That is fantastic news Joel! Couldn't happen to a nicer guy! You might have to rearrange the living room! LOL Scott Lee 2019 PBIA Instructor of the Year Director, SPF National Pool School Tour

All true about my mentor and very good friend Jerry Briesath...he started it all so many decades ago! Many good instructors have been mentioned in this thread, but the glaringly obvious one missing is Randy Goettlicher of Dallas Texas. Randy was the first recipient of the Jerry W Briesath...

I'm happy to come to NV to work with the OP. Call me at 727-542-4848 to discuss details. Scott Lee 2019 PBIA Instructor of the Year Director, SPF National Pool School Tour

...even more impressive is that fact that Keith has been sober from drugs and booze for many years now!...something few other former champions can attest to. Scott Lee 2019 PBIA Instructor of the Year Director, SPF National Pool School Tour

All true here! I'd like to add that ALL pool strokes have a pause at the back, whether it's intentional or accidental. It's just about how long or short it is. Physics says you have to stop the backward movement, to some degree, to change direction and accelerate smoothly. Otherwise you...

Sorry to hear of your friend's passing, KC. Lotta older fellas at Shooters! Scott Lee 2019 PBIA Instructor of the Year Director, SPF National Pool School Tour

That table and those cues are on permanent display at the Magic Castle in Los Angeles. Cool stuff! Scott Lee 2019 PBIA Instructor of the Year Director, SPF National Pool School Tour

Leigh...Your personal finish is yours. How far past the CB your tip finishes has no bearing on what happens afterwards. Cuestick speed, loose grip and tip position are the important variables. FYI Allison only finishes her stroke a couple inches past the CB (which is her natural finish), and...

Marcus...It's been a long time since I was at your house! One of my good friends, and a PBIA Advanced Instructor, is Rufus Carter. He lives on your side of town, and has a 9' table too! He posts here under his own name, and his information is on the PBIA website! Scott Lee 2019 PBIA...

What a crock! 99.9% of American poolplayers have no idea who Josh Filler even is. They can't even name an American pro player. Scott Lee 2019 PBIA Instructor of the Year Director, SPF National Pool School Tour

Since it's apparently so easy and natural, why don't you post up a video of you making that shot. I'd say you have ZERO chance to make this shot. Scott Lee 2019 PBIA Instructor of the Year Director, SPF National Pool School Tour

Everybody pauses at the end of the backswing...even those players who think they don't. It's just a matter of how long the pause is...a half second to 2-3 seconds. Like PJ said, this pause helps to facilitate a smooth transition from the backswing to the forward stroke. A pause at the CB...

The real expert here is PBIA Master Instructor Lance Cowles, out of Battle Creek MI. He did all the stacked wrap work for Seyberts for several years, and the Tiger boys consider him an expert at installing stacked wrap leather. He has a bunch of pictures on his FB...Cuesports of Battle Creek...

I have not been on here much lately, taking care of my ailing wife. I've known Pat a long time, and only briefly met Patrick. Quite the talent...comparable musically to his father's influence on the pool industry! Very sorry to learn of his death, and my sincere condolences to the Fleming...

The Billiard Encyclopedia, by Victor Stein...expensive, but worth it. Scott Lee 2019 PBIA Instructor of the Year Director, SPF National Pool School Tour

Yes, Valley did manufacture a 9' table. It was available in both coin-op and traditional play modes. There's one at (iirc) Side Pocket in Ft. Wayne IN. Scott Lee 2019 PBIA Instructor of the Year Director, SPF National Pool School Tour

Cool old video. Lots of recognizable faces! Thanks for sharing. Scott Lee 2019 PBIA Instructor of the Year Director, SPF National Pool School Tour

Mike...Your eyes may have been open for a long time, but your mind is completely CLOSED! An open mind is absolutely essential and critical to gaining improvement from any kind of instruction. Scott Lee 2019 PBIA Instructor of the Year Director, SPF National Pool School Tour

Larry...Jerry did not invent SPF. That came from Randy Goettlicher and Leslie Rogers more than 30 years ago, and myself for the past 20 years. Jerry does not include video analysis in his lessons. AFTER working with Jerry (to Leigh's great delight and great opportunity) the next step is an...

Joe...That's a shame you lost the dvds, because reviewing your lesson frequently is a great way to continue improving. The side view shows everything that is going on...how the cue is set up and delivered, how the cue is held and delivered (at different speeds), whether or not the shoulder is...
