Spent the past 3 days in Pool School with Randy Goettlicher and Scott Lee. This was a traveling version of the one that Randy holds in his school in Dallas TX. This one was in Diamond Billiards in Midlothian VA, just outside of Richmond. Nothing like 9 or 10 hours a day of Pool to brighten your outlook on everything! There were 9 of us in the class as well as 3 instructor candidates and I can tell you, it will change your game for the better! Doesn't matter what your skill level is, it will make you a better pool player and the things that you learn more than pay for the class.
I invested the $625 in myself because I want to get better at this game that I've been playing for 40 years. 3 days, and I already see a difference and the best is yet to come.
The course involves a half day of myth busting followed by video taping and critiquing of your stroke. There is class room theory followed by time at an individual table to detail your own process and template for success. Randy and Scott do not teach a one size fits all; they recognize that we are all different and need to do things differently. They also recognize there are several things that are absolutely true about a pool stroke and they teach those to everyone to include in your game. You still get to make it yours though and that may be the best part of the class.
The last 2 days are spent detailing, honing and polishing the process and template that is yours to make it the best it can be for you. And it is yours because you create it. You get to determine which things work for you and which don't and decide what you're going to keep and what you're going to throw away.
Warning - if you don't like to do drills, are bored with learning things one tiny piece at a time, don't want to make a time investment. along with the money, in getting better and won't work to incorporate what you learn then this course isn't for you. Seriously, you'd be throwing your money away because there is no magic wand. I was a trainer for 12 years and their training techniques are exemplary, best I've ever seen. But, they can only help you to help yourself and that's where most of us fail.
I'm looking forward to the next 2-3 weeks of practice as I continue to cement my new process into my game and to future successes as a result. I'm 51 years old, playing the best I've played in my life (before the class) and believe that my personal best isn't even close yet. And I have a way to get there and it's exciting as hell!
Thanks to Randy and Scott for a great class. I look forwad to your next trip through the Old Dominion and the Master Class.
