What Students Are Saying
Real results from real players, from beginners to competitors.
I came in never having held a cue before. After a few sessions with Darren, I was pocketing balls with confidence and actually understanding the basics of position play. His teaching style is incredibly clear and patient.
Alex Rivera
Bushwick
Darren broke down my stance and stroke mechanics in the first lesson alone. I've been playing for years but learned more in one hour than I had in months on my own.
Marcus Jefferson

Super professional, great vibe, and the booking process was seamless. Already booked my next 3 sessions.
Priya Kapoor
Williamsburg
I had a two hour lesson with Darren that was incredibly productive. He gave me tips that provided immediate results, and tools that I could incorporate into my game. A great communicator and listener. And an observant instructor. I've already been recommending him to friends and team mates. Can't wait to go back!
