LOL@Jerseybill. Let's suppose you are the greatest teacher in the world and your $200 per hour is worth it. You're going about it the wrong way, Bill. Good luck finding customers :thumbup:
Are you sure that just a few posts ago that a guy didn't call him "a fist class a--hole".
I guess if that does not fit your criteria of knocking or hating then please explain to me your definition.
Good Luck sir. You cant put a price on good lessons.
Oh look. here is the post. I guess this must not count.
Lessons
He'll probably give some of the lessons in my basement, I would guess. I've known him a long time and he's as smart as they come at 1p. He moves as well as, if not better than, anybody and has the firepower to boot. He should list the people he's been on the road with. I 'll leave that to him if he wants, but it's stellar. As far as teaching, he makes you think and gives you every option and thought process on a shot as well as the right one. He can teach if you can learn and he really wants those he teaches to learn. I had my GC I table tightened to 4 3/8", he stopped by, screwed together and strung 5 racks of 9 ball from the hop.

That post came well after he had, indeed, acted like an a-hole. The first posts that he was responding to were all intended to help him by suggesting that he present himself better.
There were no "knocks" from other instructors either - just polite suggestions or outright offers of help.
Reading comprehension is quite lacking today apparently.
Mike
Please, you didn't really say Mike Brown did you? You may mean a different Mike Brown but the only one I think of when I hear that name is the infamous Mike Brown of the Bengals.
This is meant to be half serious and half tongue-in-cheek; but, on the subject of student testimonials: If the students actually knew what they were talking about, then they wouldn't be the students.

I say let the numbers do the talking, lest an "Emperor's New Clothes" situation could arise...
If I pay $200 for a lesson and use the information to multiply my investment in spots where I previously couldn't have, then I know I've had my money's worth. The $200 was a total no-brainer.
Best of luck with your lessons, JerseyBill. Knowledge can't be quantified monetarily.

Wow! $200 an hour?!
used to play at crown?
if its the bill i'm thinking of he can play one pocket
Bill, I am 70 and will play some if we come across each other. I go to the Derby, will be in Phoenix the end of April and Oklahoma (Shooters) in Sept if they have a tournament there. I live on the West Coast in No. Calif. If you ever get out this way and want to play let me know.
I have posted my thoughts on lessons on onepocket.org You may be a great teacher/player. I would try to find out for $200 a game - guarantee 5 games. John
Ok, after reading half of the responses, I will travel up to Phoenix and take more lessons from SJD when I'm ready. SJD comes across a little friendlier.
Too bad he is not KentuckyBill. I could maybe take him up on his offer, but jersey is way too far to drive.
Good luck. Hope you get a lot of students. I love one pocket, I just wish anyone around here played it.

Sorry, accidental repost.
