I just had a 3 hour private lesson with Earl (Strickland). It was the most enjoyable, productive 3 hours I have ever spent at the table. He is really a thoughtful, passionate (about pool) guy. We went over a bunch of things, and we didn't move on until he felt I totally understood the point and could execute it. It was suppose to be 2 hours, he threw in the last hour. It ended with him saying "I really enjoyed this. Call me if you want to go over anything"
