I have a 2 hr. lesson with a pro coming up and wondered if there were anything I should ask him specifically. I guess I mean 'watch my stroke, follow thru,' etc. Are there many others? He is a very competent instructor so I hope he knows already.

Go into it with no preformed ideas.

Before the lesson, you should note several specific shots or situations that give you trouble during competition. Maybe you can't get position from X or maybe you have a lot of trouble making a ball from Y that looks easy or maybe you saw Efren get a nice safe from Z and you can't even come close.

onemorebrando...It's less about what you should ask him/her, than what they should be asking you! Just curious, but is your "pro" a professional player or a professional instructor...they are two different things (they can be the same thing, but they rarely are). Whoever it is, they should ask you what you expect to get out of the lesson, and then address those issues, along with whatever their teaching plan is. First and foremost, if they don't use video analysis to check your stroke, they are not a highly competent instructor. Using video is mandatory for all PBIA instructors, and vital to quality instruction. Good luck with your lesson, and let us know how it goes. If I were you, I'd bring a video camera & tripod and record the lesson while you do it, just for your own review.

It has been part of the required instructor training from the beginning of certification. Whether a particular instructor uses it with a particular student is up to the instructor.Scott, when did using video become mandatory for all PBIA instructors? This is news to me.
Well the lesson went great. Charlie Bryant went over many things with me, and I thank you all for taking the time to help.
