Testimonials
I just wanted to begin this testimonial page by thanking Stan Shuffett for his help and inspiration, without that and his guiding hand this site may not have ever happened.
Truman Hogue
Lets make this short and simple. You can't find a better teacher at bank pool than Truman. This legendary player will devulge long hidden secrets and methods for a tough game. In fact, sign me up. I highly recommend Truman.
Grady Matthews "The Professor"
On March 11, 2009 Truman Hogue visited my home teaching facility in Greensburg, Kentucky. During the course of 9 hoursTruman set up 32 various banks ranging from the simplest cross-side to the toughest "straight backs" that you can imagine.
It is an honor for me to present in diagram and text these 32 shots that cover the concepts and principles necessary for anyone aspiring to become a Kentucky Banker. I have always considered myself a strong banker, but after spending quality time with Truman I now feel as though I have joined the ranks of the true Kentucky Bankers.

I'm telling you that Truman Hogue was the only pool player on earth that I feared. Truman has retired more bank pool players than any other player in history! The sound and the speed of the banks going into the pocket was more than the normal human being could stand!
For anyone that loves bank, if you ever get a chance to see Truman play, watch carefully because you are watching the Tiger Woods of bank pool!
I still have nightmares of the matches I played him! I wake up to the sound of the banks hitting the back of the pocket!
I sincerely hope he doesn't teach all of his students ALL he knows about bank pool because it could create a epidemic!
Wade "Billy Johnson” Crane
Recognized as one of the best 9-ball players that ever played the game.
But most people don't realize that he played ALL pool games top notch. Especially bank pool.
Truman Hogue was one of the few bankers on earth that I ever feared, and I always made sure that I stayed out of his way. I decided it was better to make friends with him.
