Gene,

I am a BCA certified instructor in Phoenix, the place where you launched your Perfect Aim campaign.

One of the gentleman that you sold a lesson and video to here, recently gave that video to me because he said it was worthless to him. He said he asked you several times during your session how your eye placement technique is going to do any good if he has fundamental problems in his stroke; to which your response was always, "Don't worry about that now, just do this." He also told me that you misquoted him on your web site, making his actual comments sound like praise for your system when they were not meant to be praise at all.

There is another Phoenix player you quote on your web site as giving your lesson high praise when, in fact, it was the gentleman's wife who received the lesson, while the gentleman's comment to me was that it (Perfect Aim) seemed more like a "gimmick" than anything else.

So here are two cases of misinformation that I have stumbled onto. How many more cases would I find in the Phoenix area if I went looking for them?

In all fairness, I did view your video, and while it was pretty poorly done, I do believe that you offer a little bit of good advice on it. I just don't think that advice is worth much money. As a matter of fact, it's the kind of stuff that most professional instructors give away all day long for free. (They only charge for the meaty stuff.)

I don't mean for this post to be a slam on your knowledge or your game, Gene. You are an excellent player. But it wasn't Perfect Aim that made you that way. It was your years and years of study, practice and experience that made you become the player you are.

What I do mean for this post to do, however, is to serve notice that you are not a professional instructor, and that your verbal attack on Steve and others who are actually qualified to teach, is not appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

Roger Long

I hope we don't get another post that goes on and on about this system it is getting a little bit out of hand.

WOW! I never expected that from you Roger. It seems that SPF instructors gets in all of their free advertisement.

While Gene has said that he plays far better than steve and others who teach, it sure seems odd that you would attempt to discredit him on this forum. It seems like you are playing a similar game, except you aren't naming names of the critics. I don't doubt that you have spoken to someone but reporting someone else's report is kind of brutal.

You nor SPF would want me or anyone else to report negative things that some people have told me off of the forum.

Telling someone else that they aren't a professional instructor is a little over the top. I think Gene gets paid for his instructing and lessons and that makes him a professional.

Your attempt to discredit Gene is out of character for you and SPF.

Joey,

My comments on this subject were not meant for this thread; they were in response to a tirade Gene went on in the ASK THE INSTRUCTOR forum. I didn't post my comments in this thread, they were re-posted by someone else. You would have to read the thread in the other forum to get an understanding of what this is all about.

I don't know what the facts of this are, but Gene's constant spamming of AZB despite complaints makes me think his profit motivation is stronger than his principles.

With Perfect Aim the individual can find where their perfect spot is for every shot. It also will teach the player how to find the perfect spot themselves after they understand it for all their shots.

Many of the things we learn with pool are self taught. Trial and error. Many of the mistakes we do with pool we do over and over and still make the same mistakes unless we know how to correct the problem. This is why we sometimes seem to be stuck at one level for a long time.

The pool teachers out there are a great help because they can help identify the problem for the player and there for make a correction that will improve their pool game. This serves a purpose for all pool players and is a great need for someone that is trying to improve their game.

I feel bad when teachers that are supposed to help ridicule something like Perfect Aim without knowing hardly anything about it only because they might just stop one person form learning this and improving the game they love and enjoy.

I was cleaning out my car the other day without my glasses on. As I was doing so I accidently threw away a check for a couple hundred dollars that I got from a little pool tournament.

I strongly recommend that you put your glasses on when you look at Perfect Aim so you can make an educated opinion instead of a "MY DAD CAN BEAT UP YOUR DAD" type of statement without proper knowledge about what you are talking about.

Someday the nay say teachers out there will see Perfect AIM and wish they could have been teaching it for a long time. Just think of how many players you could help showing Perfect Aim instead of ridiculing it.

The teachers that I have taught Perfect Aim to have had their eyes opened to something very helpful to themselves and all pool players.

Columbus once said the world was round. They used to burn people at the stake if they didn't understand them, Witches. And some people burned books over time to supress knowledge that they thought noone should know.

Get the picture. Enough said. Buy the video and see what you are missing.

Have a great day Gene with PERFECT AIM..................

Perfect Aim is nothing more than centering the cue between your eyes. Your head position is then within 1/8 of an inch of being in "perfect aim". Since your eyes are about 30 inches from the cueball, how much effect on sighting is a 1/8 inch head movement going to make? If "Perfect Aim" is anything other than a requirement to center the cue, I again ask Gene to correct me - like I've asked several times previously in other posts - but I've never got a reply.

When I spoke on the phone with Gene, we broke no new ground, because I already centered the cue. Yet he subsequently posted to the effect that he was happy to have helped me and was sure I was now shooting better as a result of "Perfect Aim" blah, blah, blah. He should have not have posted misleading statements using me as a tool, I believe.

