Derek Jones

League Player & Practical Advisor

About Derek Jones

Derek Jones has been playing APA and BCA leagues for 11 years, grinding through weekly matches at local pool halls across the Midwest. He's the guy who shows up every Tuesday night, wins more than he loses, and helps teammates improve between shots. Derek writes for the 90% of pool players who aren't pros or beginners—the league players, bar room competitors, and weekend warriors who want to play better without quitting their day jobs. His advice is tested in real league conditions, not perfect practice scenarios. If it works on a coin-op Valley table with beer-soaked felt and crooked pockets, it'll work anywhere.
