Introducing a new way to perfect your game without having to think about the clock.
If you're the kind of player who stays after the set to run a few more racks, who tries the same shot ten times just to understand it, who enjoys practicing alone, then you already know what this unlocks.
This exclusive tier is not for everyone, but for the players who understand why this matters.
🎱 Lab Resident Membership
- $300/month (that's $10/day!)

This is our first step to move toward a members-only club built for people who take the game seriously.

Only 4 spots left for this round.
Once these are gone, we close this tier and review our capacity in the upcoming months.

If you’ve spent any time around the tables at Pool Lab this past year, chances are you’ve seen Farhan Mumtaz running lessons on the projector, filming training content, or coaching players remotely. Today, we are proud to officially welcome him to our Professional Instruction Team, where he will be joining Erik Hjorleifson and Waleed M. Hashem as our official instructors at Pool Lab, continuing our mission to provide structured, high-level coaching and player development.
Farhan brings elite-level credentials to Pool Lab. He is a Level 2 Certified Instructor through both the Professional Billiards Instructors Association and the ACS American CueSports Alliance. These certifications matter. They represent a deep understanding of the science, mechanics, and teaching methodology behind high-level cue sports, ensuring students receive structured, proven instruction, not just tips from a strong player.
Whether you are picking up a cue for the first time or preparing to compete, Farhan’s coaching is built entirely around your goals. His training blends strong fundamentals with modern technology to create a personalized development path that helps you improve faster, smarter, and with lasting results.
Reminder to all our members: when you book a lesson with our instructors, your table time is waived.
Please join us in welcoming Farhan to the Pool Lab team.
