Good morning Geno,
i have been carrying your phone number on my cell for almost 3 months now......had to go to china for a month then the holidays etc. then i got an instructor to improve my stroke first, ......have plans to call you next week, finally! want to wish you a happy new year and special thanks for helping all these players who strive to be better!
happy new year and hope to talk to you next week.
Hi there Everyone,
First I want to say thank you for all the great feedback from the phone lessons. It's been alot of fun.:dance:
Just want to make sure that the players that want to do this still know they can call. There is no charge to learn this and you don't have to buy anything.
Just be by a table and get ready to improve your game more than you ever thought possible. It takes anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes on the average.
Looking forward to working with everyone.
Call 715-563-8712
Thanks again geno................
I called Geno about a month ago and spent some time with him on the phone. He was very professional and took his time to try to explain everything to me. It put some things in line for me that i was missing. I have always wondered why sometimes I can see my shot and it seems so easy and sometimes easy shots were hard. He helped with my PSR and I am playing with so much more confidence now. Thanks Geno for your time and for being so accessible.

Gene, I just can't seem to catch you when the time is good for both of us. Generally, what are good times to catch you? Weekdays? Evenings? Weekends? - Thanks, George in Springfield
Gene do u have any drills for stroking straight? tks
It's nice to see person after person writing in to tell of their improvements after taking the free pool lesson over the telephone by Gene Albrecht.
I thought the guy knew something that most of us didn't.
I too want to take a pool lesson from Gene. Actually, I want him to coach me during a tournament. I've been around Gene and talked to him many times over the telephone and think he would be an excellent coach.
Now if I could get him and Stan Shuffett in my corner, I might be able to beat Robley.
When your down on a shot move your head to one side or the other and keep your cue where it is. Now try to stroke the cue straight. It is almost impossible.
The main reason is the eyes are not in a possition to see it to keep it straight.
If the eyes are not in the very, very most correct position the stoke will look straight to the player but won't be.
Once the eyes are in the most correct position the stroke will get straighter and straighter the more you see the shots correctly.
Once you can see the stroke by having the eyes in the right position for the shot it is amazing how the stroke gets so much straighter.
A few players need some extra help with the stroke but for the most part the eyes in the correct position will help keep the stroke straight.
If the eyes aren't right it's almost impossible to keep a straight stroke.
Once the eyes are in the right position you are practicing keeping the stroke straight on every shot no matter what drill you are doing.
Oh Stop It!! Gene has Improved my game so much just by telling me where too look an where too lay my eye down an he also told me my head was shaking when i go down on my shot so i been working on that i will be ready for the white diamonds tournament an fourbears tournament![]()
Oh well, I lost my edge there too. I can't beat Robley.![]()
I gotta say, that while I won't be calling myself, this is a point of reinforcement to myself. I don't know how many shots I've missed because I've took the wrong stance at the table and affected my line on the shot. I've began to take more time in making sure my stroke is in line, and it shows to me that my address and motion into my stance for the shot was wrong, but I put myself there originally because my eyes told me so. Such a simple piece of advice, but probably, if not the #1 piece of advice to give. No way to make a shot if you're not lined up right to see it.
