Quick opinion on business card design

I'm doing some quick business cards for a friend, and need to figure which direction to go. I did a couple quick designs and wanted a little feedback which you guys like better. Just a quick word or two (thumbs up, thumbs down) is fine.

Graphically, I prefer the one on the bottom, but it's ambiguous. There's no doubt what the top one is selling.

On the top one, you might consider aligning all three lines of type so that they're flush left.

Of the two I like the one without the large balls, the one with the diamond I like better. But generally I think the black doesn't work, but it could be just me.
 
I think the bottom one is the better of the two. I would personally drop the type down a little and make sure the are equal distance from the edge....it seems "george g" is closer to the edge than "lessons". Also, maybe bump the phone number up like 5 pixels.

With the cheap printing now a days, i would personally like to see this as two sided. One side with the 9 ball rack design, the other side with the info stacked in the center.
 
Like this?

yes, but I would bring all of the type closer together (the leading and tracking are a bit much) and maybe go yellow/white/yellow rather than white/yellow/yellow


...sorry, im a design nerd

I say put George G in the yellow stripe. The black on yellow contrasts better than the yellow on black

I like the top one. And I agree, put George in the yellow stripe. Makes it a little more noticeable.
 
I say use the top one but ditch the yellow stripe (except for jut the 9-ball)

then place your type on the right
 
So back to the basic question regarding which direction to go in, I'm afraid that the 2nd one might come off as a little pretentious. I mean, these are pool players after all. I wonder (fear?) that the top one might be a little better given the audience.

Personally I like the bottom one much much more. But will people pay attention or respond to it?

Put Lessons accross the top of the top one

The 8-ball and the 9-ball show (more clearly) what lessons he is providing.

again...ditch the yellow stripe...just use yellow text that matches the 9-ball stripe.
