Are you kidding me? That outdated concept didn't work 50 years ago, and it doesn't work today either. Scott Lee 2019 PBIA Instructor of the Year Director, SPF National Pool School Tour

That's not true. According to Disney, NONE of the FL or CA parks are opening anything, any time soon. Disney did reopen Disneyland in Shanghai China with limited access, and several conditions for the visitors. Scott Lee 2019 PBIA Instructor of the Year Director, SPF National Pool School Tour

What was your friend expecting...a couple hundred bucks? Should have picked Rossman. He was just starting out back then, and probably would have come for a couple hundred bucks. $5K would be a bit outrageous even today (my rate is $500/hr, two hour minimum + expenses)...although Venom's rate...

I bolded the funniest part of your post. So are you expecting "all the pros" to just step up and donate their time and travel expenses? LMAO That'll happen about the same time we land astronauts on Mars...basically never in our lifetime. Not that they (all those pros) shouldn't do what...

EVERYBODY pauses Mike. That's what you just don't get. The difference is how long; how smooth the transition is, and how relaxed your trip is. Plus, regardless of how long or short their pauses (and here's the part you probably will never get) they pause purposefully, not randomly. Scott Lee...

One thing that hasn't even been mentioned is that Brandon has also invested time, effort and money in becoming a PBIA Instructor. Like Demi, Brandon may realize that the better, more consistent revenue stream is in quality instruction, instead of chasing tournament money or gambling games, and...

As others said, this is nothing new. We've been teach "close quarters" stroking techniques for decades. I've seen randyg draw the CB, with a level cue and very close together (less than an inch) more than 9 feet, with no foul. It's always amazing when some famous folks think they have...

I echo Brian's welcome to the forums! There is an enormous amount of information about everything pool that you can imagine...and probably some you can't! LuckyShot, please post pictures of your table restoration as you work on things. We love to see that kind of stuff, and you're likely to...

Why the longer stroke? Are you saying that you shoot shots with a 15-20 inch followthrough? Scott Lee 2019 PBIA Instructor of the Year Director, SPF National Pool School Tour

Chris...I'm sure you know this, but the proliferation of bowling centers with pool rooms was due to Brunswick financing the whole shebang, with very attractive terms! Sadly these days Brunswick doesn't have a quarter to spend on bowling or billiards. Billiards built the company, and they...

If you want to be a pool player, learn how to quickly adapt to ALL tables and playing conditions. The player that can adjust the quickest will have a great advantage, regardless of conditions. Having an accurate and repeatable stroke is step 1 in this journey! Scott Lee 2019 PBIA Instructor...

ShootingHank...So you were "just kidding" when you suggested that the quality of his cases might be substandard, after losing these bets (because you suppose he'll have to 'pump out' way more cases)? That's an extremely low blow to someone, who like him or not (I call JB my friend), is well...

Ditto Charlie Brown! Pat is one of the good guys, and my great friend (just like YOU buddy! :grin:). Scott Lee 2019 PBIA Instructor of the Year Director, SPF National Pool School Tour

Robin...You are certainly welcome to your own opinion, but it is extremely biased. First, you lump ALL pool schools together in your response. There are tremendous differences in pool schools and pool school instructors. Second, since you have never attended ANY pool school, you're really not...

Well, in your case, I guess pool physics = ego! Pretty tough to defeat physics...in fact you can't! There is really no such thing as a "physique limited stroke". There's just the "limited" mindset that things must be learned your way, and your way only. The way we teach, we fit the stroke to...

Jim...You know that Craig is a great SPF instructor don't you?...and he does have a beautiful stroke! :thumbup: Scott Lee 2019 PBIA Instructor of the Year Director, SPF National Pool School Tour

The easy answer is...learn to play using a relaxed grip, the weight of the cue and superb timing...the cue moves the CB effortlessly! I've been after you for 15 years to teach you that. In all that time, you have many times mentioned wanting to learn...but we've never connected. Perhaps when...

Even though this thread is more than a month old, I'd like to have the OP understand from many great instructors that he practices the wrong thing, the wrong way. I've mentioned this several times before, but the OP just doesn't "get it" or doesn't believe it. :rolleyes: Practice should be...

tableroll...Exaggerated follow through has no physical effect on the outcome of the shot. Scott Lee 2019 PBIA Instructor of the Year Director, SPF National Pool School Tour

Sorry straightline, but the weight of the cue, and really good timing, with a relaxed grip are the only elements that matter. What I have bolded in your post is false information. How far you follow through has no bearing on how much speed can be generated with a pendulum stroke. The tip is...
