The 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵 should allow for:
✅ No extra elevation for draw shots
✅ Plenty of room for acceleration
✅ Not so long that you lose accuracy

Note: Bridge length is the distance from the "v" where your cue rests to the front of the cue ball. A good range is around 8" - 12".

🎉 Please join me in welcoming Lita as our newest PBIA Instructor! 🎱

Lita traveled all the way from L.A. to complete her instructor training, and I'm excited to see where this journey takes her. If you're in the Hollywood area, be sure to look her up for group or private lessons. You may even recognize her from appearances in film and television! 🎬

Congratulations, Lita, and welcome to the PBIA family! 💙

2026 Junior Team USA Training Camp is officially in the books! What a weekend... ❤️🤍💙

These talented athletes worked incredibly hard all weekend! They trained, they bonded, and they had a little fun along the way. Watching their commitment to the sport is truly inspiring.

Organizing a camp like this has been a longtime dream of mine, and I'm incredibly grateful to have finally seen it come to fruition. I hope this can become an annual tradition and that even more members of Junior Team USA can join us next year.

An endeavor like this would not be possible without the incredible support of Simonis Cloth, Predator, Felt, Pool Player Perks, Olhausen Billiards, Jam Up Apparel, Pechauer Custom Cues, PBIA Instructor Ron Cox, and the Colorado Billiard Academy & Historical Museum. Please be sure to support these businesses and individuals who consistently give back to our sport and community.

A special thank you to BEF Program Director Myrriah Pierson and WPA Referee Dave Pierson for their countless contributions behind the scenes, Graham Tipton for capturing the weekend with amazing photos and videos, Ron Cox for his support both as a sponsor and instructor, and all of the parents for getting their athletes here and allowing me to be a small part of their journey.

Mission accomplished. ✅
Next stop: San Antonio, Texas, for the World Junior Championships. 🎱🇺🇸
