* Your Pro Pool Clinic with Tom Kennedy, Matt Sherman *

[QUOTE="BilliardsAbout, post: 7560683, member: 6359

Is Tony Robles, a man I respect for his skills, knowledge and kindness, a cheap hack who took a quick cash grab for our videos, or did he agree (with me and thousands of my faithful website readers) that my teaching is awesome?
[/QUOTE]

When is Tony going to post here verifying your claim that your teaching is AWESOME?
I'm sorry, that's a question and we know you refuse to answer questions

ROFL!

That was an excerpt from a three-hour DVD including stroke mechanics (obviously you didn't read the text of the site that was linked), however, it is my pleasure to inform you that you've won an award from Matt's Pool School:

"Student Least Likely to Succeed Due to Short Attention Span"

Congratulations!

Post the stroke mechanic section. I’ll take the award in small change please.

Guess there is one video of him on the old World Wide Web:

I mean a miscue on the first attempt?

Come on man!

That's pretty funny but not surprising. Bad as it is it's actually better than the complete garbage he put up on that About.com site.

I do tend to post on weekdays in the mornings, I have a--how shall I put it--a job, a life. But how I could let the weekend go by without sharing Tom Kennedy's post:

"Matt is an awesome guy and we will be doing a clinic in Jacksonville. Please sign up soon."

TK has 4,800 Facebook friends and is followed there by 1,67

7 people, so I'm afraid he needs to get paid for our clinic first, but after, you can have the residuals.

And I see you've made a half-dozen trollings today about me. Don't overdo it if you want to get paid! We want it to "look good".

Your friend, Matt

PJ once asked you if English was your 2nd or 3rd language. He underestimated, it's more likely your 4th or 5th.
I'd refer you to post 161 where I asked when Tony Robles was going to tell us how awesome you are. That's Tony not Tom. Concentrate and you may realize that one has an ny after the To and the other one has an m. I know it's tricky but try hard and you may get it.
The only thing different on TK's FB are a couple of locked posts. Does one of those have something about you and your clinic? Seems making it public would be more effective.
Anyhow, still waiting to hear from To(ny) and for the umpteenth time, try to stop insulting everyones intelligence.

Your friend, Sparkle

Wow.

Fran, you're wrong, and I feel the need to correct you because you are speaking ill of your friend, Tony.

Tony Robles is one of the nicest people in our sport, and one of the most respected. So I was thrilled that About.com agreed he should be the Pro Demonstrator for my pool, billiards and snooker guide site there. However, Tony refused to sign the contract for videos, delaying the agreement until he could take time to "thoroughly check out the teaching" on my site.

Answer carefully because Tony is your "friend":

Wow. That's is so freaking convoluted, it's insane. You need to cut your losses at this point and walk away from this conversation.

First I'm "mysterious, enigmatic" (which sounds like you want a date, not a pool lesson) because I have, how did you put it? Oh yes, ZERO videos or instruction you can find, and you've "searched high and low". Then Mom (she's upstairs, you're still residing in the basement) shows you how to actually use Google, and you find my bestselling book and three-hour DVD, but instead of apologizing, you simply cannot comprehend what you've seen, and don't bother to think, so you win this month's award for:

"Laziest Troll of the Month for June 2023"

Congratulations!

I knew there was zero chance you would actually know how to quote someone accurately. Lol.

I assure you I comprehended what I saw. I saw someone "showing off" what looked like a 15 mph "power break" after miscueing on the first attempt. I see why you don't post videos now. You just keep digging yourself deeper here. Have you not yet noticed that not one other instructor on here has come to your defense? It may be time to just tap out.

Fran, you're lucky Tony Robles hasn't read this thread, where you throw mud on his character. It would end your friendship.

I've done paid and free endorsements for billiards and other products, but never without thoroughly vetting the products first. Would you be a paid pro demonstrator on an instruction site, ever, without carefully examining the instruction inside?

Tony told my company he would be unwilling to be our About.com pool demonstrator without first thoroughly checking my instruction. This delayed our video production team, but they and I were fine to have his standard of integrity applied. So every time you repeat nonsense like "he never saw my articles" you label him, one of the top respected pros, as a cheap hack out for a quick cash grab.

Get over your giant ego and admit your friend, Toby Robles, decided I'm a fine instructor.

I love adding obscure books to my pool library so today I bought a copy of Matt's book (mit DVD) off the interweb.

I can hardly wait for your thoughtful, honest review, starting with the first fact you've gotten wrong, it's not an obscure book. The first printing, thousands of copies, sold out in full.

PS. There's already a review of my book in my signature. ;)

PPS. Since a PBIA Master Instructor was my technical advisor, if you say one word of my book is off, you are taking a swipe at Fran's teaching. She is a fellow PBIA Master Instructor. Have at! o_O

An interesting viewpoint, since the New York Times editors who reviewed and approved my work felt it was of a quality worthy of inclusion--and promotion--like paying a video production crew, director, and Tony Robles thousands of dollars to add a pro demonstrator to my billiards site.

Setup a video zoom or a new thread here at AZ and I'll debate you on any billiards subject you choose so we can all see which trashman, Sparkle, is taking out the garbage.

It is time, yes, for you to tap out. Your long and pointless argument boils down to:

1) I've made strong claims I'm usashamed of, that I'm a good instructor who gets results from pool students, very fast, and I've been challenged in those claims

2) I've offered you a free lesson, to after come back here and tell the truth, good or bad, about my teaching, but you won't take me up on a lesson because of fear, so your pool game still stinks

And that's the lose-lose life of an internet troll. I adore teaching but you won't let me teach you, so I lose that fun challenge, and you lose because your game is in the "basement" still. Because trolls want to burn the world and make sure everyone loses and everyone is miserable.

I do not gamble. Not a bettor however betcha we aint gonna see nuthin. Talks the talk and talks the talk...and talks the talk. There is nothing to see. There are no instructional demo's/ samplers. There is no outlined course. Nothing but talk.

Um, the OP is mine, with an outlined course! That's why we're all (most of us) here!
 
Hello all,

Just a quick count here, I'm being trolled by five fools on one thread. The next one who replies to me with more of their nonsense is the person who is the most in love with me, the most obsessed with me.

Hahahahahahahahahahhahahahah!

I've been collecting pool books for over 50 years and never heard of your book, much less you.

A few days ago I asked Mark Wilson if he'd very heard of you and he said no, rattling off the names of several instructors from the Florida area he did know.

Regardless, I'm looking forward to taking a peek.

Pretty strong to guarantee a 90 second break and run to open the session. 👍

Does everybody get their money back if you dog that?

😁

This is the same garbage by the same person that we have had to deal with in the ask the instructor forum. It's been going on for years. Everyone else is to blame but him. We are all collectively always WRONG.


Tony Robles and I are just fine. You, on the other hand are mentally ill. Get yourself to a psychiatrist ASAP and beg for help.
