FYI, I just completed Disc IV of the Video Encyclopedia of Pool Shots (VEPS) series. Complete information, including demo clips and a complete list of shots, can be found here:


Here are direct links to the video clips:


Please check out the video clips and let us (me and Tom Ross) know if you have any feedback (positive or negative), suggestions, or questions.

FYI, information on the entire VEPS series can be found here:


Tom and I look forward to your comments.

Thanks,
Dave
 
Just watched the section on the plus two system. That's pretty good Dave. This is the first time I have watched any of the VEPS. I have heard nothing but good reviews. How much is it to buy all five discs?

Tom and I are very happy with all of the positive response so far. It makes all of our hard work seem worthwhile.

First of all,

BIG THANKS to you, Dr Dave, for providing useful/helpful links to my post:
"What is the best DVD for learning the diamond system?"

After briefly watching your demos and filtering/absorbing as much pertinent information as possible, my favorite section would have to be the Corner-Five video clip.

In less than 5 minutes, I was able to explain/convey those concepts to my fellow teammate.
And in what seemed like even less time, both my teammate and I were confidently, as well as consistently applying those concepts to help execute 3-cushion kick shots :thumbup:

Once we were able to get a feel for the benchmark shot of the table, we easily made contact with the object ball and took it a step further and began attempts at kicking to contact a specific point on that object ball.

Thanks once again for sharing your knowledge with the billiard community!

You're very welcome, and thank you for sharing your thoughts. I'm glad this one video clip has already helped you and your team. Opportunities to use this system don't come up often at a pool table; but when they do, the system can help you get out of trouble and sometimes win a game.

Regards,
Dave

Dave, my favorite was the plus (+2? +3) system for aiming 2 rail kicks. The info was useful. Initially I didn't get it but your step by step bit made it clear. It's so easy in retrospect, I'm looking forward to trying it out. Thanks for all you do for pool~

Thanks Creedo. The Plus System clip is my favorite also. At the risk of sounding arrogant, I think we have covered this topic better than any book or video I have ever seen. And the DVD has even more info and examples.

Dave

Nice, FREE links and plenty of good information in them too.

Dr. Dave's Video Encyclopedia of Pool Shots I is full of practical shots, one after the other, with CONCISE explanation. The video is so full of shots that you can't really process and utilize everything he discusses in one sitting. It's 1 1/2 hours long and when I say it's one shot after the other, I mean it. :smile:

Thanks a lot Joey. This means a lot to me coming from you. I respect your opinion, and I know many other people do also.

BTW, Disc IV is almost 2 hours long! Definitely not a "one-sitting" DVD.

Regards,
Dave

Was anybody surprised by the info about throw and speed. Both CIT and SIT are usually greater at slower speeds, but CIT is the same regardless of the speed with cut angles less than about 20 degrees.

This is important to know when trying to enhance or minimize throw with frozen combination shots.

I knew about CIT and slow speeds, but there was something new to me: greater tip offset/sidespin doesn't always create more SIT. For a while now when I had one that really needed to gear like crazy, I would go to ridiculous "3-tips" offsets... like in situations where an opponent's ball barely interfered with the cut and I really didn't want to make a questionable hit. Now I know I don't need to cue as far out... this not only increases my chance of throwing the ball enough, I'm in much less danger of miscuing.

As much as I think I know it all, I may be forced to buy the set when it becomes available =)

Don't forget to use stun and slow speed also when you really need to throw the ball, with SIT or CIT (except for cut angles less than about 20 degrees, where speed doesn't matter).

Resistance is futile ... pre-order the entire set now!!! :grin-square:
