I can teach you anything from fundamentals like stance, pre-shot routine and stroke mechanics to more advanced concepts such as bank and kick shots, jump shots, combinations, caroms and billiard shots. So no matter if you've never held a pool cue or you're a seasoned veteran, take your game to the next level for less than the price of a good pool cue when you bring me on as your instructor/ coach!

The American Poolplayers Association (APA) was founded by professional poolplayers and Billiard Hall of Famers Terry Bell and Larry Hubbart in 1979 as the National Pool League, which became the American Poolplayers Association in 1981. The two realized the popularity of the sport, but knew, that different from other sports, there was no existing recreational league system.

Today, the APA, also known as the Canadian Poolplayers Association in Canada and the Japanese Poolplayers Association in Japan, has grown to nearly 250,000 members and boasts more members than all other “national” leagues combined. The League is administered locally by a network of Franchise Operators, called League Operators, and is conducted weekly in a variety of both 8-Ball and 9-Ball team formats. There are nearly 300 APA Leagues throughout the U.S., Canada and Japan.

Certified Instructor

Certified Referee

I taught students of all skill levels as well as coordinating a youth billiards program. I wrote the instructional material that was used in the program as well as numerous articles for the website. I also produced, directed and was featured in a number of YouTube videos.

Lead Instructor

I have been a PBIA instructor for over 15 years as well as player for 20+ years. I am no magician, I cannot  make anyone a better pool player! However, for those that are interested and motivated, I can provide the knowledge, guidance and tools for any player to become their own coach and maximize their skills.

jp, loves the game of pool and you know he is giving you the very best he can with every lesson. i can't say that i am the best student but he has helped me immensely.

Understands Pool very well and is able to explain in a very clear way

James is an excellent instructor. He breaks down techniques into small steps to help students memorize materials quickly.

After my second lesson with Mr. James Robert, I was pocketing more balls, comfortable with holding the cue, aiming and eye coordinations. Very engaging (as I could not because my knowledge level was low). But materials were provided which I printed out and took with me to the Billiard Halls. Shots were definitely better and powerful when needed. This past lesson is a tough one to accomplish. But I am quite sure he will get me through it!

outstanding. jp really knows the game and started me with some very good basic drills after he assessed my skill level. i will be doing more.

I met with billiards instructor, James, for my first pool lesson last night at Mr. Cue's 2 in Atlanta.  He is absolutely the best pool instructor ever!  He was right on time, even a lttle early, and his skill at the game of pool was exceptional.  I've only played about 10 pool games in my entire life, and by the time my first lesson was over, I was hitting long and short shot into the pockets!  He esplains not only game fundementals, but also explains the techncal side of making a great pool shot.  James, is so smart, and his easy going personality put me totally at easy.  I was just lucky to get James as my billiards instructor.  I'm very excited to meet him again soon to continue lessons.  Thanks, James, for all your help!!!

I'd strongly recommend James.  His advice, direction and feedback were incredibly helpful.  I will definitely be scheduling additional lessons.

Very clear explanations.  Feel like I improved with just one lesson. Gave me lots to work on.  Will take another lesson.

Explained techniques very well and easy to understand. Very helpful instructions.

James is a wonderful instructor. In the first lesson he focused on a few critical issues, provided clear explanations and examples, and showed me several ways to train and improve my game.

James is very knowledgeable and his approach to teaching the game is excellent. To be a better pool player, you need a stroke and setup that works with your unique body. In addition, you need to understand the ball behavior in order to improve your aim. James ensured that I developed this throughout our lessons. James will identify your flaws and correct them. I look forward to more lessons in the future.

JP is a great instructor. From fundamentals to advanced play, he has helped me improve my understanding of the game and make substantial improvements in the short time I’ve been working with him.

After the first lesson I realized I have a lot to learn about this game.

Excellent, thorough and looking forward to more lessons

Great teaching style.  He helped my 9 yo daughter with practice tips to develop proper fundamentals.  Excellent experience.  I picked up a thing or two as well!
