A week after taking lessons from a pbia master im worse?

At around $1.65 a piece I'll live wild and experiment to see what I like.
I heard a rumor that at tournaments where they supplied Predator instead of Master they couldn't keep it on the table.

12 Hours of instructions in just two days sounds pretty intense. You don't have to utilize all the information you learned at once. Save some for later. If I were you, I'd contact the master instructor and ask that person to help you prioritize your issues so that you can tackle them one at a time. You need to hang on to a few things in your comfort zone while you make changes to other things, or you could feel like you lost your game completely.

FWIW, I'm a PBIA master instructor too, so I understand what you're going through. I know it's all integrated, and it's hard to separate out the different parts, but your instructor will know which parts have priority for you so that you can move forward without feeling overwhelmed.

I took lessons mainly to have better fundamentals, mechanics and a consistant psr routine. With out those I figure the other stuff won't be as nearly affective. Kinda mixed on my lessons to be honest but that's another story. But I'm committed to what they gave to work on.
 
Years ago Jerry Briesath did 4 hour clinic we’re I live it was $300.00 split 8 or 10 ways. Was told it was basic setup, Stan’s, stroke, alignment. The folks that participated said Jerry correct faults, and fundamentals.

After 4 hours of drills most were beat.

So a greater chance for a skid to happen. (Chalk mark on the cb hits the point of contact on the ob and the ob clings and then skids on it's way to the pocket and misses.)

I've not experienced such a problem. I like the Predator chalk better than Master because of the ease of application and improved shape. Sounds like you should stick with Master.

Sounds like I should stick with Master? Sounds like you don't know who I am and that maybe you don't know what you're talking about. Feel free to talk about your own experience, but leave it at that.

My instructor pointed out my flaws in my stroke. I tend to pull back and fallow not in a straight line and have a bad elbow drop. My elbow drop has gotten slightly better but my stroke is still awfull. After 15 years of playing with a bad stroke i need to start over or i wont be any better then i am now but its realy hard.

Yet it's well known that the main cause of skids is chalk on the CB. Fran's right - you've just been lucky.

Assumes that Master chalk doesn't stick to CBs or that Predator sticks to the CB at enough of a greater rate to statistically alter the chances of a skid. Also assumes that the CB is not cleaned when an accumulation of chalk on the CB is observed.

Actually, I responded before seeing the whole exchange between you and Fran. My bad.

Hey, you were the one who said chalk build up on the cue ball with Predator chalk. Are you saying now that you meant it to be just as much as chalk build up with Master chalk?

Well then you read my question about Predator chalk and his response regarding chalk build up. Any logical person would get from his answer that he meant more chalk on the cue ball with Predator chalk ---- because my question was, what is the consequence of chalking every shot with chalk that doesn't require you to chalk every shot? Extra buildup on the tip? He said, no --- on the cue ball. He's back-peddling now.

You guys are the one defending Master chalk, which is good chalk. I've got a box full of it. I never said Predator CB buildup was excessive or more than Master. I didn't bring up "skid", you did. I haven't had a problem with it likely because I clean my CB. Fran, I'm sure I should know who you are. Alas, I do not. Sorry.
