessons. Just like a martial arts dojo, this course gives you all the tools and support you need to advance your game and humble your rivals.
My mission is to spread the joy of pool to those who seek it.
Why take pool lessons?
Learn from an experienced teacher.
Have you ever been given conflicting or even bad advice from other pool players, even if they are quite advanced?
Have you been frustrated when trying to learn a technique (like how to put backspin on the cue ball)?
Have you ever had a burning desire to win against a certain player, but keep coming up short?
Do you have questions about pool that you just can't answer?​
​
A professional pool instructor can cut through all the confusion. I'll give you accurate and valuable advice that will immediately help your game and set you up for long-term success.​​
Meet Your Instructor
Taylor competing in the Master's Division of the 2024 NAPA Colorado State Championship.
​​​Hi, I'm Taylor. I have 12 years of competitive pool experience and I currently compete with the top players in Colorado. I've played in APA since 2013 and NAPA since 2019, and I've competed in hundreds of cash tournaments throughout Colorado. I love this beautiful game, and I want to share my passion with you.​
Fundamentals
For beginners and advanced players alike, solid fundamentals are key to success. I teach the three pillars of pool fundamentals: stance, bridge, and stroke.
Cue Ball Control
As your game improves, you'll need to learn how to control the cue ball. That's when pool really starts to get fun. It's my favorite part of this game.
The Mental Game
There's more to pool than the technical skills required to make shots. I teach mindfulness techniques that are essential to success and continued improvement.
Strategy
Many players have said that pool is like chess. Winning isn't just about making balls. I can teach you to control the game using the skills you have at your level.
Advanced Techniques
Do you know how to legally jump the cue ball? What about massé shots? Kicks and banks? Do you know how to apply english? I can teach you all this and more!
Personal Growth
Pool is so much more than just a fun game. I see pool as a spiritual practice like yoga or martial arts. The lessons learned at the table apply to every area of life.
My Teaching Style
"If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough."
Albert Einstein
I recognize that there is a huge difference between knowing a skill and being able to teach it. I agree with Einstein, which is why I am always working to refine and improve my teaching methods. Teaching pool has made me a better player and a better person. And I think that's awesome!
I have been teaching students of all levels since 2019. My lessons are customized to your skill level and designed to give you the tools required for long-term success. I explain and demonstrate ideas in a simple, easy to understand way. I can work with you to make sure you understand before we move on to the next topic. I will introduce new concepts and ideas at the appropriate time, so you will always be learning new things but won't be overwhelmed.​​
​
I specialize in teaching beginner and intermediate league players who are serious about improvement (APA 2-5). I also love working with novice players to develop a solid foundation, and I've helped advanced players break through to the expert level.
