At what age should a person start to learn pool?

[BigRigTom]

I believe one should start as soon as one can hold a cue!
Even if he needs Grandpa's help as does my Grandson Riley in this picture /ccboard/images/graemlins/cool.gif

As young as possible while being tall enough not to develop bad habits in your stance and stroke.

You need to start practicing before you are smart enough to realize how pointless it is to practice experience and routine for so many hours a day (7+ for me). If I would have started playing pool when I was 17 years old I would never have continued playing it! I started at 14 and it was just in time to gain experience in the pool room. Now I can play once per month and still improve, I am 22 years now.
