It’s been discussed in the forums forever whether an instructor to be a good instructor has to be a good player.
I am in the camp that the quality as a Player is separate from the Quality as an instructor
So how well Dr. Dave plays or a tournament among the instructors regardless who wins I don’t think reflects on how good of an instructor they are

Kinda.

But there's still a line.

If you can't beat me, I'm not likely to spend any money for you to teach me...

Shannon,Corey,and Charlie Williams all told me they couldn't have beaten Shane McMinn at 16 . He was the first to win 3 BCA Junior titles.

Wu is an entirely different animal.

I'm guessing Landon Shuffett is still playing pretty well,even without playing full time. Tommy D.

Important fact about McMinns wins.
The first two yrs in a row, he played at Magoos.
John Lewis never liked Jr. players having a room advantage, but we were unable to get another room that second yr, so again Shane had home court twice.
John Knew..... for Jr. players it was to McMinns advantage.
He did play good, but Justin Bergman said, Tyler Strawn was thee best Jr. player at the time, then he got killed in a motorcycle accident.

Resolving issue with ball return box and rack/triangle holder. The lower front face and the first underside board where the rack holder attaches required new wood. Although it is not stock I came up with a fix to preclude having the holder being torn off the box in the future.
I cut tongue and grooves for the replacement pieces and am using a Forstner bit to allow me to insert aluminum discs into the upper side of the board being replaced on the box bottom. The discs will be drilled and tapped so that the attaching machine screws will pass through the bottom board and thread into the discs so the screws will not be threaded into the wood. Once installed the discs will be hidden by the rubber lining I will install and and the discs will not be seen from the underside as they will sit about 1/4" above the bottom board's face.
