Australian born Paul Rodney Turner (a.k.a. BATman) invented the Billiard Aim Trainer™ (BAT) in 2004 while contemplating a method to teach his billiard students how to understand and apply the three-cut aiming system he learned as a boy while practicing snooker.

Paul started playing pool in 1973 at the age of 10, on a 7-foot particleboard pool table in his family’s garage. In 2006, Paul founded the Billiards Training Company to manufacture and sell his invention, the Billiard Aim Trainer™ http://www.billiardaimtrainer.com, which is endorsed by the Billiards Congress of America (BCA) and used by professional coaches and thousands of amateur players all over the world.

Paul continues his study of the art and science of billiards, and has been personally trained by world champions Allison Fisher and Gerda Hofstatter, as well as by top touring pro, Max Eberle, and Master BCA instructor, Jerry Briesath.

In 2010, Paul released “The World’s Best Aiming System for Billiards”.
