i look at it like this, some will get more from lessions than others, and also what is the content of the lession,
Scott works on fundementals-something I wish I had many many years ago. Scott is a great instructor for that and i recommend him to just about everyone, THE FOLLOWING IS JUST MY OPINION: he is most valuable to players who have 1-3 years experience, the key word is most, I have been playing well over 20 years and I still learned something and it was worth while, but I didnt get as much out of it as I would have after only playing 2 years of serious pool. I will take more lessions from Scott and the other night I met a guy at the pool room who is the most dedicated new player I have seen in a Long long time,, he shoots practice drills, 6 nights a week, is very dedicated and has high goals, I told him about Scott because he has some real bad habits that need to be broken NOW or they will haunt him for along time, I told him about Scott and said I would pay for half his lession, I would see Scott the same day and I know Scott would take care of me, everyone wins.
But there is alot more to playing winning pool than fundmentals alone, I learned alot from a old school player about stalling, he was among the best in the world at playing just good enough to win, which is an important skill if your goal is to make $$$,
I dont know a thing about league play and have nothing to comment on it, I do talk alot but only about things i know about, I'm the worst tournment player there is.
Solid fundmentals and playing good, watching your game improve is fun and I like that, and Scott teaches that, damn good I'll add too. But there is alot more to pool than just fundmentals, however solid fundmentals is THE most important aspect of being a player, so yeah Scott is great, better for less experienced players but still important for players of all speeds except SVB , Alex and 10 more guys. So if your not on the list of those 10 guys go see him.
Scott as far as I know dosent teach anything about being a action player, like how to matching or playing on the lemon. Like the coin flip thing you get a good read on someones willingness to gamble just by seeing if they will flip a coin for $$$, their answere gives me a good read on them, there is alot more to it than that. This is just one example of the aspect of pool lessions that just dont involve playing pool but winning pool, having said all that BS Crown City Cory shoots my nuts off like I never picked up a cue in my life.
Speaking for myself I have mostly been taking games where I have the worst of it and i'm loser the last few months, I never really took chances very often, I would if I made a score then I would step up-thats a great way to become a seasoned player(using scots fundmentals), now I do more often and have won in spots but overall i'm loser, I had a shot to win some $$$ the other night but played terrible-no excuses, i didnt rattle i just played bad real bad dont know why it wasnt the $$$, i'm going to keep taking the worst of it-most of the time, instead of looking for even games, for about a year I was a lock artist and a good one at that, i needed the $$$ and I learned to play just good enough to win, so thats over now I need to learn how to win a losing game, Playing Cory isnt gonna help that becasuse he plays ALOT better than me, and for what ever reason I play bad against him, I can win more games playing better players than him, for what ever reason he just brings out the worst in me, but that wont stop me from trying.
All this ties into Scott with out solid fundmentals in 99% of pool players, gamblers, etc must have to have a foundation to be who they are and Scott is the man to help create a player.
