8&out is the best move!
You play a great game Lenny.
I miss our battles bud.
When you catch that gear , not many people want to be fighting against it.
It's kind of funny because he does a lot of commentary with Mark Wilson and even Mark, not known for his 1pocket, struggles not to say something sometimes during the commentary about one of Danny's "insights" -- you can almost hear the blood gushing out as Mark bites his lip sometimes.

I do believe the thinking on 1pocket has evolved.
Efren had a lot to do with that and then the whole slew of younger players that shoot straight as a laser. Some of the old-timers have not kept up on current developments in the field.

Danny is the one the "smarts" seek out to get the "inside secrets"
You are correct. I would take Danny D. as a coach and be able to play even with anyone.
Danny is the one that "smarts" seek out to get the "inside techniques" to one-pocket. I could name some that would surprise everyone, however, out of respect I will keep that information confidential.
This confusion about Danny is another example of "common knowledge" being flawed, Danny D. is secretly the best one-pocket instructor in the country. The ones that go to Danny don't want their names revealed, and use his knowledge to win...and win big!!!

That's no weed...that has got to be peyote.
True, and Efren has their money in his pocket.
My comment regarding which instructor to choose is it depends on what style of one pocket you want to play but regardless of the instructor there are so many nuances and different positions in one pocket an instructor can only tell you so much.
Where is Danny d located this thread has got me really thinking about some one pocket lessons thanks

If Danny isn't there, ask for Carl Gallante
having Danny on my side would stack the odds considerably
WIth Danny D. coaching me I can play even with anyone. I didn't say I would win over a long period of time, however, having Danny on my side would stack the odds considerably in my favor compared to not having Danny D.'s knowledge.
Of course we are talking about playing on a 10' table.
....and no, this HEMP is the perfect "pool fuel" - and legal in all 50 states.

I watched a video of Danny giving a one pocket lesson and he mentioned several moves and strategies that will definitely enhance my game. Anyone who has the opinion that Danny D. would not be a good instructor in 1 pocket would have to be a complete idiot.

Obviously the best 1 pocket instructor in the country is the guy who taught you to play the game in only three weeks.
You'd best start practicing your 4-rail intentional fouls after your oppo's break because that's his go-to shot almost everytime

I don't believe that anyone in this thread has denigrated DD's ability to teach the game to people who don't know it very well. He has knowledge that can help people such as you and others who have yet to learn the things he knows. That knowledge has not been called into question nor has his ability to teach, but if you listened to his commentary during 1 pocket matches you would quickly learn that the game has passed him by and nobody has yet told him.
To people who can't play the game well it doesn't make a difference.

working with intermediate and beginning players -couldn't have an experienced opinion
Committing to a wide range audience is different than one on one training with an accomplished player. Danny D. is most effective with accomplished players, as far as working with intermediate and beginning players I couldn't have an experienced opinion.
No one said it only took me 3 weeks to learn how to play one-pocket, I did say it would take me 3 weeks to play it on a high level again. TR in Dallas is the one that taught me the most and hanging around Wade Crane, "Lizard" and Billy I. helped quite a bit.
I did beat Amarillo Slim out of $30,000 in Baton Rouge giving him a game that no one on earth thought I could give him......they were mistaken. 'The Game is my Teacher'
