Lessons in NYC

[miltonobote]

Can anyone recommend a good insturctor in NYC? Also, have you used this instructor yourself?

What are costs per hour?

I've been playing for a couple of years now and want to move beyond the basics.

Thx.

I thought Skor lived on another planet after seeing the hour times he is on-line...,While you are at it Skor.....find one in the Southeast...I'm game for a good instructor before I get too old to learn. 8) mike

He is a great instructor and well woth his fee, he used to teach at Corner Billiard but I think that he is at Amsterdam Billiard now.

I was planing to get some lessons from him but never got to it 8O

Tony is a fantastic teacher.
Very well worth the money in terms of lessons.
Get him to talk through his choices in shot selection when he runs out a rack.enjoy.

Ok on Tony Robles, but any other suggestions for instructors?

Also, what does Tony charge (approx) and do instuctors give a discount for two people taking the same lesson as opposed to doubling the fee?

Thanks again.

Taking lessons in groups is fine at the beginner level, but at an advanced level you'll want a one on one session, because each player progress at different rate, you'll have one that is behind or on that is bored and thinking that he's throwing money away.

As for how much Tony charge, ask him
