Wow, bitter much? Your two posts are a good example of what's wrong with pool. The instructors should be hanging together supporting each other. Instead, you're doing your best to undermine another instructors efforts. Very petty IMHO.

2 way streets are dangerous places to be standing.... you may get ran over by oncoming cars while you shake your fist at the car that just went by you...
Just one of life's lessons...

Sounds like I should be terrified.
Wow, confused much? I asked if it could be verified that some instructors are charging twice as much as Scott Lee, so how is that bitter? It might appear that Scott is trying to undermine the efforts of other instructor(s) by insinuating that their rates are exorbitant in comparison to his. That is, of course, unless he verifies it by naming names.
If I make any unsubstantiated claims concerning any other instructor on these forums, I expect Scott Lee, or anyone else, to challenge them.
And they can expect no less from me.

Roger...Verification is available, without me naming anyone. You know the PBIA doesn't allow for one instructor to badmouth another...which I am not doing. It's an open marketplace, and the customer determines what is valuable or not. You're the one who used the word "exhorbitant"...not me. I merely pointed out a price point, for comparison.

Jealous poster onboard....If they have nothing good to say they don't mind saying it.
Mr. Long came up short here.

You'd find I'm rarely confused. Im not confused by your BS answer either. I believe I saw CJ Wiley quote $1000 per day somewhere on here. I thought I saw Ralph Eckert was $800 per day. That's not the point and you know it, you can quit playing dumb. Since Scott wasn't directing his comments towards you, it was quite rude of you to threadjack as you did.
Thanks Stu! :thumbup: Randyg and I have had great success with our 3-day schools all over the country. In fact, we'll be coming to your fair city next year, probably late Feb. That school will include another fine PBIA Master Instructor, Mark Finklestein, and a local legend, professional player/instructor Tony Robles! We are VERY excited about this upcoming school. Stay tuned for details!
For those interested, we will also be holding a 3-day school at Diamond Billiards in Fresno 12/13-12/15, and 12/27-12/29 in Albuquerque NM. PM me for details on any of these upcoming pool schools.

Thanks, Scott. My question was answered by two other PBIA instructors through PMs. Prior to that, I was finding it incredulous that any instructor could command that kind of rate - especially in this day and age - but now that they have graciously provided me with a name, I have to believe it's true.

You don't know nearly as much as you think you do. However, you ARE an expert on rudeness.
Roger
Everyone has an opinion but everyone's opinion isn't always valid.......this thread exemplifies that.
Scott's teaching style is as important as the knowledge provided. You will not get better knowledge about how to improve your game from anyone else versus training with Scott. You may "prefer" the teaching style of someone else but that's a subjective matter....don't ya agree?
If you are serious about becoming a better player, improving your overall game and truly taking it to a higher level, then a pool school is definitely worth considering. If you are going to attend a pool school, Scott's are simply top notch. I cannot state with certainty that his pool schools are the best since there are so many other instructors nationwide that would also have to be considered. Nonetheless, you will not be disappointed because ultimately, the proof of the pudding is in what you "learned'' at the pool school, not what you "heard" or "observed".
Scott is very hands on with the students at his school and you will definitely appreciate how he teaches the different facets of the game that we all sometimes struggle with at times trying to maintain our highest level of play. Scott just makes the learning cycle more enjoyable. Anyway, do as you will but the price of his pool schools is fair and reasonable. The training is superb and your game will absolutely improve as long as you apply the knowledge acquired at Scott's pool academy through practice and repetition when you return home.

Thanks!! Interesting how you're the one that thread jacked and strongly implied Scott either lied or was grossly in error yet I'm the expert in rudeness. Interesting perspective you have.
A friend of mine contacted a well known instructor who was putting on a pool school in New Jersey. My friend was told the cost would be $1300. This is up from the $1100 the instructor was charging last year. No need to name names. Just call around.
I believe Scott's course is worth more than the $600 he is charging.

I only charge $1000 a day to beautiful women,
I offer private lessons for $200. (3 hours)..... packages of 8 hours or more I'm offering $50. per hour rates.

I'll just post what Scott must be thinking 'bout now I suppose.........
"Well there ya go....... Read kaznj's post.....Last year's pool school cost $1100 and this year it's $1300."
Hmn, aside from stating the obvious, namely 'case closed' about Scott's pool school prices, he should probably raise the price of his program because it seems to be priced too low.
Thanks for contributing CJ.......As a pool professional, your remarks have added creditability; your post also reminded me it's probably 'bout time to order your CD package. Scott's pool school is in my home town next month and I'm still recovering from rotator cuff surgery last month. Despite my best efforts to rehab by the time of the school, it does not look very promising at this time. Therapy is going agonizingly slow......ugh......but I can watch even though I can't play.......got any CDs laying around?
Oh yeah, that's what I still have to order from you........I'll attend to doing that tomorrow.

I didn't thread jack anything; I helped Scott promote his business. How? By asking a question that I knew would be controversial, and doing so after reading Scott's reply to Cocobolo Cowboy (Bruce), who, if you've ever met him as Scott and I have, is the tightest, nit-pickingest "player" on earth. And now, my question has not only helped to silence CC on the matter, it has helped to provide Scott with loads of free advertising and endorsements. It has also helped to clear up the matter of how much CJ Wiley actually charges for instruction. :wink:
That's how the marketing on these forums works. It's all free; you just have to know how to use it.
(And this post will take Scott's ad right back to the top again. :grin-square
