This is my very first post. I've been lurking around AZ for years, a lot good information here and a lot bashing going on to. So I have no reputation here.
I have been playing pool 34 years, and have spent 27 of them at Chris's in Chicago. I'm probably less than a shortstop in the food chain over there.
I have bought a lot of books on pool over the years. I got Lee's book in the mail a month ago, and I must say his book covers a few topics I haven't seen in other books or that are discussed when talking to other players at Chris's. I tried a few of the things that were mentioned in the book. Naturally at first it didn't feel right in the beginning but I was starting to make some tough shots much more consistantly than before.
When Lee anounced he was giving lessons in Las Vegas, I contacted him and arranged for lessons last Tuesday. I met him over at Best Billiards, a nice room with fairly new diamonds. He whatched me shoot for awhile and then he suggested a few changes in my stance and explained his reasons why, and reviewed how to approach a shot. we started doing a few progressive drills with short shots to longer shots. Some of the things that we worked actually helped my concentration. On some shots my peripheral visson seems to expand tremendously, what he was teaching certainly helped me in that area.
I feel that my game has improved from that afternoon and I feel very optimistic that my game will improve a month from now as I make these changes become part of my game. I feel that I got my moneys worth with Lee.
Lee said he was going to be at the Derby this year, I'm will be going there to see him again. I think anybody living in Vegas who is considering getting lessons should check him out.
This is a plug for him I think he deserves it.
Peace
