Just scheduled Lessons with Mike Sigel!!!

Blackjack said:
I learn from Mike Sigel almost every day. That is because I watch his 150 and out against Zuglan regularly - as I consider the most incredible display of pool mastery that I have ever seen.

I have had the honor of playing Mike Sigel. He is a class act, a total gentleman, and simply the best there is. He will push you to play your very best - you either keep up or get run over by the steam train.

He is the same way off of the table when it comes to business.

Personally, he is one of the nicest people you would ever want to talk to - he talks a lot - and he talks to everybody.

I was bummed when Mike moved away from Orlando a few years ago. He had to return to Rochester to take care of his ailing mother. I loved watching Mike every other Wednesday afternoon - running rack after rack of 8 ball, 9 ball, and 14.1. It was an honor to sit there and give him the thumbs up when he made a great shot and looked around the room to see if anybody else saw it. He'd then smile and say, "That was a great shot... most players would think I $hit that in, but we know better!"

I was never charged a dime to watch.

Mike has had a few personal struggles the past couple of years, and it is just like him to respond to all of that by returning to where he lived when he ruled the pool world - Maryland. He has obviously landed with some good people that respect his status as a legend in our game. Good for Mike.

Enjoy your lesson, and while you are there - be sure to ask Mike who his favorite opponent was - and yes... he'll say Earl.

Thanks for the opinions Blackjack and Whitewolf. Since I live near Frederick, I might try to get some lessons and try it out. I am currently without a cue, so I'm a little vulnerable to any sales tactics, but it's a chance I'll have to take:wink:

If you call Champion Billiards or email them, they could tell you the prices. (I don't think that they would like me posting rates for them. Sorry.:embarrassed2:)

Thank you very much. I understand completely.

I wish I was close enough to even make it a day trip to get some lessons from Mike. Unfortunately as I am on the west coast it will have to wait until I am in the area.
