ANDREW YAWORSKI
Andrew Yaworski is a Pro/AM pool player, JFlowers ambassador and a content creator based in Edmonton, Alberta.
He has been passionate about cue sports since first picking up a cue at 16 years old. At first, snooker was his main game, playing on the 5×10 snooker table in his family’s basement. He then got into pool due to the growth of 9-ball in the ‘90s.
He has worked in multiple pool rooms as in-house staff and as a tournament director; he built his customer service and product knowledge base by working in his family’s premier billiards store, in West Edmonton Mall.
You’ve probably heard Andrew’s voice on the pool streams: He is often asked to co-host live match commentary. His public appearances also include: film, live television, radio, product expos, and charitable events.
During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Yaworski started filming himself while practicing in his 7-foot table. He then had an idea of starting his YouTube channel, “Yaworski Pool Practice,” as a platform to share his views and experiences—with the goal of helping grow the sport. With that same objective, Andrew also coaches/teaches pool fundamentals to a number of local students.
Yaworski’s practice paid off and his pool playing career has met multiple instances of success. In 2022, Andrew won the CSI Western Canadian Championships 8-Ball Singles in the Platinum Division. That same year, he took second place in the CSI Western Canadian Championships 10-Ball Singles.
Some of Yaworski’s favorite players include Jimmy White, Earl Strickland, and Shane Van Boening.
