The System

Why The Ryder Method Works

Most players miss because they aim at the wrong thing. Robert's proven system gives you reliable reference shots that work on every table, every time.

  • 1
    Find your center ("B") — identify the center line between cue ball and object ball.
  • 2
    Aim at "A" — the precise contact point that pockets the ball consistently.
  • 3
    Control your stroke — high center ball, follow, or draw to shape your next shot.

What Players Are Saying

Real results from real pool players who learned the Ryder Method.

★★★★★
"I learned more in one session with Robert than in years of playing on my own. The Split the Difference system finally clicked and my run-out percentage went up noticeably within a week."
Mike T.
Portland, OR
★★★★★
"I bought the PDF guide on a whim and ended up reading it three times. The diagrams are so clear — it explained the aiming system better than any video I've watched online."
Sandra K.
Beaverton, OR
★★★★★
"The Ryder Method audiobook is great for listening while I warm up before league night. Keeps the fundamentals fresh in my head. Highly recommended for any serious player."
