Larry...No I do not agree. For that to even be possible, you'd have to start "snapping your wrist BEFORE the cuestick reaches the bottom of the pendulum strike. Perfect timing is difficult enough without adding something extreme like wrist snap. Like I said...it's a myth. Scott Lee 2019 PBIA...

No...the #1 reason is that for the most part pro players are too lazy to get a real job! Scott Lee 2019 PBIA Instructor of the Year Director, SPF National Pool School Tour

"Wrist snap" is a myth. The cueball is gone from the cuetip in less than a quarter of an eye blink (1/1000th of a second)...far too quick for wrist snap to have any physical effect on the outcome. The myth still reverberates many years later. Tight grip is the ENEMY of a great stroke, period...

I have resisted posting in this thread, but this is the biggest BS post in this entire thread. Geno, you have no formal training in teaching anybody anything...and as such, have no legitimacy in talking about other REAL instructors. The truth is that dominant eye does not play a serious role...

I would also recommend Trent McRitchie out of Toledo. He does excellent work and travels all over! :thumbup: Scott Lee 2019 PBIA Instructor of the Year Director, SPF National Pool School Tour

Thanks for the kind words Stu, but for me personally, getting Jerry into the BCA HOF would be the greatest triumph for me, and very likely all three of us...Randy, Mark and me! Jerry is so deserving it's ridiculous that he hasn't gotten in yet. :thumbup: Scott Lee 2019 PBIA Instructor of the...

Stu...You're correct about Jerry. He definitely deserves entry under the meritorious service catagory. That is only voted on every other year, and some kind of stupid politics has kept Jerry from getting the award. 3 years ago the PBIA Executive Committee voted unanimously to form a PBIA Hall...

Well, whatever it is, it's about $30 a year...a great deal for the benefits you get, plus it's supporting the best pool site in the world! Less than 10 cents a day for a gold membership. Scott Lee 2019 PBIA Instructor of the Year Director, SPF National Pool School Tour

jaime_lion...OR...you could stick a crowbar in your wallet, and pry out $.10 a day ($30 a year) to actually benefit this site. DCP is so cheap he rubs nickles together to start a fire, so it's unlikely that he'll join. Are you that cheap too? Scott Lee ~ been Gold since the start 2019 PBIA...

Add to that pro players signatures add little to no value to the cue (unless it's somebody like Mosconi). Meucci's sig is worth more than Shannon's, if either are worth anything at all. Scott Lee 2019 PBIA Instructor of the Year Director, SPF National Pool School Tour

evergruven...Greg is a great guy and a friend of mine. You're correct that he's not here anymore, having been driven away by the series of trolls that have inhabited AzB over the past few years. Far too many great regular posters have left for the exact same reason. Scott Lee 2019 PBIA...

See, that's the problem Walter! You DRINK the kool-aid, not smoke it! LOL :thumbup: Scott Lee 2019 PBIA Instructor of the Year Director, SPF National Pool School Tour

Mike...I think your last statement covers it quite nicely! :D Scott Lee 2019 PBIA Instructor of the Year Director, SPF National Pool School Tour

A much more accurate drill is shooting the CB from the footspot to see if your tip and shaft finish directly over the white dot in the middle of the black circle...or not. Scott Lee 2019 PBIA Instructor of the Year Director, SPF National Pool School Tour

ThinSlice...You forgot to add..."In my opinion", since your 'statement of fact' actually isn't! You should probably stick with "Gold Crowns play great!", and leave it at that. Scott Lee 2019 PBIA Instructor of the Year Director, SPF National Pool School Tour

You will pay for a good job ($500+), but it doesn't have to be by Diamond (no they don't come recloth your table for you). I can immediately think of two people, one in Battle Creek MI and one in Toledo OH. Contact TrentinToledo or Bossman69 here via PM, or pm me for their phone numbers. Both...

We have a great PBIA/SPF instructor in Germany! He posts here all the time. He also has worked with some students in other countries (including this one) via Skype! His name is Ingo Peter. :grin: Scott Lee 2019 PBIA Instructor of the Year Director, SPF National Pool School Tour

Big C...same swing front and back is not a tenet of SPF (it certainly could be that way, but is more likely not to be the same). We teach using a full backswing (regardless of bridge length) for most SOP shots (95% of what you shoot in a game), and then a smooth transition from the pause at the...

No problem Dave! Want to put up your FL condo up as collateral? :D Notice I didn't name myself among those! In fact being out of work for 3 full months didn't help my bottom line either. Unemployment? Yeah...you STILL can't get results from the FL DOE site! Grrrrrr... SBA loans? Yeah, in FL...

Another instance of you not knowing what you're talking about. The best certified instructors in the country are making a fine living (some are making six figures from professional lessons). Scott Lee 2019 PBIA Instructor of the Year Director, SPF National Pool School Tour
