First lesson with Scott Lee
- Thread starter HRROCKET
- Start date
This is one of the best investments you will make in your game. All the instructional books will be of little value if you cannot execute the shot consistently correctly.
You will find a Scott has bundle of energy. He really enjoys teaching and helping others. He will tape the lesson for you. Watch it over and over to keep picking out all the things he says.
You will enjoy the experience. Have fun. Say hello for me.

Will be watching ESPN for you on the 11th day. Maybe not because your brain will be sore from all of the material you will be exposed to.
I wish I would have had something like that available when I started into the game. Your game may go down a notch until you get rid of all of your bad habits but stick with it. You will not be disappointed.

Are Driz and Denzy siamese twins? What is it that causes these cretins to post denigrating backhanded slams at pool instructors. I think Mr. Lee's qualifications and expertise in improving ones game have already been established in previous posts. Testimonials abound from his former and present students. If you have some personal experience with Scott, by all means share it, if you have no personal experience with him....then for gawds sake crawl back under your bridge and continue to hibernate, we will wake you when it is troll mating season.
Scott could give you the 7 and still win easily.
Congradulations. My first lesson with Scott is just a few days after your's. Mine is in Mid January.

bobroberts...Thank you, but that will never happen, as I have nothing to prove...to driz86, or anyone else. Any teacher who is only there to PROVE how good they play, is not a very good teacher, imo. As I've said before, the best instructors are there to help their students develop THEIR (the student's) potential, not to prove that they can beat them! Anyone who believes the "if you can't beat me, you can't teach me" motto, is barking up the wrong tree!:grin:

Personally, I would only take advice from somebody who passed the eighth grade.
Now that's funny.
Who cares how good any instructor plays; you're paying for teaching ability not playing ability. If my teacher runs a 100 balls, but can't teach me what good is that?
Some people think taking lessons is an admission of personal deficiency.
Its like people spending thousands on guns, but refuse to take lessons to shoot the ones they already own better.
There's a saying "beware the "old timer" with one gun he probably knows how to use it". Obviously doesn't apply in every case, but I hope readers get the idea.
jdxprs...You'd be amazed. We have pros that come to pool school. You don't know what you don't know. After pool school at least you KNOW what you don't know (and how to fix it yourself). :grin: You're never too old to learn...until your mind closes. When you quit learning, you quit learning! Might be worth getting a video analysis of your process, just to refinforce that you like what you're doing...and that it really IS accurate and repeatable. Kinda like preventive maintenance on your pool game! Oh yeah...and then there's that "money back guarantee" thing too!

It's well-established in the sports world that teachers/instructors are not always going to be as good as their students. Tennis coaches and golf instructors are a prime example. Some top players could have the moxy to be a good coach, but I've seen plenty of bad advice coming from a top-notch player to someone of lesser talent. A lot of players are not made out to be good teachers. Scott, on the other hand, is top-notch.

I have never had a lesson before. I can’t wait to have a professional instructor work with me. All your friends like to tell you what you are doing wrong. A professional teacher/instructor can watch and fix what you are doing wrong. Do I care if Scott can beat any certain person? NO that is not what I am paying him for. I am paying him to work with me and my skill set to improve me. I will post after the lesson and let you guys know how it went..

Learn everything and use what works was Bruce Lee's philosophy...
I was taught things at a very early age from one of Eddey Taylor's best friends and I still find myself 20+ years later going " omfg thats what he was talking about" Hell I may be the last tru twist banker left on the planet.
The difference between taking the lesson from a player and taking lessons from an instructor is pretty simple... The player can usually show you how they do things and point out flaws in your processes but they cannot always tell you what path you must take to fix them... Everyone is not cut from the same cloth....
Knowing whats wrong is only half of it which is where having a coach or an instructor comes in. A good coach or instructor will not only identify the flaws but they will send you away with an actual plan of attack for making the corrections required for you to stick your head thru the next level... Thats some pretty strong medicine....
If you are gonna spend some jack then make sure it's going to have a long term benefit. I'll pay good money to a pro player for a lesson on breaking the balls or analyzing the rack, jumping technique or even percentage analysis as to when to run out or when to play safe...
But if I am looking for a way to improve my overall game I think an instructor is by far the better choice. Preshot routine, setup/aiming/eye dominance, actual pulling the trigger at the right time, and tempo are so person specific that you honestly have to find someone who will work with your own dynamics and physiology and not just say "thats not how I do it"
Ohhh and if anyone is at derby and wants jump lessons I'll volunteer those for free... Am not quite prospeed but like I said "learn everything and use what works".....
