Don't know how this will be recieved but some of the locals have expressed interest in learning the game of one pocket. There are some very solid 8/9/10,
ball, and straight pool players here in Arizona, many of whom have had very little exposure to one pocket.
I thought I'd post my "press release" here for suggestions and your welcome critique. Any ideas, on how to improve my offer, will be much appreciated.
The Desert Classic Tour Arizona State 1P championship is only a few weeks away, Oct 18 and 19. I Hope to have a few "star" pupil's competing. Fast Lenny will be streaming and conducting an interview with yours truly. Hope all my friends at AZ Billiards can tune in. Updates later.
Advanced One Pocket Lessons; now available.
I am now offering quality lessons in the proper approach to the game of One Pocket.
Lessons will be, by appt. only, at my home, on my refurbished Brunswick Crown III, with new rails and new Simonis 860 cloth. I have video capability and feel that I can improve your one pocket game much better in my comfortable game room, than is possible in a pool room with its many distractions. I could make myself available at other venues, also by appt. only, with travel costs additional.
There is no hourly rate. I have broken the game down into three segments.
Lesson 1. The Beginning Game.
This teaches proper breaking methods, and how to best defend against a good break.
Lesson 2. The Middle Game.
This shows various manuevers, designed to gain the advantage over your opponent.
Shot selection is critical at this stage of the game.
Lesson 3. The End Game.
Learning the end game, usually "up table", is probably the most important part of learning to play winning one pocket.
The cost is $50 per lesson. Satisfaction guaranteed. I am not a "clock watcher" and these lessons could run 1 1/2 to 2 hrs. I want you to learn at your own pace.
I will only accept players who allready have basic pool skills in place. There are many qualified instructors to teach beginners correct stance, bridge, mechanics etc.
I will accept two players at a reduced rate of $75 per lesson ($37.50 per player)
This could be a good way to go. They could play each other, while I critique their shot selection, and point out their options.
All three facets of the game could be crammed into one long session. However I believe that would overload most players powers of retention. Learn all you can absorb about one phase of the game, and then move on to the next.
I would hope most would realize, I do not expect to become wealthy at this endeavor. I think you will find I have a lot to offer, and have a sincere desire to promote the game I have loved, (and taken on virtually all comer's) for over 50 years.
If you live outside the Phoenix metro area, I will work with you to make it an affordable, productive experience.
