All you have to do is ask!Buckeyejim said:Why won't someone at least give a ballpark figure on this school- at least I would have an idea if I could attend...? Sounds like something I might like to try!

Thanks Tanner, I was a little cranky y'tday - appreciate your info!TannerPruess said:All you have to do is ask!
It was $625 for three days, 8am to 5pm, with a lunch break around noon. I can go to a refresher course for free if I bring a paying friend. So really it is $625 for 6 full days of instruction. You can't and won't find any other deal like that.![]()
The 8am to 5pm is the schedule, but it is a little short of reality.TannerPruess said:All you have to do is ask!

Randy does not watch the clock and he keeps teaching until all material is covered. My classes ran well past 5pm, but no on complained.![]()
Randy runs a tight ship and no time is wasted. You get a very full 3 days of instruction and practice for your investment.

whitewolf said:She adjusted his stance to his body build and also analyzed every aspect of his stroke, noting the deficiences, such as cocking his wrist incorrectly. She was heavy on the pre-shot routine, especially the eye movement part (which I was quite surprised at). Stressed either pausing just before you shoot, and/or at the back of the backswing. She doesn't take a practice stroke until she knows the cue is lined up properly and the tip is aiming directly where it should be.
Also gave him some drills to do. She stressed doing the same thing every time - the number of practice swings, the eye movement, etc. - and in her own practice sessions this is pretty much was she does - fundamentals.
Yo PB, congrats. You know of what I speak.pbat2751 said:This sounds a lot like the class I took with catscradle.
The other thing I learned was the ability and confidence in my stop shot.
Its well worth the $ and the time to take the class and when I'm ready I'll move on to another one of his courses.
From my experience, to say that Randy "wasn't happy" with that situation, is probably a gross understatement.catscradle said:Unless of course, it was like my case where the course was under the auspices of another school New England Billiards Academy and we were out of there by 5 every day. Randy wasn't happy with that btw.