Also, I believe it is noteworthy that neither Shooting Arts nor Spider ever came back with the reviews we were all anticipating. The silence of these two outspoken and intelligent AZBr's speaks loudly, I believe.


Todays reply from shankster8:

Joey, no harm intended, just trying to help keep things on the up and up, as I believe Roger is. Perhaps you will answer the question that Gene and all his endorsers seem afraid to. If you center your cue between your eyes, are you then within 1/8 inch of your eyes being in the perfect spot? Yes or No? Thanks

this post surprises me a little joey. roger's post is just reporting facts and thats all. its up to you to draw a conclusion about gene. i cant say anything about perfect aim b/c i havent seen it, but i will say this about gene. almost every post he has made here on az has been nothing but a sales pitch. if you listen to him after you learn "perfect aim" you'll be looking for effren offering him the 8. i mean come on. according to gene everyone who has learned "perfect aim" thinks its just great. so roger posts some comments that let us know that not everyone thinks its so great and you jump on him for it?

also SPF instructors on here give plenty of free instruction via their posts. the "advertising" posts are very few and far between. what has gene offered as far as any free instruction? really what has he ever contributed to this forum except on long continuous pitch for his product (and i note he still hasnt done any advertising with az or even become a club member)? so i find your critism of mr long's comments (which he did not even post in this forum) out of character for you.

brian-still thinks gene would make an excellent replacement for billy mays on "pitchmen"

Hi Joey...again. I need to thank you. You do more advertizing for the SPF group than all of us together. Keep up the great work.

On the other side, if you check things out:
1. Roger is not part of SPF.
2. Several times I have posted to "buy" Geno's dvd.
3. Geno's a better player than 99% of the people on this board (America).
4. If it's on the Internet, it's true.

Thanks.....SPF=randyg

You're welcome Randy. I like to see instructors, teachers and anyone else on this public forum, providing free instructional advice and getting the credit they deserve. You and your band of instructors do a very nice job of doing just that on AZ and it is appreciated.

Gene can be a resource of GREAT information and time will only tell how valuable he will be to the forum. I think the jury is still out on him but feel that a player of his ability could be of great value to the Main Forum and perhaps he will give back to the forum as opportunity presents itself.

I thought you could just go to Geno's website and purchase the DVD. That's what I know.:confused:

I thought that Roger was a certified BCA instructor; my bad on the SPF affiliation. :o

I have researched Roger previously and seen that he has provided some EXCELLENT advice on pool as well as some fine instructional information ONLINE, free of charge. http://www.youtube.com/user/RLongAZ51

Roger is very reluctant to toot his horn on AZ Billiards and doesn't get the credit that he so richly deserves.

For those of you who want to get a taste of what Roger knows and is capable of teaching go to Roger's FREE INSTRUCTIONAL pocket billiard Youtube link. It really is incredible how much quality information he has created and provides free of charge. He has many dozens of videos detailing many principles of pocket billiards. Roger also provides in person pool lessons for a fee and you can contact him right here on AZ Billiards Main Forum.

I think Roger has close to 80 professional pool instructional videos online available free of charge.

Roger, you have my apology for me not paying attention to the cross post.

Shankster8,

I would like to see more top players like Gene posting on this forum and it is one of the main reasons why his "free advertising" doesn't bother me as much as it does others.

I would feel the same way if John Schmidt, Danny Harriman, Sarah Rousey or Allison Fisher or any of the other top pros would be hawking one of their products or services. I would want to encourage them to continue posting here on the Main Forum in hopes that they might offer some insight into our sport that might improve the games of some of the Main Forum members.

The answer to your question is probably NO. I imagine it depends upon how widespread your eyes are.

Both..kinda. Geno introduced me to "his" system in Las Vegas. That's better than a dvd in my books. I have told several posters. "Buy it, now you have something to compare what you do against".....SPF=randyg

You assume you know how everyone plays on this forum.Tell you what since gene and you probably play a couple balls better than me .I will play either 1 of you with the call 8 and the break on the big table at my poolhall on my table.Its a sure lock for either 1 of you since he plays so great and you talk so great and no how everyone plays...
I will lock up a 1000,00 and give you a number to call if interested.

While Randy's number of 99% may or may not be accurate, I think his point is pretty obvious...he knows Gene is a great player. Randy has been around the game for many years, and has probably worked with thousands of players. But more importantly, he has the skill to observe and evaluate players that very few people have.
Most people, when watching a pool match will focus on the balls on the table. A very few will focus on the players. One can teach you about moving the balls around the table. One can teach you how different players play.
So whether it's 99% or 89% or whatever percent, I would take his word when he says Gene is one of the best players around.
