How about Geno playing Lee Brett on the ten foot at the Derby. Say a race to a hundred. Ten Ball. Kinda a teachers battle. If Geno would play that????? I think it would be a good match. :grin-devilish::grin-devilish:
Not a good match for Gene. Let them play ona Valley barbox where gene was really strong for years and Lee probably has his hands full. I am a fan of both and the larger the table and longer the race the more Lee is the favorite due to Lee's youth, Gene's health issues and and stress from the passing of his Mother (my condolences) and then there is Lee's snooker background requiring disciplined precision on large equipment . Shorten the race and shorten the table (Gene was bar box monster for years up north) and play multiple sets on multiple days and Gene will have a better chance of prevailing.
I have had lessons from both and think both are good. Gene is probably more dedicated overall to improving the game of pool and is constantly sharing knowledge. He does a lot of mini lessons and flat out loves pool. I think Lee is more mercenary in his approach and would like to be a pro player, his skills are very high, but he could not quite get there playing snooker but anyone who has come close to pro snooker level is the favorite when they are 25 yrs or more younger and the table is large.
Are you trying to make this happen Buska, Are you wanting to put something up for them to shoot at perhaps you would like to throw the winner something for their time or are you just trying to stir the pot.
