Playing in Action and Tournaments
Every one of our instructors has made a career out of "playing for the cash" in action and major Professional tournaments. This is a major part of our curriculum. Confidence, knowledge, and strong fundamentals are what will make you winner in action or tournament play. Taking the strong fundamentals that you already have, adding the knowledge and the confidence of making the right decision on every shot is what will take your game to the next level.
Handicapping your opponent
Knowing whether or not you're in a bad game usually comes too late. You should know where you stand going in. Either as the player or the backer, reading what your dealing with accurately will help you book a better game. When you look at the game through the eyes of four players with almost 200 years on the road, they'll teach what you need to know about your game and how to safely read the speed of your opponents. This will teach you how to get what you need and only give what you need to win. We are going to discuss the ways to handicap in all games of pocket billiards.
The Stories
Through the two and a half days of the school, the most entertaining part will be hearing these guys tell the tales of great matches, Johnston City, years on the road, and everything in between. This should be priceless by itself.
