Well here is some wisdom Gene, you can only help people who actually are willing to put the effort into something to be better at it. Just because a person takes a lesson, reads a book on a subject, does not guarantee improvement. Effort='s chance of improvement. Only CHANCE!
Friend makes a good amount of his incoming inventing things, there are many products he has taken the basic idea what the product does, reengineed, tweeked, and made more efficient, easier to use, and his product does better job in end, with better end result.
Tough part once product is "perfect", and he admits not is perfect, is getting people to spend the cash for it, he has been sucessful mostly with word of mouth advertising. One invention was made for self, as he had problem, his friends saw what he had done to resolve problem, and said I want one. Simple idea turn to money maker sort of.
A far as Pool 2020 everyone who wants to be great, or better, should be, because of the information available in 2020. DVD's, Instructors, CD's, Books, U-Tube, etc. Not like 1960's when no one who was good. At Pool or great sold or gave in info freely.
Those who want to pay dues, put in time, practice, and learn, can be better. Not a guarantee, can? Those who talk only about being better, do nothing to that end. Still do not improve.
Also some people have Heath problem, physical limitation, or do not have it between ears to win, or become better. Pool is not about competition for them, it could just be fun with friends, or a time killer - entertainment like watching TV.
So if anyone would like to dispute the few facts, go for it I am like a Basset Hound all ears.
BTW I have noting for sale to improve your Pool game, so my advise & observations was for FREE, for you to think on or not.
