I concur with Lou, this is one powerful DVD. If you are serious about improving your Bank game then this DVD is a must have. John's laid back style is easy to digest and he has a strong clear voice so you won't miss anything he says. I also like his repetitions of the same bank so you can watch different parts of what he does when he executes the shot. I especially liked the use of slow motion on many of the shots, although I wish they had used it on all of them. It's a good production with excellent camera work, good lighting, good audio and a nice clear picture. That makes it that much better. It has the look of a professional production and not something just thrown together.
I like to pause the DVD and try to duplicate what he's doing on a shot. I'm a reasonably good banker but he opened my eyes on several things. I felt like he was talking directly to me, since I was making many of the mistakes he talked about :smile:. He definitely shares some "secrets" of banking that have not been widely publicized previously. I can honestly say that I learned a few things from watching this DVD. It's really more for the intermediate or better banker and not for rank amateurs. They will not be able to execute these shots even if shown how. In all honesty, there are some shots on here that were hard for me to duplicate, even after seeing how they were done. You can't teach stroke! lol
Yes it's true, the price is high for a pool DVD, but the knowledge is invaluable. It's like having John give you a private lesson or two. How much would that be worth? John was hesitant to put this out there at first, because he knew it would also help his opponents. If you can afford it, it's well worth the price. If not then take a pass. Like I said, it's a valuable tool for the serious banker. In fact for any serious pool player who wants to learn to bank better. :thumbup2:
What I've seen so far looks good, though. It has to be the best thing out there on banking, that's for sure.
