Don't use your balls at the club house.

Nice tables but the balls are old and beat. I just wanted a decent cue ball.
I was back at it today for a few hours. I did find two nail heads out a bit. Tomorrow I will bring a small hammer and a punch to tap them in. It’s just a senior community club house.

Any videos of Dr Dave in an actual match?

I did some searching on the first 4 of the super improvers (400 to 500+ in two years).

E is from Netherlands and plays in a lot of tournaments at several different rooms/clubs, including regional ranking events. He started playing (getting games into FargoRate) summer 2022--a year before the 400 rating and has played a lot since

J1 is from Edmonton Alberta CA and plays in League and lots of handicapped tournaments --medium and hot handicaps. I saw a congratulatory post after a tournament that referred to "Young J1," like "Way to GO! Young J1"

J2 is from Florida and plays multiple nights of USAPL league and frequent tournaments (525 & U, 550 & U, etc). I saw a congratulatory post from his League Operator, saying "Welcome to the 500 Club J2! This player has improved SO much over just a few short years..."

Y is from Texas and plays multiple nights of Dallas USAPL league. Tournaments are mostly CSI events --Louisiana and Texas. I saw a congratulatory post from his league operator for qualifying for the regional event

Motivation + Opportunity + Supportive Community might just be a winning combination...




I suspect most of these players are playing league (sometimes multiple nights) and tournaments as well. I checked four players who had arounf the average (875) number of games played, and all four had both leagues and tournaments

In another post I predicted a right skewed bell curve, which is exactly what that is.

You need someone who can teach and play. Not one or ther other. Thats why Anthony Beeler and Joe Tucker have my vote as the best instructors in the US right now. Quite literally, I've been to about everyone. I know Beeler has worked with Sam Henderson, Ricky Evans and Cal Boll. Look at what they have done. Tucker is amazing with spin systems and innovating new products. These two are far above the rest. Not even close imho!

The guys were good players to begin with.

And in my experience, what good players do is listen to the instructor and throw out a lot of it and just keep the few things they feel are valid or apply directly to them. Unless an instructor hand-raised them from pups I'm don't think your point is valid. I've taken lessons from world champions and they do not get credit for my current level of play. What I got from those guys were interesting experiences, a few tidbits I still use to this day, and a couple of "a ha" moments that validate what they told me.

It's on the player: their base talents, work ethic, and how self aware and insightful they are of their own game.

Vann Corteza goes undefeated to claim WNT Rally In The Shenandoah Valley title

azhousepro
The Philippines’ Lee Vann Corteza has gotten off to a slow start this year. By the end of July in 2024, which was his second-best recorded year with us since he first appeared in our database in 2002 (2013 was his best), Corteza had already brought home more than 75% of the cash he would earn before year’s end. If he’s working to best his 2024 income in all that’s left of this year, he better get to work because his end-of-July, 2025 totals are only 38% of last year’s total. And the five-month clock to New Year’s Day 2026 […]
