Talent on AZ

Scott I have no problems with the BCA, or you, and really, if youve never been in the "ZONE" how can you teach someone to get there? you dont, you may claim you can, but all your really doing is being a "coach".. If the billiards instructional material available was all absolutely correct then why do players seek instruction from outside sources??????? such as tennis? Golf????? BECAUSUE THEY ARE TIRED OF THE BS. apparently they realize that what they are getting is comming from a "Idealist" someone who has an IDEAL of what the player needs or what they think a player needs and some might actualy improve some players to an extent.

AS a Whole If you look at the billiards industry, the majority of the percentage of sales of Billiards instruction comes from players. People want to learn from players, not an "Idealist" granted I have my own idealistic views, but this comes from actual time at the table, from not only Victory but also defeat. Id like to be able to say I beat every high calibur player ive encountered, but that would be a lie.

you say Im "Old School" I say, If Being able to Achieve Dead Stroke is Old School Im all in. My views, may not be accepted by the BCA, This is the Internet and I speak to the WORLD If these people sent me an e-mail and tell me, the material on your site is total BS and even though Ive tried and gave my all it in no way helped me I will remove it. I dont care what you think, and calling me out wont do any good because we have been down that road correct? Since my site has been up you yourself have taken several cheap shots at me or the site. Thats ok, your entittled to your opinion, but at some point Im going to want to defend myself. Why? I havent taken any cheap shots at your school. But fair is fair... I think if you want to totaly disrespect me, I should have a right to uphold my values. I say enough already, Im not trying to segregate the billiards industry, I say lets work together.

Im working hard, and Im in contact with alot of potential contributors to my site, every one a PLAYER. No wanabe's are allowed. Thats my Vision, a site dedicated to Players.

SPINDOKTOR...Just so you know, I'm not calling you out...however, some of the information on your site IS incorrect. I'm not sure how you can quantify that you address issues not covered in pool school, since you've never been to one. Getting "in the zone" is first about getting control of your stroke, and then creating a perfect, repeatable setup and delivery process. The information is provided to the student...but it up to them whether or not they're willing to put in the hard work to make it replace what they were doing. Being a good instructor is not about being a good player. Those of us who can play well, as well as teach, have an advantage...but almost always in any sport, the best teachers are not the best competitors. Pool is no different. Your achievements as a player really are unrelated to your potential ability to convey accurate, quality information. There are tons of champion players who can't teach a lick. Efren is one, and makes no bones about it, to anyone who asks. It's too bad you "have no desire" to be associated with the BCA instruction program. You likely could learn a LOT about becoming a better "coach" yourself...provided you came to pool school with an open mind.

Just checked your site, I'l go back for sure. And pay more attention to your posts,

As to teaching versus doing, in another sport, I have been a teacher for years, and most of my students have surpassed me in ablities at that sport. They are not the same skills. Teaching and doing, I mean. My partner for the lessons for the last 10 years has been a lady with a completely different "voice" but we both teach the same thing and some days, I get through, and some days she does. Its that "different voice" thing, works in sales, works in teaching
 
I dont give any advice because I'm not good enough to do it:D I can run a rack every now and then and then I cant hit the side of a barn. My high run in 14.1 is only like 18:( I have run 8 and out in 1pocket before but it doesnt happen much. I have more of a chance of running an 8Ball rack than I do 9. I'm twice as good at 8 than I am at 9. For some reason I cant shoot 9 well, but my break is pretty good. I made the 9 on the break 3 times yesterday on a barbox and twice in a row. So I'm just a decent player that will take in any advice from others that DO know the game.
 
SPINDOKTOR,
I visted your website earlier today and found your posts to be a most enjoyable and mind expanding read. Things that i've forgotten and have taken for granted were all there.

Thank you for sharing your information!

the only talent I have seen on AZ lately are the Avitars. ;) Thanks guys keep up the good work, nothing like something now and then,


there are ALOT of very talented players here, most dont post. If your involved in pool in any capacity other than a banger and live in America you have to come to AZ for something,


Scott Lee is a great instructor, I did a session with him and would recomment him to everyone but Efren and about 10 other guys. Jordan had a coach, Tiger does(i think), Boxers do. "Those who cannot do must teach" is an old saying and to some extent is right. I couldnt imagine getting lessions from Keith(he is a great guy and fun asnd it would be fun but I cant see him giving advice-unless its gambling advice). I'm not knocking anyone here Scott or Keith we all have our nitches in life, Scott is a teacher, Keith is a gambler. Switch their rolls and I'd bet neither would do as good as they do in their current rolls(keith go get in action-forget internet poker!!!!).

I think you are correct there. I cant remember his name but Tiger changed coaches about 2-3 years ago I think and has kept him ever since I believe.

Sorry, I haven't had a beer in over 21 years and counting - so here's what we'll do... you shoot with the skinny end of the cue and I'll shoot with the fat end with that big rubber tip. For every shot you miss, I get 5 points, for every shot I miss, I get 10 points. The loser has to go to Atlanta to get lessons from Fast Larry. Fair enough?

No bet. NO BET!!

Come on.... A road trip to Atlanta... Lessons with Fast Larry... after you learn everything there is to know from "The Master" we can go up the road and play doubles with Johnny and Kimmer.

:p
