About Us
Greetings,
My name is David and I love to play and teach pool and do both very well.
I only teach in person because I believe it to be the best way, plus I get to play too.
A shape player is one who thinks not only at the shot at hand, but what’s next and how to hit the one at hand to get near that place you need to be to make the following ball and so forth to the money ball.

Not only is David a great pool player and teacher but he's also a great conversationalist. His track record speaks for himself and you'll find that the time flys by effortlessly. Highly recommended.

David is a great instructor. During our first lesson, he explained the basic of pool and 9ball. He teaches shape and provide drills to improve on your game. He even offered to go with me to get my first beginner's cue stick! Great experience and can't wait for the 2nd and 3rd lesson!

David is an excellent instructor who not only improved my basic skills but showed me how to think my way through shot selection. Enjoyed my first lesson and will be back for more

I really benefited from my lesson with David. He is an awesome player and instructor. He is very kind and patient and does an excellent job of conveying his knowledge.

I was one of those people who didn’t even know how to hold a stick, after the first lesson by David I was able to perform a draw and follow shot. I learned a lot from David in just one lesson. I recommend him highly since he’s been playing for a long time. He also offered to help me buy my first cue stick as well. He’s a 5 star guy ✌🏼

I learned a lot from David in one lesson, the way he taught me is very easy to follow and execute. He did not just tell me the technique to shoot each ball but also how to plan for the next strategic move. He is a very experienced pool player as well as a trainer so the skills he shared with me are def practical and valuable.

I'm really glad to have found David to help my game. I've been playing for many years, but was looking for a skilled pro that could zero in on some performance issues I'm experiencing so I was hoping these lessons would help. The first class, David saw the issues and pointed out things I was doing and not doing that helped a lot. He is very good at explaining his process and how to learn so you don't feel talked down to. He taught me drills that will improve my game and I'm looking forward to the next lessons.

David had been playing for years and has a step by step approach to a newbie like me. I like that he does in-person lessons because he can show where and how to hit and demonstrate. He can also give great body position and cue stick corrections on the spot. He is knowledgeable and you can tell his year of experience. He also helped guide me to buy a nice cue stick. He is kind and friendly. Thanks Dave!

David is a very cool dude. He has awesome pool playing skills and he was always great at coaching my teammates on time outs. He would share his knowledge on the best way to approach a shot. He loves the game of pool and he helped us become # 1 in our league. Thanks David!

My name is David Owens I have always enjoyed playing pool. To be honest even though I have played many years my skill level has not progressed above a beginner’s, I would miss as many shots as I made. But once I started receiving coaching from David Dugally that all changed. Mr. Dugally introduced and coached me in the approach used by the great shape pool players. I would highly recommend David D.’s training for all, no matter your level of play. You will win more eight ball, nine ball or straight pool games. Mr. Dugally will teach you techniques that will allow you to run ball after ball. Because he teaches you how to make your shot with the right spin to position the cue ball so your next shot is an easy shot (or very importantly) the cue ball is positioned where your opponent has a difficult shot if your likely to miss.
