Looks nice setup Terry fair play mate.

Manu147,

I think you need to use the PM to clear this up with Terry,, imo.

Its a personal matter that I know you guys can sort out.

All the best..

I too think you have gone about this in the wrong way Manu147, Terry has nothing but good intentions and if you had a problem you should have addressed it in person at the time or if you felt stronger about it as more time passed you should have contacted Terry directly and not on the forum.
I hope you can sort out your differences and stop posting on here as it is not helping your cause.

Good Day,

I had a 3 hour session with Terry at his home yesterday, I arrived at 11 am and Terry guided me down to his basement, showed me his table and new Mike Woodridge cue, very nice, I took a few shots and was very impressed, it looks and plays great. We talked about my expectations and he went over what we would do in afternoon, gave me some experimental tips and some new chalk, it was close to lunch so we went out to a local restaurant, food was great. Session started at 1 pm, Did a video recording of me potting blues from spot at medium pace with camera directly over pocket. Terry then did a video analysis of my Cueing technique stating and recording on paper my short comings and explaining what caused this and how to rectify. This was repeated with video recording of side view. I was very impressed with Terry's knowledge and ability to point out the problems, the cause and how to rectify. A break (smoke) some fresh coffee and then to the table where he showed me how to apply and adapt the corrective measures that were identified in the video footage. We prioritised the list of shortfalls and started on the task, It took a while to get my stance right but I feel comfortable with it and understand the reasoning behind it. Before leaving terry advised me to only work on 1 shortfall at a time and it will all fit together like a puzzle. I am very happy i went for the coaching lesson, it showed me allot of things that i had no idea existed, I now have a plan to repair and improve, I feel the training that I will be doing in the next few weeks will be different but more rewarding than just potting balls. Next thing I new it was 5:30, we never seen the time go bye, Terry did not keep me on a clock and did not ask me for extra payment, he stood bye the 3 hr agreement. All in all, I highly recommend Video Analysis and Coaching by an experienced coach such as Terry, I feel that the long drive and money spent was well worth it.
Cheers,
and thanks again Terry,
Will let you know how well the puzzle comes together.
It came to my mind that he might have to meet me in competition some time, only him to blame. lol

Sounds good

I'd like to thank sharkster for the kind words and it does mean a lot as he had to drive over 4 hours just to get here.

However, now he has a lot of work to look forward to as we came up with a healthy laundry list of items to work on.

Wouldn't expect anything less from Terry. He really knows his stuff and he always does his best to help every member on this forum. Time he also doesn't get paid for.

Top guy!

I second that.

[throtts]

And I third that.

He goes in depth in his postings which take time.

On forums and behind a key pad peoples inner self come out, Terry obviously a top bloke.

[Terry Davidson]

Thanks for all the kind words. I think my hat size just increased a notch or two

Hi Terry nice to find someone from my area on here. I purchased The Snooker Gym from Nic about three months ago and have been working hard on my game. I have a 1898 Pfister 5x10 Snooker Table that came out of the St.Thomas Shrine Club. A real piece of history. Might be interested in some lessons at some point. Ball positioning and making the previous pot first....lol
