OK tuff guy. It's smart guys like you who make up the bulk of people in jail and prison
Any videos of Dr Dave in an actual match?

…and the slammer and the hoosegow
Im re-stating the obvious for those who can’t read between the lines.
Because people either want to see you back up what you teach or fail at it miserably. Either way it’s entertainment. Unfortunately too often it’s based in low personal self esteem or denial and is more of an attack.
For those of us who understand that it’s an entirely different skill set to teach and communicate fundamental ideas, it’s still the same lol, ( good entertainment ). Albeit all that with less malice behind it than most hecklers I’d bet.
Also there's just that small thing of creating QUALITY video and written content. Not to mention all the hours editing that goes with it.
Some folks just like to see the world burn for the sake of a good bonfire.
I think I’m in the majority when I say thanks so much for making easy to watch and thorough instruction videos that obviously require a ton of experience and testing. I hope you’re getting properly compensated for your time and effort.
Not kissing ass here and I get most of this has been said already. I just think it’s important to show appreciation of effort

What an insightful comment. No mention of a voyeur videotaping people behind their back sans consent, no. It's the people that would take issue that have the problem.
Thank you for your insightful, thoughtful, and well-stated comments. I appreciate it and I agree with your assessment.
OK parking lot man. If you can't understand in this scenario they know eachother, I don't know what to tell you.
No matter what, Im not going to jail or prison because somebody videotaped me
How hard do you think he can break?
His 10 ball break is comfortably right around 23mph. You can tell he's not even close to his maximum capability, so I wouldn't bet against him being able to hit 30.

"knowing", "acquainted", and "friendly" are fairly separate interpersonal dynamics. Incessantly pestering a middling player with unwarranted advice, even going so far as to secretly videotape them seems like a pretty clear boundary issue for the latter two, and a flagrant violation for the former. Nevertheless, I'm really not interested in furthering a conversation with those so socially maladjusted that they just can't fathom why a guy at a pool hall would have a problem with that.

Thank god
Bless you.
BTW, you cannot walk or drive in any major city, nor walk into any building nowadays, (or attend a Coldplay concert), without being on camera and videotaped. Obviously, you live under a rock. In addition, the advice I gave him was warranted, asked for, and appreciated, dufus. Lastly, saying any of it would warrant a visit to the parking lot, as you suggested, is the very definition of being "maladjusted."

Seconded. GoPros are your friend. We used them extensively with my college bowling team, and i've used them for most of my other sports as well.
What it *feels* like you're doing and what you're *actually* doing can be VERY different.

What an excellent point, Lou. Because the concept of security cameras exist, obviously I must accept being privately recorded in secret while practicing at a pool hall.
you’re entitled to your opinion, and I’m entitled to think it’s creepy.
Dude, I know the guy -- I see him all the time, he brings me bags of fresh shrimp after visiting his brother in the Gulf who owns a shrimp boat, I let him into the PR early so he can practice before going to work, and he knows I'm trying to help him.
He just can't incorporate what I've showed him. The only thing "creepy" in this exchange is you saying this is worth a trip to the parking lot. That's messed up.

Fair enough. While I’d think I’d still have some questions for a good buddy videotaping me sans my knowledge or consent, I probably wouldn’t escalate it nearly to the same degree as I would if it were someone I was less familiar with. I don’t know you from Adam, and the only context I have is what you provide. I feel like I’ve shared more than enough regarding my opinion on the matter.
In the future that would be a good place for you to start rather than assuming I've videoing strangers.

I don't hold it against instructors, when they are just instructors. But you would think with all their instructional videos that they'd be great players but it doesn't always come out that way. Personally I think I'd be better instructor than player. I think some are good at both and others are just good at it being instructors. In other sports there's some great instructors who don't even play in the sport but they have a abilty to help the skilled player play better.
