Billiard Instructors????

Two names come to mind. Stan Shuffett (www.justcueit.com) and Scott Lee of www.poolknowledge.com
Both are very professional. I have dealt with Stan numerous times. He is great. I have had one lesson from Scott and he is great too. Both are excellent instructors and you can't go wrong with either.

ALL the above are good. I specialize in One Pocket instruction if you come out this way.

Timothy,
That is a fine Who's Who of TESTIMONIALS. I'll have to get more information on your videos as I have not had the chance to view any of them yet.

Have any AZers taken your classes yet?

Thanks much. I called Jerry's Wisconsin number from the website and left a message, but I know I'd rather be in Arizona atm.

Not sure you want to be there after Vegas ---- temperature has already hit 100 and heard from several who said its too hot too soon.

Jerry Briesath lives in AZ in the winter, and has a place in WI in the summer. He teaches out of Cuenique Billiards in Madison, WI in the summer months, and out of STIX in Phoenix in the winter months. He won't be back in WI until next month, after the pool tournaments in Vegas end.

Endymion,
You can not go wrong with instructors like Mark Wilson, Jerry Briesath, Scott Lee, and Randy G.

Mark Wilson's website is www.playgreatpool.com

Jerry Briesath's website is www.thepoolschool.com

Jerry winters in Phoenix, AZ and summers in Madison, Wisconsin (not Milwaukee). I suggest that you call directly as the websites above are merely informational. Good luck with your game - I have worked with both of these instructors, and as teachers they are fabulous beyond belief - do what they say and you WILL progress.

BWP is www.ihavetaughtthemall@cox.net
 
I recently worked with Scott Lee

And after over 48+ years of playing pool, he made me a believer in doing what Tiger Woods or any other good player does, and that is getting good instructions! Scott worked on some fundamental flaws in my stroke and my game has never been better! I would reccomend him or any of the other 3 names previously mentioned to anyone wanting to improve their game.
 
I stand corrected ...

Sorry, Ted is not a Master BCA Instructor at this time....randyg

I stopped by the Jointed Cue yesterday and made a point of looking at Ted's BCA Instructor Certificate ... He is an Advanced Instructor, not a Master ... My mistake ...

Randy G's pool school or Scott Lee, 'nuff said.
