Lessons ! Just get some lessons !!

[CJ Wiley]

first understand your own personal goals and be resonable, at least at first

On the note of lessons...how does one move beyond that? How do I find a coach? Someone who is willing to help me reach my personal goal rather than just show me how to stand and hold a cue? Billiards is more than just cueing, you have pressure situations and learning ways of dealing with that. I need lessons but I'd get farther with a coach. So...how do I go about finding one? Any thoughts?

What level are you trying to reach? Where there's a will there's usually a way. Just first understand your own personal goals and be reasonable, at least at first with your expectations. imho

I look for no answers about anything from you.

And what lawn game used sticks in the manner as a cue?

And how well did spin work in this lawn game?

Did someone write a set of instruction on how to use a cue properly without first learning how to use the cue properly?

Did the understanding of spin come from people that never played the game or from people that first played the game and then past this on to others?

find a pro that lives in your area, or go to one of the pro tournaments, and ask for some help. Most, but not all, of the pro's will be helpful.

Also, if you live anywhere near texas, look me up.
