Terry's Coaching Facility

[Terry Davidson]

Please ignore the dust and cue shipping material underneath the table (I'll get that cleaned up sometime - I'm basically lazy).

I have two video cameras, one high speed, high def (120 frames per second) and one high def at 30 frames per second. Around the corner I have my training computer and a 32" hi-def TV along with 3 different types of software analysis tools, a mirror I can place on the table, training cueball, the 'True Pot' device. I also have a small selection of new and used cues which I can loan to my students for their lessons.

I keep a dehumidifier running and the temperature of the room is a constant 70F to 73F degrees with humidity always below 50% (in the winter it will drop down to below 40% sometimes).

Right now I have a #10 cloth on the table but it's around 8 months old and I have a new Hainsworth 'Precision' cloth I will be getting installed soon, along with a set of 1G balls. I'm missing an extended spider and a swan neck which would be nice to have but I can get along without them. I don't have long tackle but use a slip-on extension on a normal X-head rest for those long reaches. I also have my iPod and speaker system and about 1400 songs on there, mostly rhythm & blues to keep me company when practicing (I do this because most of the venues we play in are usually noisy and some of them have piped in music for the younger pool-playing crowd, which is a sore point with me).

Pity ur too far away, looks a good setup!

Looks amazing Terry. Love it!

[nullsys]

What a nice room!
I bet it's so quiet in there.
I feel like I have two of my own tables at the moment, the private club is always empty when I go. But to have one at home would be amazing.

You should do what Del Hill does, charge people to stay or camp for the week and charge for board and coaching

Hi Terry,

Lovely room mate, must keep you away from the Mrs..

Yes, I am sure I can see the blast line made from the black on its way to its corner pockets,, lol..Is the Hainsworth Precision heavier wearing..My No10 looks a mess after 6 months.

[jonnylovessn8ker]

Do you take one week's worth of chores, grunt work, and cooking for one weeks worth coaching?

[DeanH]

Fantastic setup you have.
But you must resist dumping stuff under the table.
Only jealous

That's a very nice room Terry, i was envisaging a big massive space all dark and creepy, a bit like Home Alone's basement lol

To answer everyone (not getting email notifications for some reason):

jonnylovessn8ker: no, but that plus 1,000GBP would work (normally 1,500)

throtts: I agree, my #10 is a little messy and not as fast. The Hainsworth 'Precision' is VERY fast as it's only 20oz and 30% nylon I believe. They have a demo video with Ding using it at the Star Academy I believe it is. They say it doesn't need ironing nor heaters (I don't need heaters in my facility anyway) but it's a bit expensive at around 300GBP.

nullsys: I have done that for one of my Master Coach students from British Columbia who stayed for one week, although he bought his own food.

Manu: C'mon it's only a 400GBP plane ticket! I can pick you up at Toronto airport. Right now it's perfect, weather is 30C and sunny but facility is at 72F with low humidity, but you have to like rhythm & blues. You could bring the wife and kids and rent a car so they can do day trips while we play. Lots to see around here and lots of shopping for her.

Thanks everyone,
Terry

[DG GIBERT]
