John Schmidt request

[Pete]

Hi John,

Just rewatched your "Exactly how I run houndreds". It made me think that it would be great to have more indepth instruction into the diffrent parts of the game. So what i am requesting or hoping is for you and other greats to make some instructional DVDs on stuff like combo's that come up, finding dead balls in the rack, all the diffrent brake shots and the right spin for those shots (I know grady has a great tape on this, but more info is better than less), how to create break balls, and secondary break shots.

I think a DVD or DVDs covering these subjects would be great sellers.

And the other thing I would toss out to you is, look at how much work these traviling instructors get. People pay around $75 per hour with a min amount of class. I think you would be able to make a great little living doing traviling schools, and AZ seems to be a great way to get that word out (I wish I could do a lesson with you:smile

No matter what you do, My best wishes go to you and your family...

Pete

Have you read "Play your best straight pool"? It discusses all of those topics.

"min amount of class"???

OUCH...

LOL

Just messing with you.



John has made several offers for instruction within this forum, to include having students spend a weekend at his home. IIRC, John also had a very good 14.1 clinic at the 2008 DCC that was offered at a very reasonable price.

I think that John has the ability to relate to just about every player, and his personality is perfect for teaching the game. Will John do it full time? I hope so.

John did a good job at the Derby City in that clinic in 2008.


Both Rempe and Sigel did instructionals where they went over many of the break shots and told you what English to use.

John could do one like that, too. I think some of the thinking on what English to use is changing based on the success of some of the Europeans using a lot of draw on racks that traditionally were broken up using follow. I bet his dvd on this subject would add a few new twists to the Rempe/Sigel approaches.
