Pissed Off at Hunter Lombardo! BEWARE!

I spent a few hours with Hunter myself about two weeks ago. Never been more confident in my fundamentals (or lack of in his words :o). Now when something is out of line, I can find it, fix it and be on my way in minutes, not days like a traditional slump. And that is exactly what he said he wanted to teach me, just to be aware of my stroke... I lost a match against a guy I play pretty even with yesterday. Missed two "easy" shot and took a few minutes. Found the issue and beat him 3-0 and 3-1 in the next two sets, with me going 8 and out half the games. I would have never been able to find why I was off that quickly before Hunter's lesson.

+1 for Hunter's lessons.

Something to note , Hunter has worked with and trained with some great instructors. Stan Shuffet , Tom Simpson just to name a couple. So , it stands to reason not to mention the O.J.T. ( on job training ).
 
I couldn't agree more he's a great player but what a classless act:frown:

OMG! I thought Mr. Appleton's display was awesome! He showed us exactly how he felt about what he had just accomplished. There is no reason for anyone to criticize this honest display of emotion. :angry:

More on topic...

Thanks for the post. I will be seeking Hunter out. As a golf instructor I always felt my job was to make myself unnecessary to my student. It seems from some of the follow up posts that Hunter does this as well.

Actually unless things have changed he has been under the wing of Joe Tucker lately as far as coaching goes. He was working with Ralf Eckert but the distance was disadvantageous...

Hunter is a true student of the game. If we had a whole group of American players with his drive and class ESPN would be nuts not to want Pool back on TV.... With the current crop of professionals someone needs todo some heavy weeding in the flower bed... Too many weeds.....

I believe Hunter was working on his break with Joe Tucker. He is a true student and professional . He will do whatever it takes to get better. At the Steve Mizerak Championships he missed a shot that cost him the game , there was a group of us who started to bet how many times he would shoot that shot before he quit...nobody won ..he shot that shot over and over for what seemed like forever. lol that's Hunter.

Yup...

A real quality guy that has the all of the pieces and parts it takes to be "mainstream" and also has the balls and talent to succeed in the pool world as it is today

I watched him shut down Earl Strickland at Capone's when Earl tried his sharking bullshit... Hunter got in Earls face and shut him down completely. I mean, got in Earl's face for real.

Surprised me a bit with him coming on to Earl that way but I laughed my ass off. Earl got quiet and seemed to just get gone.
