Yep they are indeed amazing. When someone explains WHY to me, as opposed to just saying "do this", it makes a huge difference in my ability to learn from them. Example is Jerry's brief introduction to spin and WHY the ball will spin taking into account travelling distance over the cloth. I...

Watched the first hour of disc 1. First thoughts are: it is fantastic. Jerry explains everything in so much detail and then goes into some of the reasons why stuff is happening that it really hammers home the concepts Hoping the remaining 3+ hours are as good. This is looking like $70 well...

Its helps a lot, it explains it perfectly. Thanks mate.

I am new to 9 ball, what do you guys mean by "give me the 7" etc when you are talking in terms of handicapping. How does it work?

my new "A Pool Lesson with Jerry Briesath" DVDs showed up today! Sorry that is all. I just had to share my excitement as my wife doesn't seem to appreciate just how amazing this is :eek:

I really thought someone would have given them to me by now.... slack!

Great thread and great read. My two favourite things, pool and poker. Sounds like the dream vacation.

*gets popcorn and waits for the magic formula so I can make the jump from cr*p to awesome :smile: I just want my DVDs and books to arrive already!!!!

Thank you, finally someone sees sense!

We bought our most recent property with the criteria that I had to have space for a man cave. I have always wanted a table at home and have never been able to buy a place that would allow it. Now that I have one I can tell you I love it. My table is in the garage, not the house, so no noise...

Haha true that. I made a post, found the answer myself and couldn't delete the thread.

Impressive

Assume it is a 7 foot table

Was just scouring youtube and came across this vid of Mick Hill playing in Aussie. Has such good cue ball control, was awesome to watch. The coverage wasn't flash but his 8 ball was great. EDIT: better add the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1l1EfQyV-LM

Aye I went in and had a chat with the guys at the local pool shop (they manufacture the tables for NZ 8 ball champs). The table I have is indeed a pool table but with snooker style pockets, which it seems is pretty standard here. This is also pretty standard in the UK, Aussie etc (most of...

Wow that is slick mate. Can't wait until we build, the design of my pool room is going to be my favourite bit

There we go then but looking into it that is a "pool" table in NZ. I think our 8 ball champs are played on 7 foot tables with similar pockets

Yeah looking at some of the tables in this thread makes me think my pockets are a bit tight
