Hi there,

I have a question about poolschool with Scott Lee, and Randy G. Say the player has the skills to break and run out in 8 ball or 9 ball on occasion. What can a student expect to gain from attending poolschool? Like a strong SL5, will they be playing as well as a 6 after they get home? I guess the thing is, is that the money for the course is kind of a lot for some people. And the course is sight unseen. So what can someone expect? Is there a satisfaction guarantee?

I hope this does not offend anyone; I just want to be an educated shopper.

I went to Randy's school and before I attended, I thought I was a great shooter. After going through the school and allowing a little time to practice the things he showed us, I stepped up to a whole new world of great shooting. I am way more consistent and I am on a 20 game winning streak in our 8 ball league. I guarantee you will be satisfied with how much your game will improve.
 
I don't know about Randy's pool school, but I know Scott will tell you that if you didn't feel what he taught you during the first hour was worth it, you don't have to pay him.
 
Billiardpete,

I believe that no matter what skill level you play at in any sport, it would be beneficial to be able to retain an instructor to reinforce and push your skillset at that sport.

Pool Schools generally teach the same program with individual emphasis on different aspects, but what you can gain from any school is directly proportional to what you want to learn.

I went to RandyG's traveling school in CT and I learned a great deal about why I do what I do and what I need to improve on. And I holed myself up in my basement for quite a few months afterwards trying to reinforce what I learned at school.

It's definitely worth the money, and even sweeter if you can catch a traveling school nearer you.

I haven't attended their school either but have been to Allison Fisher and Gerda Hofstatter's school twice...plus a private session and for sure, it was WAY worth it.

BUT...be prepared to go backward before going forward...depending on what it is about your present skill level that needs to be changed!!

Best,
Jim

The classes that Randy, Scott, and several others including myself teach are all based on the same principles. And there are very few, if any, players who couldn't benefit from the class. I had one student who was an APA-5 last year. After taking the course, within 7 or 8 months, he was an APA-9. This is not to say you would see the same improvement. Much of it depends on what you do with the information presented in the class. If you don't expect to learn anything, don't waste your time. If you go in with an open mind, and are determined to learn as much as you can, and apply it as recommended, you will most definitely see your game improve.

Pool school

How many levels you go up is impossible to determine. You will taught the correct way to play pool and given the correct fundamentals to work with. Then your talent, dedication, and desire will be the limiting factors in your improvement. You may go up several levels depending where you are now and you may only increase your consistency but either way you will be much more knowledgeable able how to play. Without the school prepare to spend years trying suggested methods before weeding out the ones that don't work.
 
Many very good players are really not very good teachers and for lots of reasons. It often is not that they are arrogant or just don't care. I gave lessons for many years and became very frustrated with it because I felt I never communicated information very well. They became frustrated as well.

Since I moved to Texas app 6 years ago, i have recieved nothing but positve feedback about the Pool School and Randy. All seem to come away with more knowledge than one would imagine them to have. To have knowledge and an ability to communicate it to students is a very special gift. There is an old saying, "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing."

As stated above, be prepared to take a step back and then many forward.

My advice, give yourself a chance. Take the course and gather information. If you think about it, it really is the SHORTCUT.
 
Coaches

Great tennis players have coaches...great golfers have coaches...great ball players have coaches. Even great pool players may NEED coaches. No sportsman in any game can know it all!

Billiardpete...I will be in MA, giving lessons next weekend, if you're interested in getting together. Email me for more info. As was mentioned, if you're not satisfied, you'll pay nothing...

I have always experienced the same thing. After a lesson or being corrected on something it seems as if I went backwards for a while before realizing the improvement. You have to stick with it and not get discouraged. I think you can see this in pro sports also. A team will get a new coach and be bad for a while because of getting used to a new program or style before they see improvements.
