Welcome to Play More Pool!

Pool, or pocket billiards, is a wonderful cue sport and pastime that you, your family, and friends can enjoy for a lifetime.

My name is Jerry I have played pool since I was tall enough to reach the table. I am a Professional Billiard Instructor of America (PBIA) certified and verified instructor, who has captained, coached, and been a member of some of the best and worst BCA League teams in San Francisco.

I divide my time between Bozeman, Montana and San Francisco, California. Depending on where I am and where you are, we can work together to help you have more fun with 8-ball pocket billiards.

I make pool enjoyable and easy to learn for students from absolute beginners up to advanced intermediate players. My goal is to create many strong intermediate players to keep the sport vibrant and healthy. I think pool should be part of the Olympics.

I use a number of old and new techniques to help beginners immediately begin pocketing balls.

I frequently teach pool to couples and help them become more evenly matched opponents and strong team members.

Let me share the joy of competently participating in a cue sport, played all over the world, that you can pass on to your loved ones.

Two Couples Pool Lesson

We had a pool lesson with Jerry for my wife's birthday. He put together a great program that covered some basics, but also built on the skills we already had to improve each of our game. He went over practical tips like how to approach a pool table in an unfamiliar place, theory, optimal mechanics of shots, as well as strategy, with detailed attention to how we were absorbing his direction. Highly recommended.

Jerry is an outstanding pool instructor who has significantly improved my game. He expertly diagnosed my stance and stroke, identifying key areas for improvement. After implementing his advice, my performance improved tenfold! Jerry also taught me the essential pre-shot routine, known as the 5’s: Scout, Stance, Settle, Stroke, and Stay Down, which improved my game a lot as well. Beyond his exceptional teaching skills, Jerry is a fantastic person to hang out with and play pool. Unlike other instructors who focus solely on drills, Jerry makes practice enjoyable with his creative approaches. I am eager to continue learning from him and further enhance my skills!
