Well the bottom line Geno did not post is COST of his Lesson? After the Mini Lesson?

The reason I do the mini lesson is every player that does this wants to learn how to fix the problems. Some feel they can fix it on their own but will still find it hard considering the dominant eye kind of hides the problem and sabotages the shot.

Many players that teach and travel charge quite allot. I've always kept my prices down. I charge $400 when I'm at my home area and players come to me. While on the road the price is $500. I can only do one lesson per day. The reason for the $100 increase is expenses. Motel, gas and whatever else while on the road.

If you don't mind, while I'm in Phoenix this time, I will give each player your number, if you share it here, and have them call you to tell you if they think it is worth it. And I guarantee that it will always be positive.

I have another question. Is there something that I did that made you mad?

No SVB at the UK Open from May 26-31. No Ko brothers, Biado, Chua, either.

But the field overall looks pretty strong. WNT says the following top players have signed up. They are referred to in an FB promotion as the "Top 16."

Yapp
Gorst
Filler
Neuhausen
Kaci
FSR
Alcaide
Shaw
Zielinski
Labutis
Souto
Capito
Naoyuki Oi
Kledio Kaci
Jefrey Roda
Bernie Regalario


If we go by WNT rankings, the other notable omission appear to be Mickey Krause and Albin Ouschan.

I watched those matches, he played alright but not 770 speed and his hands are shaking that it’s amazing that he can actually pocket a ball.
I don’t think he can win a 650 and under tournament

I noticed the shaking too- it definitely is amazing how well he shoots with such a tremor

It was very important to me that the balls had zero chance to hit any hardware.

I came up with this counter-bored design which is both ball friendly and print friendly.

I knew access would be difficult, so I used torx drive screws, so the driver wouldn't slip during installation. The tape was to prevent the tool from scratching the parts.

Great print! I like it. It is clean and clear. Good Job! i hope you do keep printing them. the pool world needs more makers.

This is my home room in Atlanta! I'm so excited to play there. I'm in Philly now, probably won't get there for a month or more. The whole room is about 40 tables: 9' GC4's (most), 8' GC5's (for APA league), and they just last year got about 6 7' Diamonds, 1 6x12 snooker. These two new GC7's are replacing 2 9' Diamonds they had for about 10 years, in a separate area of the "player's area" called "the shark pit". Those were both Blue Label, and bounced about twice as hard as the GC4's 6' away from them. No more 9' Diamonds in this room

One player made only the 8 on the break and was allowed to continue shooting. That's being discussed in the commentary where I've paused so maybe there was a rules change and it's all good. ...

(edited) The UP rule for a while was no continuation if only an 8 on the break. It came up in the first few UP events in the US.
