one of the things that Coach Lee stresses in his pool instructional video can be seen at 15:38 in the following video.

This video mark is ONE PERFECT example of what Coach Lee Brett teaches in his video about "getting your cue through the cue ball". In the following video between Landon Shuffett and Earl Strickland you can see what I am talking about at 15:38.

It is a painful experience for Earl, not just the match he played with Landon but this particular shot. He didn't do what Coach Lee says you must do on practically every shot. It's simple, but it is PROFOUND and we ALL make this mistake from time to time. Can you guess what the mistake is?
Coach Lee stresses to make sure you do this particular technique on practically every shot. His video is covered with incredible information that is seldom shared in a video format. You might read some of it somewhere but the video for me sticks. I guess that's because I keep watching it over and over and pick up something that I am doing wrong practically every time I go to the table. Oh-vey....

I hear ya Joey, I have watched that video over and over and over, but everytime I pick up something very suttle in his instruction.

Is it possible to play a cd so much that finally you cant use it any more. :wink: because I might be getting close.

John,
I have set the dvd on the side for the last couple of weeks. The elliptical machine sets idly by as well, waiting patiently for me to return.

The reason is that I have been busy with othe things. I promise that I will return to Coach Lee Brett's pool instructional video in the near future.

When I get to the point that I can no longer reap any benefit from the dvd, I may get weak and offer it free of charge to those who are too "frugal" to spend the money for one. However, I fear by then, the dvd will have worn itself out.

I've had the honor to spot a few diamonds in the process of being formed and in spite of opposition from a very loud but mistaken few, I've had the pleasure of seeing the process come to fruition.

Landon Shuffett is the next diamond being prepared for the world's stage as others have already noted. That's young man's foundation was developed by Stan Shuffett much like Tiger Woods was developed by his own dad. It will be a pleasure as Landon continues to become his own man and add to his already lethal arsenal of weapons.

It's been fun supporting those who have given so much value to our sport. Who knows, maybe one day, we will be watching the telly and cheering on, our own Michael Phelps.

Well, I'm sure Brett's a fine coach, and followthrough is important, but is it really an example of "incredible information that is seldom shared in a video format"?

Pretty "incredible" "seldom shared" info.

From "Willie Mosconi on Pocket Billiards" 1948.

So true, no moments are ordinary, Earl proved that pros have to approach the table like a pro ALL the time or they will look like an amaturer in a second.

I thought Lee's video was awesome and I've adopted his way of thinking to my game and it has helped out for sure. The concept of "out of the box" thinking and "in the box" execution has simplified the game for me and helped me do what I know how to do without letting other thoughts get in the way when it comes time to pocket balls.

Even seemingly simple aiming adjustments should not be done at the table for me; I now step back away from the table and approach it if I need to change my aim and the balls are going into the pockets more consistently.

Lee's video is money well spent.

Here's the problem: in theory the whole outside/inside the box sounds very pretty. But having played in pool halls all across the country I can tell you that very few of them are setup to allow any kind of "box." Most often, pool tables are set up pretty close together, room owners trying to squeeze in as many tables as possible. In most pool halls "the box" starts somewhere near the bathroom.

Let me give you two real life examples. A few years back I played downstair at a room in NYC. The tables were so close together your butt practically hung over the rail of the adjoining table when you shot. Not as extreme, but still problematic, is the main tournament room at the DCC, where the tables are set so close together that on every shot facing a side rail you have to turn around and make sure you're not going to bump a player on the next table.

The tables in U.S. poolrooms are not set up like The Crucible.

The only way to injure a CD/DVD is if gets scratched outside the player. Nothing is actually touching the data part of the disk while it spins outside of the laser so number of plays does not matter. Another great advantage over VHS tapes.

And even then, scratches -- on the laser-reading side -- can be completely polished-out. There are CD/DVD polishing machines out there, that can be had for a song, that do this nicely (I have one).

The only time damage to a CD/DVD is irreparable / unrecoverable, is if the *label side* of the CD/DVD is scratched *through* the reflective coating. (The reflective coating is on the back-side of the label.) Once that coating is scratched-through, the CD/DVD is toast -- there's no repairing that. But it takes an intentional (or very abusive) effort to do that!

Very true Lou, I guess it's a do the best you can to get back just a bit, 3' or so, make your mind up on the shot, stroke, speed, spin, etc. ....before getting down on the shot. No contemplating the options once down, just execute.

I have to know where my back foot is going to be placed before I shoot, not once I'm down.
 
OK now I will watch....

My buddy just sent me a copy of the Lee Brett dvd......since you recommend it so highly I will watch it from beginning to end.......
 
You will have to watch the DVD many times to grasp the whole content. Lee talks about and demonstrates some very suttle moves with the line of the shot, stance, grip and stroke. If your not paying reeeaaally close attention you will miss them.

I probably will not buy his next book, but I can guarantee you I'll be buying the movie when its released.

Having a table at home is a great time saver.

But of course, LO. That's perhaps the one thing I've really learned playing 1pocket so much -- you must have a clear picture in your head of exactly what you want to do and how exactly you're going to do it. You dan't really need 3' to do that. I guess that's thinking outside the box :-)

Colonel,

If you like we could meet this Sunday at the Cue to play some 14.1 or 1P if your in town.

Havent played a game with you in quite a while (over 10 years). It would be a lot of fun.

It is apparent, at least to most people that Coach Lee Brett has created an in-demand pool instructional video that has people playing better pool.

Sometimes I wonder what possesses some people in this forum to attempt to tear down the effort of others.

It's almost as if they are jealous of the effort of those who attempt to help people play better pool. :scratchhead:
 
@JoeyA
My friend we both *know these guys* you re talking about. But are they a single word worth? Sure not - so don t get upset about them :-)

About Lee s product. I received on of his first *books* (pre versions :p). And the DVD is a great overall-product. To produce a DVD is an expensive project-and he tried hard to make it great.

Lee tried to put really as much stuff as possible into the DVD. And my serious opinion is, that he produced one of the best overall-instruction-videos available. He teaches lot of stuff i also prefer to teach, and he really explained many things very very good.

Someone who would say, that he could not benefit from the knowledge which presented here- must be a fantastic player. Just by following rew things (perception, stepping into shot, striking-line, slower backswing, preparing for example) they would be much better players.

And if i want to find something negative, i ll find on almost any product!

I for myself contact the guy i received the dvd from to tell him personally what s not good in my opinion- maybe he can explain me better or also HE would try to do better next time.


Great Job Lee on your DVD- already told you that, also posted it. But worth to post it again :-)

theme failed!

You cannot judge someone for bad positioned pool tables around the world, can you? That must be a joke from your side.

The Inside the box /Outside the box is one of the most important and one of the best things he shown up.
It s definitley a small part of a PSR which is needful- i teach this right in the first lesson with every student without any exception. The complete poolgame is all about perceiption. A player like you should know this (from what i read).

with all respect,

Ingo

I hope I dont fall in that category.(Sometimes I wonder what possesses some people in this forum to attempt to tear down the effort of others. )

I have a rite to my opinion as we all should.Earl is a great shot maker he plays the way he plays and to say what he done was a mistake is just wrong.Yes he adjusted to the shot but he pulled the trigger when he thought the shot looked rite and thats what counts.The shot looks rite im shooting.He hit the ball slow he could of got a little skid on the ball.The ball missed to the rite of the pocket.
Would you be saying the same thing if he made it?No
Sorry Joey I just dont agree with this post.Not trying to start any agruments here but just dont see a mistake Earl did besides missing the ball.

Just my opinion dont bash me.:smile:
