About David

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 big part of your learning process is not just learning how to make shots but becoming a shape player. 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. To become a shape player, you must understand spin and speed. That is why I use a measles cue ball, it clearly shows the spin, and speed so that you can more easily see why we get the desired result. Have been the coach on numerous winning APA and NAPA teams over the last 15 years. Just a few of the things you will learn are proper bridge, how to take care of the cue ball and avoid scratches, getting shape, playing safety, etiquette, cue maintenance, jump and masse shots, how to plan your table run, and adjust when things go awry. I live in a high-rise apartment near South Coast Plaza and we have an 8-foot table here which is where I prefer to teach, it’s a quiet atmosphere where we can focus without the noise and distractions of a bar. If you want your lessons somewhere else, we can discuss them. About David D. I have been playing pool near 50 years now and have achieved a skill level 7 in the APA and won just about everything. Helped take my team to the nationals in Las Vegas and won there. Won the Top Shooter tournament in APA High Tier bracket in 8 ball on a Saturday and came back and won it in 9 ball on Sunday. If check out photos and click on images you will see me holding the cash and cue cases I won, in both images the guy on my left is the 2nd place finisher, he is holding cash but not a case. Have been the coach on numerous winning APA and NAPA teams over the last 15 years.

David's response
Christian is a great student, really pays attention. He has only been playing a month or so and is already making some good shots. He isn't scared of the money ball. A lot of beginners and even well experienced players make balls and then when they get to the 8 or 9 ball they mis, not so with Chris

David's response
Kelly really wants to learn and is very attentive, not afraid to try a shot multiple times until she gets it right. She is a raw beginner so she needs a ton of table time, but not just banging balls, actually paying attention to results and adjusting accordingly

David's response
Tress is a model student, very attentive.
After just a few try's she was lagging like a pro, and this after not even knowing what a lag is.
Despite being a beginner she is beginning to understand Speed and Spin and was able to play 8 ball position with the 8 in three different locations, while the position on the table of the cue and ball before the 8 remained unchanged.
I look forward to working with her and watching her blossom into an accomplished player.

A pleasure to work with, arrived on time and were very attentive. Eddie has great potential, he is just lacking in table time. My best suggestion for him is to watch my instructional videos and others on youtube and make time to play and practice, oh and continue with lessons with me.

I know David from taking previous pool lessons. His setup is great because it's private, easy to find, and spacious. He is patient and concentrates on the student the entire time. If anyone is looking to improve their game, regardless of their skill level, David is the teacher you are hoping to find.

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 fortunately while practicing one evening David Dugally came over and asked if I would like to play a game of eight ball. Once I started receiving coaching from David my understanding and approach to pool improved. 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 because he loves the game and generously shares his pool knowledge. 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.

Taking class with David was a pleasant and fulfilling experience. Above being a highly skilled, passionate pool player, David was attentive, detail oriented, and patient. As I being a total beginner, David went out of his way to find some materials for me to study before the class. During the class, David demonstrated postures, explained the thinking behind every shot, answered my tons of questions, and showed me couple techniques that I can drill on my own. David not only provided me a solid introduction to pool, more importantly he showed me the depth of this sport. I would highly recommend taking pool class with David, as I learned a lot being a beginner, I’m sure one at any level will benefit from David’s exceptional technique and insight.

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!

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.

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 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 ✌🏼
