I'm going to attach this thread to my signature so that the next time someone complains about my book prices or my prices for instruction, I can show them the alternative. If I knew players were willing to pay these kind of prices - I would raised my instructional rates a long time ago.

lol

David...I'm not convinced they are willing. $100/hr for a group lesson, no matter who the 'pro' is, imo is highway robbery. You should be getting one-on-one with any of these guys, for that kind of money, imo. We'll see how many people step up for this "bargain"!:rolleyes:

wow did you read the small print. 3500 but if two ppl sign up and share a room it cost 3000.

lol i hope that means the girl im sharing a room with is putting out :eek:
j/k J/K

so basically i have to pay 3000k and have to share a room with someone? lemme guess ... if its a single bed then they knock it down to 2999

i'll take a full day for 500 with Scot Lee any day. And i havent even met the guy.

Which reminds me SCOTT LEE check your PM's !! Never got back to me about the Atlantic City thing!:mad:
 
Wish I could spare the dough! Now if it were $500 for one day, I probably could dig it up. I guess Allison and her bunch gets fees in that ballpark, right? But I don't see how, really.

This has big-time spring training "fantasy week" appeal, but I can't afford to shag flies with Cleon Jones or get belated 1st baseman's tips from Mex, either, I've got to admit, though my dentist can!

And I'm no cheapskate ... took 2 valuable half-day lessons with Scott a couple of years ago. They still give me plenty of things to work on and keep in mind.

It's not just the instruction. Although I know Tony to be a great instructor, I don't know how much teaching Thorsten does or whether Efren or Busta have ever taught formally.

But of the 4, Tony is a great teacher and the others are World Champions...one of which, Reyes, is thought by many to be the best player of all time.

A LOT of people would gladly pay a hundred an hour to hang with those guys in a teaching environment for two days.

Alli and Gerda get the same money. They are both outstanding teachers and of course, Alli is widely regarded as being the best female player of all time with the POSSIBLE exception of Jean.

The greatest pure instructors there are...and I consider you to be one of them...are not among the greatest pro champions of all time so you don't have the HISTORY to sell along with the instruction.

People who take that class will tell the story of hanging and being taught by those great champions for the rest of their lives.

That is priceless...and for everything else, there's Master Card. And there is NO DOUBT that the class will sell out.

In fact, I'm in Alpine right now for the WPBA San Diego event and I can tell you for a fact that one of the female pros I mentioned about is going to sign up for the class...as a student!

Jim

I don't want to hijack this thread, but I'm curious what he showed you.

Would you mind elaborating? Perhaps in another thread?
 
Ever the Snooker/pool camparison junkie this made me curious what the Snooker guys are charging...

Ex Snooker Pro Terry Griffiths charges ?117.50* (around $200) per HOUR. (also $2000 for 8 hours!)

Nobody knows how good a coach Efren is but if I had the choice of the two I'd prob pick Efren. Efren is probably overkill if you just want to learn the fundamentals but most top and pro players could probably learn lots of stuff from Efren.

Thorsten and Tony are excellent teachers and I have spoken to many players that have worked with Charlie Williams, and he is also excellent. Myself, I have learned cue ball control and stroke techniques from Efren and Francisco -

I made my statement not to bash any of the teachers - These guys are awesome - I was just laughing out loud at the way everybody was willing to pay that much for the knowledge after I was recently told that my books cost too much and that my instruction rate was excessive. I just thought it was funny. I wasn't saying anything negative about Predator Pool School at all - some of these guys are my friends and I support them.

Having learned most of what I know from Cisero Murphy - a man that is not remembered for his teaching skill - I know to never discount anybody when it comes to relaying knowledge. I learned so much by just watching Cisero and listening to what he told me to do.

I also learned a lot from Hal Mix, who IMO, was probably the greatest influence on what I do today. Gene Nagy is another person that showed me more about straight pool than my brain could handle at the time.

$1500 to be in the same room as Efren, Thorsten, Tony Robles,and Francisco Bustamante - in the long run - how could you put a price tag on that? The only downfall I see is getting people into that setting that don't want to learn - they just want to rub elbows with the pros. Other than that, this is an excellent opportunity to learn from some great players -

Charlie - if you pick J'ville or Orlando as your location - feel free to give me a call and I will provide you with material on the mental game - - I'll give them to you for FREE - just pass this material on to the students that attend this event - and I'll even translate a copy into Deutsch for Toastie - :p . For the guys that speak Tagalog - tell them I said they're SOL.
:p
 
Well said Blackjack. Just spending private time with those people is priceless......SPF=randyg
