I ran into Scott Lee giving lessons in two separate poolrooms on two successive days. Let me tell you that he seems to have the most up to date instructional equipment out there. On both occasions he was on the table next to me. He focuses 100% of his attention on his student at all times. If you are in need of instruction you won't do better than Scott.

Philly,

Also ran into Scott at SBE. Tried for three days to get together for dinner. My fault it didn't happen as I played every night at 5, 7 and 9. He's a great guy and an awesome instructor.

He watched one of my matches and commented to my opponent as to how he could improve his game. I Didn't see anything obviously wrong. He sure did. Explained to me what he advised the guy on. Once he told me, it WAS obvious. Just didn't understand what I was seeing. Wish I wasn't such an old codger. Could sure use his instruction assistance!

I just had a lesson with Scott Lee and it was well worth the time and money. Scott reviews a long list of topics with you to see what you are doing right and what you can improve. He is very flexible in showing different ways of doing things and helping you choose what works best for you. For example, he helps you make sure your stance is strong and balanced and permits the free movement of the cue, but beyond that he doesn't insist on particular placement of your feet, open vs. less open stance, particular bridge length, etc. - you determine what works for you. He does believe strongly in a pendulum stroke without dropping your elbow as a cornerstone for a strong game.

As others have reported, Scott is easy to work with and stays beyond your allotted time to make sure you get through everything he planned to teach.

My perspective is I played a lot a long time ago, I didn't play for a couple of decades, and I am now trying to improve my game after a couple of years of on and off playing. My objectives were to have a stroke tune-up and identify some things to work on to improve my game, and they were met. He videos the lesson so you have DVDs and written materials for post-lesson reference.

Are you sure he wasn't an impostor? Because we have it on good authority on here from people that have never taken a lesson that all instructors have a manual they go by and never deviate from. And only teach one way of doing things, their way. And never tailor the lesson to the student.

Glad you enjoyed your lesson! Scott is one of the very best. Now that you had the lesson, the work begins!
 
Both Jerry Breisith and Scott Lee were at the expo helping people. Both of these instructors have such great patience with their students.
Jerry was working a lot at the champion cloth booth. He was not getting paid to be there, and he was not getting paid for his lessons. I could not believe that other people would walk over to interrupt Jerry's lesson to "help" the person taking the lesson. They would just start giving their advice right in the middle of the lesson.
It is nice to want to help others, but right in the middle of the lesson.
Both of these guys are great of instructors.
 
I remember spending a few days with Jerry up in Madison. I can't remember the name of the place but I had to park a couple of blocks away on the roof of some building and walk to the pool hall. Larry Nevel was sitting at the bar one day so I got the chance to talk to him for a couple of minutes.
