FIRST lesson 1.5 hrs....then 1 hr per lesson after that
How long (days, weeks, months) before you see results? Is there like a set amount of reps that you must do a technique so it becomes a muscle memory?
Days, wks, mths, hummmmmmmmmm. That's not simple answer.
I grew up, one of three boys and what ever sport we did. Ii just played out, that I always got better quicker than my 2 brothers.
I gave lessons for 10 yrs. about 20 hrs a week, and here's a couple things to think about.
I'd go to a pro event, and just watch the best players ''swing their cue'' and WATCH how they grip the cue butt and how they walk up to the shot. I'd even take pictures to look back at. I did this years ago, because I knew I had a grip problem.
Anywho....when I gave a new person a lesson, I talked to the student to find out, how he processed life via his trade and lifestyle.
After our 10-15 minute chat, I'd then watch em hit balls for 15 minutes.
By understanding how he thinks and how he/she shoots, I can then BETTER explain what I see, and what needs to addressed first.
I always find ONE or maybe TWO major flaws in their mechanics.
I address those issues, for the rest of the hour.
It normally takes 2-3 mths to incorporate CHANGE into your game (
depending on how much you play).
A great way to test your new mettle, is to go to a tournament and ''test under fire''. Or gamble small to see how your changes hold up.
