Looking to buy a used set

The sad part is international shipping to Vietnam is not available.

Hello, As the title says, I am looking for a set of Joe Villalpando's 2 Pool I.Q. DVDs Vol. 1: Kick Shots Vol. 2: Cue Ball Control Thanks Nam

He is a hot-tempered person and I guess he might have thought no problem throwing the cue on the table. I think he knows now. Lesson learnt the hard way! :D Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A friend of mine has a Cognocenti cue that the pin was broken when he threw the cue on the table after missing a shot. What should we do to repair it? Do we have to send it to Joe Gold or any CM can do this kind of repair? I took pictures of the damaged cue but don't know how to insert it here...

Instructor FranCrimi, I can't imagine a crowding arm would affect my playability that much. By holding the cue a few inches back and straighten my arm, I feel more confident and, as a result, pocketing more balls with a looser grip and having better CB control. Thank you for pointing out my...

Thank you so much Mr. John. I am really improved following your advice. I heard the phrase "extension of your arm" so many time but I have so much clearer understanding with your explanation. Appreciate your insights. If you ever think of visiting Vietnam, pls do not hesitate to contact me. You...

Instructor Steve, Theoretically, I absolutely agree and understand that a relaxed grip would be the way to go (I actually read many threads in the "ask the instructors" section and the rationale behind a loose grip). However, personally, I have big issues with a loose grip as mentioned in...

"I noticed that you have a tendency to move your head on the contact stroke just before tip contact is made with the cue ball." <---- I will try to stay down and completely still. :thumbup: Thank you for your explanation about the stroke Nam

"Walk into the shot" <---- Thank you, I will do. "When using the bridge it should be placed at approximately a 45 deg angle like this ^" <---- This is a new knowledge. Appreciate it, Mr. John! "I was in Viet Nam during 1965, 66 and 67". This is something I admire about you. It's uncommon that a...

Oh, thank you. Your explanation is crystal clear. I get it now

I totally understand what you were saying. But I feel very "uncomfortable" when my gip hands hit my chest. As I said before, I don't know why but my performance was sharply reduced when I have that feeling because, mentally, I think the chest obstructs my cue to follow through and alters the...

Thank you Instructors I would like to thank all of you who gave me inputs on how to improve my fundamentals, especially Instructor Scott Lee and Instructor Fran Crimi. I really appreciate your instructions!!! AZ is a great place where I learn a lot of things over the last 2 years. I am very...

Totally agree :thumbup: Thank you

"Decline is part of the process of finding a better game." <---- I love what you said "Most of the time it is a difficult process with much personal pain and suffering." <---- the transition is very painful. There was a moment that I even want to give up and go back to my Predator and my same...

When I bend my back a little more and follow through longer, my back hand will hit my chest near the finish position and I, somehow, have a feeling that it change the stroke result whether it's true or not. So that's why my stroke is as current. How should I do?

thank you for your feedback

Fantastic review. Thank you sir! "Nam, I get the feeling that you are afraid when you are shooting" <---- Very true. As I said before, in order to bring my game to the next level, I tried everything. I don't know whether it is a cue switch (I play with a Predator cue for so long) or my...

Any other critique????? I am trying desperately to bring the game to the next level Thanks in advance for any input

Thank you for your opinions. :thumbup: "Unfortunately the latter is tough to implement in a way that feels natural without an instructor" <---- This is very true. I tried to practice it myself but not feel natural
