Why would you think there needs to be a breakdown of a hip pivot in the video? The cue alignments are straight forward: chocolate, vanilla or strawberry for the most part. Where to put your feet? Obviously where they should be at your final post pivot position.
If you literally invested 15 minutes at a table to dig into what Ron was saying, if you're as smart as you say... you'd pick it up instantly. If you can't, maybe you just stroke crooked?
Sorry, but I'm not insulting you... I'm calling a spade a spade. When Ron showed me a copy of his first video attempt, I told him that I didn't like it at all.... so I'm not a yes-man. When he redid his video and showed me his current video, everything one would ever need to learn this is on the DVD set if you pair it with a hair of effort.
When you say "there's zero instruction," that's so over the top one can't be that dense unless there's a vendetta of some kind. Allen Hopkins watched the set and he was enamored with it and told Ron to use his name for FREE because he liked it so much, saying how he talked about things that most instructors don't know or don't discuss.
If the DVD wasn't for you...fine. I helped him in his booth at the expo the entire time because his health is failing. I know for a fact that he handed out his card with his cell# to every single customer of his and told them to call any time with questions. I'm willing to bet you never called and I'm willing to bet you have a miniscule amount of time of the table working with the system.
Reminds me of when Lou Figueroa bought Stan's video and wrote a similar review after owning the DVD for about a day or two....clearly zero effort.
Anyways, I'm glad your day job is something that justifies that you're a smart cookie... so thanks for pointing that out. Even if you disregard the entire first DVD, to say you got nothing out of DVD2 is simply hard to imagine unless you bank and kick like God, which you might. Even so, that means you're God, not that the DVD is bad.

Dave, you are totally missing the point. I understand that, being as close to it as you are. I bought the DVD. Despite knowing it very well. Well enough to make improvements on it that I haven't shared. Despite having reviewed the first DVD. I felt I owed that to Ron, so I paid for one.
To say I was disappointed, would be an understatement. Nob is not the only one with questions about it. You are right, the system is very easy to use. Easy enough, that after viewing a DVD on it, there should be NO questions about it. Yet, there are many. What does that tell you? After buying the DVD, no one should be having to call Ron for an explanation of it, not being a simple system that it is.
It's a great system, huge congrats to Ron on coming up with it. But he definitely should have spent more time showing exactly how to use it, less time showing just using it.
Once one knows the system, and can use it, it is a very easy system with very few steps to it. However, there are a number of things that can very easily be done wrong, giving bad results. None of those things were addressed, and should have been. I feel there should have been more time spent on showing exactly what to do and why, and what pitfalls to watch out for.
Sure, it's easy to say "just call Ron". Yes, he is more than willing to help anyone. Praise to him for that! But, after buying the DVD, one shouldn't HAVE to call him. CTE is a different matter, that can be complicated to actually learn, easy to use once learned.
When you say you learned it in 5 minutes in a phone call, and then tell others that bought the DVD to call him, how do you think the person feels that just paid $70 for a DVD that he didn't need to buy? Think they might feel a little ripped off by that?
That said, I'm very glad Ron did come out with another DVD, so that the public can be exposed to this great system. And so Ron can recoup some of the $$ that he has spent on it to bring it to us. Again, with this system, the DVD should be able to stand on it's own and leave no questions for the viewer. It doesn't do that.
