“Having Great Fundamentals Is To Winning And Being Consistent What Air And Water Are To Staying Alive… You Simply Cannot Have One Without The Other ”
Looking to Improve Your Pool Game?
If You’re the Kind of Person who Likes Detailed Instructions,
Then You Will Love the Tools I Have to Help You Transform Yourself Into a
Fierce Looking and Straight Shooting Pool Playing Machine!
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
thousands of dollars and traveling the globe.
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.
You see the best player in your region and on TV and 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, luck, or just perfect timing…who knows?
You’ve seen them run out in videos and learned all 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 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 dvd on how to improve your pool game fast!
Not all the wacky theories and wild ideas that are off base and coming
from someone who can’t compete with the world’s best players. Only the best pro stuff that 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.
In it 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.

“For those of you who might not have ever seen Max play, he possesses the soundest fundamentals I have ever seen, I would highly recommend any advice/instruction he has to offer.”

“Max, I honestly felt that my pool game had hit a rather large plateau. No matter what it was I tried to do differently, the game just felt the same. Then as if by sheer happenstance I came across your website. Watched your short videos and went through your boot camp and felt I would be a fool not to purchase your DVD set. I have watched them several times to ensure that I have taken in all that you have had to say and show me. My game has improved to heights that I never thought would be possible this quickly. You truly are a master of your sport and I greatly look forward to one day being able to shoot on the same table as you. Thank you for all your help and keep up the great work.

“Max Eberle has flawless fundamentals and a deep knowledge of the game of pool. He also has a great understanding of the mental aspect of the game, and is a terrific teacher. I could think of no better person to instruct you in this complex and beautiful game.”

“Max just wanted you to know how much I
enjoyed your Powerful Pool DVD. As an experienced player I thought my
fundamentals were good. You have retooled me with VERY positive results
already achieved. Thanks!!”
Rod Neely
“Working at it now, realized that when I had changed my stance to the “modern snooker stance” last year summer, it messed up my game. now in undoing all of that and working on my alignment I can feel and see the difference, not coming as 2nd …nature yet, however the feeling is coming back as well as the results – only after 2 days! (smiled for the 1st time this year, literally).
Thanks for an excellent DVD, wish I had it before I took the brits advice. Should be #1 on anybody short list of dvds to get.”
Alexander P. Chang
Kingston, Jamaica
“Yea I’ve been playing heavy for about 3 years now, which realistically isn’t long
at all. However I’m the type of person that doesn’t like to waste time.
If I’m gonna invest time and effort into something its because i want
it to be worthwhile. I have bought multiple books and DVDs over the past
few years, none of which really made any sense. The people that made
those products know how to PLAY pool themselves, but
Max Eberle TEACHES pool in great detail and I would greatly recommend any aspiring
champion to make one more small investment in their game. Since I bought
the Powerful Pool DVDs I have made leaps and bounds in my game that
were literally because of the simple yet CRUCIAL information in these
DVDs. Simply put: If you want to gain knowledge which directly inverts
into skill, buy these DVDs; You won’t be Disappointed!”
Dustin Ragsdale

“If you are serious about mastering fundamentals, I can’t say enough on how much knowledge Max will impart to you and your game! With a committment to practice You’ll see amazing results, almost instantly!
…Hey Max, I’m getting much better @ finding the aiming/stroking line! today I just threw balls up! and started shooting straight down the rail! It was amazing to me how everything I’ve learned from disc one made the shot feel so much more natural! whether I made or missed the ball! I pretty much made a lot of them, but hey! I’m not gonna sit up here and act like I didn’t miss any! LOL! For
me, I am getting the distinct feeling when I am in line with my shot!I’ve never really had that feeling until a week or so ago! so I know your instruction is working! and I am grateful that someone of your caliber and experience really wants to help ALL players, at all levels! I believe in a couple of months people are really gonna start to notice how I am hitting, and pocketing balls! I still haven’t quite got the stance down but I am learning to put my right toes on the stroking line and I seem to have more consistency, and success!
I am viewing disc two, but realize that I haven’t mastered the basics yet!…. but I’m getting so much useful
information, I find myself trying to incorporate it all! I know it all will one day be in place so for right now, I have to keep reminding myself that I have to take small steps to walk, bigger steps to run, and
full steps to sprint! Take care! M.E. and I’ll keep you posted!”Ed Sellers
Van Nuys, CA
“Max, I purchased the dvd set about two weeks ago. and already have seen great improvement in my game. I have always been a decent player but had reached a plateau and could not figure out why I was not improving.
The answer was the basic …fundamentals that you teach in the dvds. Secrets that I had never learned. Now I am concentrating on aligning my shots properly and all my shots are going in on a regular basis and my cue ball control has also improved greatly.
I recently played a couple of players that I used to have trouble beating and this time I beat them rather easily. Hope there may be another set of dvd’s on the way.”

Here’s what I really mean by “best pro stuff”
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.
Ok so who am I and why should you listen to me? And where do I get off telling YOU how to improve your pool 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.
Willie Mosconi and me at 16.
Me shooting as a youngster with my brother Stephen.
Pop still with the magic touch in his 80?s
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
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.
En route to 2006 WPA World 14.1 Tournament 3rd place finish
Undefeated Champion at Battle of Los Angeles, Pro Only Championship 2008, at Hard Times Billiards, Bellflower, CA.
Winning the Louisiana 9-Ball Expo at Cuesports in Thibodaux, Louisiana. One of 6 regional titles so far in 2010. Broadcast live on the BigTruck show at www.PoolActionTV.com
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 Championship with 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.
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.
