Training Facility.

[JB Cases]

Hey JB! On vacation this week and might take a trip down to OKC this week and am hoping your Billiard Institute is up and going full force making champions. Would love to visit sometime this week.

Sorry haven't been on azb much. 405-693-0386 anytime.

Happy to say that I signed a lease on a space that will be used as the headquarters of JB Cases AND a training facility for our area.

We are moving tables in next week and will be setting up cameras and TVs and acquiring training materials and helpful devices.

We will be the only place for those under 18 to go for proper training in our immediate area.

Our goal is that every time you walk out of our "dojo" you will be a better player than when you came in.

I decided that I needed to be doing more hands-on work to make pool grow.

Awesome!
I wish you success and happiness.
Are you going to accept donations of money, goods, services or help?
I think some people would like to be involved at least at some level.

I will accept help soon. I have received some so far. We are not open 100% yet. I just got some ridgeback rails for a 7ft Valley. That table will be recovered next week and we will have a tough bartable that is probably as close to a Diamond as a Valley can be.

Right now I do have a 6ft Valley with huge pockets. Not sure if we will sell it or use in some way, maybe as a jump practice table.

The other Valley has a cracked slate, I have a new slate for it so I am planning on using part of the broken slate and turn it into a jump shot practice table, thanks for the idea Dale Chilton. I may do something with the other part for stroke training.

Still working on the cameras trying to hook them into the net so that we can livestream. I am hoping I don't have to scrap the 8 cameras we have and buy another system.

So far BullsEye Billiards has donated a training system.
BreakRak has donated a BreakRak, radar device, and a book on breaking.
CueSight.com has donated ArtScape cloth (SuperPro digitally dyed)
Jamacia Joes here in OKC has donated a Diamond Rack and A set of Aramith Super Pro Balls.
A local player has donated about 100 AccuStats matches on DVD and VHS.
Outsville - Chris Renfro - has donated rack templates and chalk and tips.
Dr. Dave Billiards has graciously offered help with training materials.
Stan Shuffett has offered to come for a clinic when we are up and running.
Several pro players have offered to volunteer time when they pass through.

And several others have sent me offers for which I am very grateful.

We will get there and then this will likely be an active spot with people hopefully excited about building their skills. We already have some people excited about possibly taking on coaching roles and looking at it as a sport.
