Coach Lee Brett • A perfect example of

[lfigueroa]

Colonel,

If you like we could meet this Sunday at the Cue to play some 14.1 or 1P if your in town.

Havent played a game with you in quite a while (over 10 years). It would be a lot of fun.

John

hmmm. I'm guessing you're talkin' to me, John

I can't do Sunday (nor C&C), but can do the The Break across the river any day except Monday or Friday.

So, John, if it's been 10 years, you must be the mustachioed gentleman whom I'd occasionally play 9ball with and who refinished one of the 3C tables?

theme failed!

You cannot judge someone for bad positioned pool tables around the world, can you? That must be a joke from your side.

The Inside the box /Outside the box is one of the most important and one of the best things he shown up.
It s definitley a small part of a PSR which is needful- i teach this right in the first lesson with every student without any exception. The complete poolgame is all about perceiption. A player like you should know this (from what i read).

with all respect,

Ingo

It's just a fact -- there is no room for "a box" at many if not most US poolrooms. The concept and all is fine but a practical impossibility at most places.

You maybe correct, but a person can develop there own box, much like one does for personal space. Adjust your box for the situation. Maybe outside the box is anything away from the table, and inside the box is when you address the ball or place the bridge hand on the table. The idea, at least as I take it, is to let the conscious mind operate outside the box, then turn it off, and let the subconscious mind take over and do the shooting inside the box.

Just my opinion

@JoeyA
My friend we both *know these guys* you re talking about. But are they a single word worth? Sure not - so don t get upset about them

About Lee s product. I received on of his first *books* (pre versions ). And the DVD is a great overall-product. To produce a DVD is an expensive project-and he tried hard to make it great.

Lee tried to put really as much stuff as possible into the DVD. And my serious opinion is, that he produced one of the best overall-instruction-videos available. He teaches lot of stuff i also prefer to teach, and he really explained many things very very good.

Someone who would say, that he could not benefit from the knowledge which presented here- must be a fantastic player. Just by following rew things (perception, stepping into shot, striking-line, slower backswing, preparing for example) they would be much better players.

And if i want to find something negative, i ll find on almost any product!

I for myself contact the guy i received the dvd from to tell him personally what s not good in my opinion- maybe he can explain me better or also HE would try to do better next time.


Great Job Lee on your DVD- already told you that, also posted it. But worth to post it again

Ingo,
It is nice to see someone like yourself respond to Coach Lee Brett's video. You teach professional level players (as well as players of lesser levels) and your positive testimony carries weight with me and many others, unlike the ticks that follow me around on the forums and attempt to get me riled-up. They are a minor irritant and when I get enough I'll let them know.

In the meantime, thanks for sharing your positive and professional impression of Coach Lee Brett's pool instructional video.

 

[JoeyA]

I hope I dont fall in that category.(Sometimes I wonder what possesses some people in this forum to attempt to tear down the effort of others. )

I have a rite to my opinion as we all should.Earl is a great shot maker he plays the way he plays and to say what he done was a mistake is just wrong.Yes he adjusted to the shot but he pulled the trigger when he thought the shot looked rite and thats what counts.The shot looks rite im shooting.He hit the ball slow he could of got a little skid on the ball.The ball missed to the rite of the pocket.
Would you be saying the same thing if he made it?No
Sorry Joey I just dont agree with this post.Not trying to start any agruments here but just dont see a mistake Earl did besides missing the ball.

Just my opinion dont bash me.:smile:

No, 8pack. You are not one of the haters and I don't mind disagreement with my posts, especially like yours as I know you are simply sharing your opinion without malice or other hidden agenda.

However, I disagree with your assessment that Earl thought the shot looked right. He didn't think there was any way he could miss that and didn't look to see if the shot looked right. If he had, he would have gotten back up off the shot and went through his concise pre-shot routine. He's quick but he has a pre-shot routine.

There were a number of things that Earl did wrong on that shot, all of them SIMPLE things that we all should be doing on every single shot. That's the purpose of this thread, to illustrate why Earl missed the shot and to help others to realize that there are MANY things that we know we should do but do not do. Coach Lee Brett expresses himself differently than other instructors on this side of the pond and his video may help others like myself to play better pool. And for the record, I guarantee that Coach Lee Brett has information in his video that is NOT IN ANY POOL INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO I have ever seen (and I've seen plenty :grin

Of course. "The box or "your box" can be anywhere.

But going subconscious when down on the shot and not continuing to study, adjust, think, and fine tune consciously is nuts.

Joey would you recommend Lee to any level player?

Or his DVD.

Joey this is why i feel your wrong,he did make a attempt to re adjust.
If he gets up off the shot does that guarantee him he will make it?

Lee does have a great dvd and i like what he teaches and how he teaches, but one doesnt need to know the box to become a great player.

lol. Earl is not suppose to get up off the shot. He's is not supposed to be having any thoughts. He's supposed to be in subconscious mode.

"inside the box = brain switched off"

No sweat 8pack.

I think if Earl gets up off the shot and goes through his pre-shot routine, I think he is MOST LIKELY to make the shot but that's my opinion. :wink:

You and others mentioned why he missed the shot and all of the reasons are most likely valid. One of the main reasons he missed the shot is that he didn't "push his cue stick all the way through the cue ball". :smile:

I experiment all of the time and have fun learning the nuances between following through, following through with acceleration, following through with deceleration, following through a little, following through a lot, etc. and I promise there is a lot to be learned.

The interesting thing is that words are just words but it is the physical action of the cue that dictates what really happens and when some of us THINK we are getting the cue stick through the cue ball at the proper acceleration, well, there are various degrees of that and if you experiment long enough with that, you may come to a similar conclusion, OR not. :smile:

Because words are just words, it doesn't mean that a person is following through "correctly". I used to think that following through meant following the cue ball with your cue stick. For me, it means a whole lot more and Coach Lee Brett says it in a manner that makes you realize how important it and all of the other things really are.

I agree.
How do you like your chances if he does the same thing.:wink:
