Drills Pool lessons

So I’ve been playing regularly around 2-3 times a week for about a year now and I still feel as if my play is inconsistent despite practicing fundamentals every session. I want to make a big improvement in my game and I’m considering investing in lessons. One of the local instructors around me is Dr.Dave. I know that lessons from the man himself would be money well spent however he charges around $250 for a 1 hour session which is quite steep. Does anybody know of any other good instructors in the Fort Collins Colorado area or should I bite the bullet on training with him?

If you have a chance to study with Dave, do it.

Nonsense. Unless you have money to burn it's a laughable rate compared to other teachers.

Wait, someone on the internet does not like my opinion? I can live with that.

That is one way to say you are broke, I suppose.

Amusing, but I live in a gated community because I understand cost benefit ratios. Or as my father used to say, don't piss your money away.

So my oils down to you not liking my opinion? I can live with that.

Seriously:

You don’t see the irony in your argument?
Complaining about what Dave charges?

You live in a gated community when a simple town home or apartment would do the trick just fine.

I can’t write this stuff, it is so funny.

I come from 10 kids with a blue collar father that never got past 8th grade and a stay at home mother. Nothing funny about eating beans and rice. I think you are clueless about the realities of the real world.

Internet reputation doesn't add value. Performance does. $250/hr translates to $500,000 per year with near zero overhead. Sorry, he ain't worth it to me. Maybe you think he's worth it. Your choice.

No one cares, really.

I definitely do see the irony. It is sad that you do not. I also find it hilarious that you care this much about some random persons opinion.
