What Can an ACS Instructor Teach You That You Can’t Learn on Your Own?

Every pool player, from casual hobbyists to competitive league members, hits a point where progress stalls. You start to feel stuck, missing shots you used to make, repeating the same mistakes, and losing focus during important games. It’s not for lack of effort. You’re practicing, you’re showing up, but you’re not improving.

At Steve Hansen Billiards, we offer private and structured billiard lessons for players of all levels. With decades of experience and multiple professional certifications, Steve provides more than just tips, he delivers a path to real, long-term improvement.

Instruction Rooted in Experience and Certification

Steve Hansen is a respected ACS instructor (American CueSports Alliance) and also holds PBIA Master Instructor credentials. That means he’s not only trained to teach the game correctly, but also brings years of tournament experience and instructional success into every session.

Many players have never had a coach evaluate their stance, aim, stroke, or strategy. That’s why they plateau. Steve breaks down your mechanics, works with you one-on-one, and teaches you how to correct your weaknesses and build on your strengths.

Whether you’re preparing for league matches, trying to beat your regular group, or starting from scratch, learning from a certified instructor helps you avoid bad habits and learn the right way.
