If you had ~$60 for one ‘beginner’ DVD...

That’s on my radar for sure! I’m wondering if Tor’s material is too advanced for a newbie? I’m talking like building my game from the ground up as if I’d never held a cue. Not looking to go pro but I adore the game and want to be decent at it

you should be good with his material. He builds his entire skill set off of stressing fundamentals and getting the correct stroke.

I would also check out some of Joe Tuckers material as well.

Hello allhttps://www.bebobpublishing.com/product-p/pat1d.htm,

Like the title says: I’ve got right at $60, and am looking for one good instructional video (DVD) for a beginner. I’ll eventually build a library but right now I’m looking for a single source to get started. I prefer a video because I want to see what’s going on rather than read :smile:

So, if you had $60, what vid would you get for yourself if you were pretty much a beginner?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Check out Mark Otto's stuff, like great, and flies under radar. Me personally love his works.

Mike Sigel's PErfect Pool DVD 1 is free on YouTube ---> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mrcyT0d4RA

great for complete beginners. teaches everything from stance, bridges and drills to get your fundamentals straight.

then go and use the $60 for a few lessons.

I’m surprised no one mentioned Bob Byrne’s Standard Videos of Pool and Billiards yet. It’s a 6-volume set (two of the six volumes are trick shot videos, though) and complements Jerry’s instructional material very well. It’s kind of hard to come by these days but it’s essential for every aspiring pool player.

I know you said you preferred videos but I would also highly recommend a book by Mark Wilson “Play Great Pool”. It’s a truly great book that will help you get the fundamentals right.
