And, if you're brand new to pool, get started the right way and shorten your learning curve to demonstrate excellence on the pool table!
February 1, 2025
From the desk of Max Eberle:
Dear Pool Playing Friend,
I wonder if you realize just how important specialized knowledge on fundamentals is to your pool game?
Suppose you could reap the benefits of working with one of the sport’s best ever professional players and coaches, and get the rewards of their years of hard earned knowledge and experience, without spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, paying for traveling the world, hotels, entry fees, and expenses that never seem to end.
Consider this…
Champion pool players have better fundamentals than everyone else.
Most players never make it beyond a certain point in their game, until they get the proper guidance from the right person. Without this, you could easily stagnate at one level for years on end, or get frustrated with spotty improvement and inconsistent results.
When you watch the best players in your region and the pros on TV, they make the game look so easy. Almost like they were just given some special power at birth to pocket balls and get the cue ball to land where they want almost every time.
It looks like they pretty much invented pool…but when you get to the point where it really counts, they can’t tell you a single thing that makes any sense for you. Do you know what I mean?
Yes, some of them won a bunch of tournaments. Maybe it was skill, talent, perfect timing, and even a little luck…who knows? You’ve seen them run out in videos and tried to learn their shots, watched them in tournaments…and yet you are left going back to the reality of your own game, handing over too many games and matches you know you could have won, and still you don’t know exactly what to do or how to really take your game to the next level…
So you keep practicing on what you think might be good to work on, and experience flashes of improvement... yet there always seems to be that sticking point that’s hard to get past unless you just have one of those “ON” days by sheer random luck or chance, then it’s back to normalcy.
I've had enough!
I had to do something about this and create the ultimate resourse on how to improve your pool game fast!
Not all the wacky theories and wild ideas that are off base and may coming from someone who can’t compete with the world’s best players. Only the best pro stuff that works, and works fast!
There used to be no products on the market from an authority that properly covered this most important part of the game, until I released Powerful Pool, World Class Fundamentals, followed up by Pro Pool Academy.
Inside this website, you’re going to find real foolproof methods that you can use right away, based on the proven knowledge, skill, training, and experience that I have from being a world class competitor for many years, that is guaranteed to make you a better player:
Boatloads of proven techniques and ideas that you can use right away
Easy, clearly explained, and to-the-point methods
Powerful actions that “Pool Superstars”Perform every day at the table
Drills and approaches to finely tune your skill as it advances in the program.
...Read on to discover everything you'll learn in detail...
You know how racing car engineers will keep modifying their formula of parts and design until they have only the best, soundest, most likely to win car components left in the car?
Well, it’s the same thing with playing pool. The players who have been at it for years and reached the top pro levels, have heard of everything and tried everything you can imagine, and made every mistake you can imagine.
And to reach that top pro level took insane amounts of time, money, learning, wins, losses, traveling, all nighters, road trips, match ups, trials and tribulations, observation of the worlds best, and playing against the world’s best just to get to the refined point they are at now.
After all that, such a player has figured out how to get rid of the 90% of junk that is BS or does not work and just end up with the jewels that routinely lead to success on the table.
Consider this…
The most important jewel, that will make the rest of your game always sparkle, is having refined and effective fundamentals that you can rely on. I don’t say this because I teach it, I teach it because I say it.
The problem with finding solid instruction on technique out there is that it is either: Incomplete and half baked, or is so specialized and intuitive for the person doing it that they can’t even explain to you how they do it themselves.
I have found that there are a few basic, reliable techniques that I’ve kept everyday in my own game that consistently generate great results. When I am playing pool against the world’s best, I do not have time for techniques that do not work, nor can I afford to mess around with anything that I have not proven to work time and time again.
If you’re the kind of person who loves to run the pool table in one inning, then you are going to love what my training can do for your game.
Just so you know what qualifies me to be worthy of trusting your pool game and time with me, my Grandfather Charles “Pop” Eberle was a legendary hustler who traveled the country and sent the money he made on the pool table back home to his wife Francis and kids, one of whom was my Father Rob.
Pop would regularly run 100 or more balls in straight pool and entire racks in 15 ball rotation, or “pill pool” as they called it back then. He even took the opportunity to talk with 15 time World Champion Willie Mosconi about the most important thing in playing pool.
He then taught my father Rob, my uncle Dave, cousin Ed (Sarasota, FL county champion), cousin Danny (run out player), and other family members how to play pool. My dad Rob became good enough to run 75 balls in straight pool and 5 racks of 9-ball, and the others all reached a high level as well, with my brothers Will and Stephen being able to run some racks on the table as well.
I was around the game since before I can remember and when I was 12 decided to master it and become a pro one day. Pop (along with my dad Rob and uncle Dave) took me on as a project and before we knew it at 13 I won my first youth event, at 15 my first adult 9-ball event, at 18 the BCA Junior National Championships, at 20 & 21 I won back to back National Collegiate Championships, and in 2003-2004 was a top 5 ranked male pro at years end both years, reaching as high as number 3 ranked on the pro tour.
Some of my other pool mentors include Garten Bierbower (legendary cash player who’s mentor was taught by the superstar Willie Hoppe), Nick Varner (Hall of Famer & 8-time World Champion), Chan Whitt Sr. (who’s late son Chan Whitt Jr. was a TV famous prodigy and first ever BCA Junior National Champion), Jason Bowie (esoteric sports genius & running back with OJ Simpson in college),and many other great players (the best of the best) that I’ve had a chance to learn from and compete against on a regular basis.
In that time I’ve won literally hundreds of local tournaments, several dozen regional events, 3 West Coast Championships, and several mid-sized pro events. My best finish in majors were a runner up in the 2003 Derby City Classic 9-Ball which was the largest pool tournament in the entire world, and a 3rd place in the 2006 WPA World 14.1 Championshipwith the best run average including 81-and-out vs. Johnny Archer (Hall of Fame), 127-and-out vs. Danny Harriman (2005 UPA Tour Champion), and 109 ball run vs. Oliver Ortmann (2 time World Champion and US Open Champion).
The list of players who have lost matches to me reads as the who’s who of the professional pool world, including 20 WPA Sanctioned World Champions and dozens of more major title holders.
My high runs stats are 10 consecutive break and runs in 9-ball, 196 balls in 14.1 straight pool, and 15 and out in one pocket, one video of which is posted below…
Someone once said, “those who cannot do, teach.” That could not be further from the truth because I can do, and I can teach. And when looking for a teacher, it’s always a good idea to find someone who can actually achieve the results that you are looking to achieve, and especially who has proven their skill by beating the world’s best in pro competition.
