Meet Domini The Drill Inst

By Dominic Espostito Dominic Esposito became a Professional Pool Player at 19 years old, after 5 years of lessons with Straight Pool Champion, Thomas P. Parker, in Cleveland, Ohio.

He married at age 21, but, his wife didn’t want to be married to a professional pool player. With that, he agreed to stop playing pool altogether.

Some 25 years later, after the loss of his first wife, he married Linda. On the way home from a visit to his daughter’s college union hall, Linda commented about his having played pool with the students. “I didn’t know you liked playing pool and I think it’s great if you wanted to play pool.” That’s all Esposito needed to hear that summer night in 2000.

While also finishing his doctoral studies at the time, he connected with the well-accomplished pool instructor, Tom Ross, to start a new coaching relation and practice regimen. By 2003, Esposito turned his practicing into a book and DVD called, Pro Skill Drills, volume No. 1. 54 Practice Drills for Cue Ball Speed and Position Control. This and other products that followed were endorsed by pool greats such as 8 Time World Champion and BAC Hall of Famer, Nick Varner.

All Esposito’s drill books are a tribute to his pool teacher Tom Parker. By 2005, Esposito had won his 3rd consecutive BCA 10 Ball Ring Game Championship, while continuing to play in many small local events. That same year to date, Esposito is a Columnist for POOL & BILLIARD Magazine.

For nine years he was endorsed and sponsored by 61
