Knowledgeable about Teaching
Ive had interaction with 2 PBIA instructors and both of them were fine people who were knowledgeable about pool and the teaching of students. If I were to give you advice on taking lessons I would say this much. Take a notebook, lay it beside where you play, make notes, and read them later. They will point out what you are doing wrong, tell you why and offer corrective measures. Its up to you to do something about it. Private study time, watching Youtubes, finding the free information we have available today many times make one think they don't need someone to give them a good look over. I didn't always feel this way until I played some pool with two of them. You likely wont remember or value anything you don't pay something for, that's just the way it is. If you start out right that might make your trip to excellence a lot shorter.
Hey everyone im looking at getting lessons from a PBIA certified teacher in my area, but I'm just wondering if im going to get a bang for my buck, the only teachers near me are all listed as recognized, nothing better, but I'm going to assume they all know what they're doing. But I'd like to hear from you guys before I go spending 35 dollars an hour on lessons, thanks in advance !
