Hey Everyone,
Just wanted to share the experience I had taking a lesson from Jay. Went to his house, he's got a beautiful 9' Diamond Pro-Am. He lives only a few miles from the beach so the temperature and ocean breeze make playing at his house the NUTS!
He started by checking out my equipment, making sure I have nothing too wacky. He then set up a few 9-ball layouts and had me run 'em. At this point he is observing my fundamentals and shot selection so he can figure out what level I play at. He does make a few suggestions, such as spreading my stance a little because it looked like I was crowding the cue. We move on to patterns, shot selection, and my break which is probably the weakest part of my game. We also play a few games together so he can share his thought process when he is at the table. He also taught me some great warm up techniques. Jay is very knowledgeable and gave me great advice on every aspect of the game which I know will help me improve.
What I like about Jay is that he does not want to make any drastic changes unless it?s called for. If it?s working why mess with it? He's been around the game since Jesus I think, and he knows what it takes to improve. He told me what I had to do to get better, and at my level it?s not stroking a certain way or lining up a little differently. I will highly recommend Jay to anyone looking for improvement in their game and will certainly see him again.
Thanks, Asgar
