Who Were Your Mentor or Mentors For Playing 3C??

I heard Jamison Neu mention Harry Sims.

The only one who come to Mind For Dieckman is Carl Conlon.

I have None Only a Friend are two who show me The Love of this Game,Bill Johnson and My Befriend Dieckman. If I was to pick someone I would say Roberto Rojas or Adrian Viguera [sp?] I just love their Style and Attitude toward the game.
 
Eddie Gasbarre taught me the natural and remains my favorite opponent.

Dieckman provided the cue that gives me a gift with every shot.

Sang Lee was the greatest champion I have whitnessed, not just for his awesome talent, but for his support of great play wherever it came from, and his humility as a champion. Humble in victory, caring of others, unique talent... Even if I never attempt another billiard, Sang Lee is a worthy mentor.

I have met so many people in 3C who inspire. It is the game to play
 
Sang Lee

Sang Lee was my friend and mentor throughout the 1990's into the early 2000's. Learned a lot about the game from him. Sang was the most generous person I have ever met.

Thank Guys for answering. But I wish more Azers' would joint in this discussion. Viewers don't be sly Register is Free, and we might find some interest Names popping up.

Would be nice to add Mentor/Mentors pictures no matter how Old or New.

I will put the question this way. What 3C player have you Mentor?

I would one day love to be a Mentor to this young lady.

In my Dreamzzzzz!!!
 
WALTER Martin...........owner of Rockhill Billiards in Kansas ciiity, Missouri showed me that I had a lot to learn about the game....... back in the late 60's and early 70's. He invited me to his Sunday tournaments and there were several older gentlemen there who taught me a lot! Also Don Brink ... Owner of Raytown Recreation......he showed me a couple systems that immensely inproved my game.

Delmar Edel and Jim Young were my teachers in the beginning. Delmar would sit for hours at Bensingers in Chicago when he lived there and watch the top players in the country in the middle of the last century. Then, when I started to leave Mudsville and play in other tournaments, it was George Ashby that I gravitated toward. His style of play and his attitude toward the game and it's players is wonderful.


Hey Mole. Are you sure Mentor is what you want to do to her?

Too Old for anything else, Well maybe a Golfer or Tennis squeeze!! Or a massage she look like she need one View attachment shannelle loraine.bmp

I would love to know who her Mentor was? Along with J. Lee, Monica Webb, Ga-Young Kim, and Sarah Rousey to mention a few female 3C players.

I would love to see a live 3C Streaming match between Monica Webb vs Sarah Rousey during the 2010 DCC. But more would want a match up with
Shannelle Loraine vs Jeanette Lee.

ps FOR SOMEONE THAT CAN 'T SPELL you got Adrian's name right even the Viguera....some day I hope you can meet him....if so your lesson will be for free cause he owes DDD big time
 
Lefty

Well for me it was an old feller named Lefty. I grew up playing pool in Nick's Pool Room in Gloucester Mass the same place that Jimmy Reid learned the game. It was in 1967 and a great old pool hall. The was a shoe shine stand in the front of the place and you then entered the pitch dark of the pool hall. NO windows and only one way in and one way out thru the front door. The 'mens only' pool hall was smoky, dark, and fairly forbodding the first time you entered, and new players had to start from the back tables. The only way to get up to the front tables was to beat other players and gain some respect or you'd be stuck in back forever. They had one billiard table that was unheated but was the domain of this rather thin rakish fellow named Lefty. He would sit patiently nearby in his fedora hat smoking one cig after another waiting for anyone that wanted to play billiards. One day he came up to me and complimented me on my game and said I ought to learn to play billiards cause it would help my nine ball and straight pool games. His reasoning was that to be a well accomplished player you had to know billiards. Well I knew who he was and spoke with Nick Denikas the owner and he convinced me to listen to old Lefty cause he knew his stuff. It has been a long time since then but if Nick and Lefty were still alive I'd Thank them both for their patience and the time they spent teaching me another way to enjoy pool.

My mentor is Eddy Merckx.
He's got the gift off making a lesson extremely easy.
With a few simple directions he can really have you step up your game.
 
Mentor

I played some billiards back in my teenage days (some say it was over 40 years ago, but that isn't possible). I thought I knew something about the game until I met Bob Byrne a couple of years ago. Due to some health and family issues I haven't seen him since last spring but I'm hoping to start playing a few games with him shortly. He's a great player and a great guy. His knowledge of the game is unmatched.
 
My mentor was Robert (Bob) Hempel, who used to make Fellini cases. He got me hooked a couple of years ago & I have never stopped loving billiards. I have got some insight from others like Hugo Patino & even Dirtybob showed me a nice clock system which came in very handy when he was passing through St. Louis. I appreciate every bit of knowledge which has come my way & hope I can teach someone what I have learned someday. Hopefully to a group of big breasted college girls. :grin:
 
I am kind of a rare bird here I have learned from so many people. I have to thank Harry for suggesting that I learn the big masse shots. I then have to thank Charlie Darling for letting me learn them on his Arcadia table. Also Ray town recreation for letting me continue my studies when I needed a place to learn.

I am one of the luckiest guys that has ever played this game. I have got to play almost every notable pro player in the world. During the last decade I played with maybe a 100,000 pool players, and at every possible skill level, so far I have learned something from everyone of them.

Even you Bobby the Mole I learned that you never play pool with "The Mole" on your team if his fouls can cost you points...lol
