After reading WillieBetMore's post on Danny D's lessons i had a bit of an idea. Everone here is a witness that this is MY idea, incase someone tries to steal it.
What if somebody made a video series exactly like this? My name for the 9-ball series would be '10 racks with 'Insert Pro Name here.' Basicly they would just break the rack, and start running balls, except on every shot explain the What, Where, And why. Instead of just doing 10 racks though, maybe do 20 or 30, and select the best 10. The best 10 doesn't mean he broke and ran those racks, its the best 10 for instructional purposes. The ones with unique shots, or shots that you might not see all the reasons for playing. IE Shape, trouble balls, rolling into the line of the shot etc... You could do a straight pool series too. 150 balls with Grady Matthews. You could really get a better understanding of what is going through the pros heads. I know that i would buy '10 Racks with Efren Reyes', '10 Racks with Johnny Archer', and maybe splurge with '100 balls with Danny DeLiberto.' Anyone else wanna buy these Tapes/DVD's?
Williebetmore said:As we played about 10 or 12 hours of straight pool, he would continuously analyze every shot (his and mine), explaining the WHY of every shot. Why he selects it, why he hits it a certain speed, what position he hopes to obtain, what part of the pocket to aim at, what safety features can be built into any shot, where to find the hidden English in combo-caroms, how to minimize your risk with every pattern that you choose, how to find the hidden carom/billiard/combo's that most players don't see, how to find the relatively easy "split shots" and unusual billiards that most players don't know (but will often save your run), why to hit each break shot with its own proper speed, why it is important to play intentional scratches in certain situations (and know what EXACTLY you hope to accomplish with these intentional scratches).
