"Your course was well worth it."
Ted..I just went through your "course", and for a low end player like me, I picked up a lot of good pointers. It goes without saying, but I sure need to improve my shot making and pattern play shooting....I know that goes with a lot of continued practice. I'm in my late 70's and have only played for about 5 years, but I keep trying. The best part of your lesson for me was the breakout section, the comments on safeties, and to NEVER clear all one's balls except for one or two....try a safety instead. Your course was well worth it, and I shall view it many times. Perhaps a minor point.....In Part 16, page 29, you left out the link...!!!I also got a lot out of your pointers after you had been with Ken Tewksbury.....Thanks for all of your efforts....they all are a great help...

"I discovered several things I was doing to mess up"
Ted--Thanks so much for your Billiard Basic lessons! We have a pool table and my wife and I play just about every day, but I'd gone into a "slump" and was really shooting poorly. Thanks to your basics, I discovered several things I was doing to mess up, such as not following through, etc. Keep up the good work! Sincerely, Pastor Rix W. Tillman El Paso, Tx

"I began to shoot better than I ever had."
After not playing pool for a long time, about twenty years, I bought a pool table for my home after retirement. A couple of my buddies come and shoot 8 ball once in awhile. At first I was very rusty at it but I could still shoot a little straight. During Ted Mauro's Pool - Billiards 7 step Installment Instructions, I began to shoot better than I ever had. Not only did this program help me shoot better pool but it helped me get rid of some bad shooting habits and to focus more on my game. Thanks Ted, my draw, left and right English, and my overall game has improved. The seventh Installment has been the most useful instruction for me. I am still practicing and enjoying this part. I can now clean out six balls off the table most of the time. I know it will take awhile before I start with the seventh ball, but it is like Ted says, "Practice, Practice, Practice". Thanks a million Ted.

"As a complete beginner to pool i found the lessons very helpful."
Hi Ted,Thanks for the seven free lessons, as a complete beginner to pool i found the lessons very helpful, especially the basic fundamentals of the game, then i started playing and decided i had to buy a table of my own so i could practice, practice, practice!!! i try to play every day.I have printed off your lessons and use them for drills for mypractice sessions for at least an hour every day. I find i can play the men now and only have one ball on the table at the end of the game, still need practice to beat them though!!!cheers and keep up the good work, will keep in touch.
