I'd like to learn some from my pool idol, Ronnie "Calamba" Alcano. Of course, hands down, anything I can learn from Efren "Bata" Reyes would be a treat.

I've already taken 3 days with Stan Shuffett, and there aren't enough superlatives to tell you how great an experience it was. I came away with tools to help me all year, and I'm planning to go back again this year. Stan is super experienced, a fabulous communicator, and busts his butt to make sure that he helps you. Plus he's very reasonable. The discount you receive as a returning student is even more attractive.
That being said, I'm sure that I'd receive value for my effort from Mark Wilson, Randy G and Scott Lee, Allison and Gerta, but since I'm a Straight Pool lover I'd choose Ray Martin and John Schmidt first...Tom

Jerry Briesath, Stan Shuffet, Joe Tucker, Mark Wilson. Jerry because he has been one of the premier instructors for years and years and I've heard nothing but good things about him.
Stan, I've also heard good things about.
Joe Tucker because I've seen him as a player and what he has shared with the pool world impresses me.
Mark Wilson because he had a reputation as a very fine player and he is a student of Jerry Briesath.
I'd throw Hal Houle into the mix because of what I've learned from him just on the phone and for his experience being around people like Ralph Greenleaf and son on.
I've had lessons from three former World Champions and one road player. The one that did me the most good at the time was from the road player.

as far as lessons are concerned then people like stan shuffet, mark wilson, hal houle, and joe tucker for disecting the rack.
as for players then mostly not many of us know what they are actually like as teachers. but nevertheless i would love to talk pool for a few hours with earl, sigel, and john schmidt, and probably a few others.
they seem like people with immense knowledge who communicate well and have a passion for the game. oh and grady and billy!!

Jim Rempe
I have taken lessons twice from Jim. Once for straight pool patterns and once for 9 ball. Jim is an amazing teacher and knows more abount straight pool than probably anyone on the face of the earth. He quickly picks out flaws in your stroke and really emphasizes the hesitation on the back swing which helped me a lot. He also teaches the intricate parts of english and speed transfer and 2 rail position.
What also is great is that he gives lessons at his home on a beautiful Connolly Ultimate table that plays great. I would highly suggest Jim.

I took my first few lessons from Jeff. I drove 4 hours each way to see him. This was in 2000 and he was in Madison at Cuenique. Last I knew he was still in Wi, somewhere around Racine or Beloit, but as far as I know he is not teaching. His, and Mark Wilson's, former teacher.. Sailor of Racine is still at it!
