Jimmy Reid DVDs?

[PKM]

I couldn't find much discussion except an isolated comment or two, anyone familiar with his DVDs?

It doesn't look like the website has been updated in a while, it still has a Christmas special

What about his Diamond Club?

I like em !!

I have all of his dvds out I think .They are really good
wish I had more time to practice what he teaches
I am sure opinions may vary ....Kinda like some teahcers
and professors fit some students and some don't .To me
he makes things really plain .The one thing I wish he would
have done is break down the diamond system a bit
better before he jumped into explaining his shots .I finally got
where he was going but it took a minute

Let me preface what I am about to say with this:

I know Jimmy has had some health problems as of late, but my critique has nothing to do with Jimmy the man, it's just how I percieve his teaching.

He seemed really nervous in the videos, and that stunted his ability to pass along his knowledge to the viewer. Also, it didn't seem like he had a strict outline of material he was intending to teach. He seemed to meander a bit.

All in all, he had a lot of information to share, it's just that it did not flow smooth enough for me to gain much from it.

Again, from everything I've heard, he's a great person, but I just didn't like his teaching method very much. And yeha, he did dive right in to the diamond system without explaining much.

A lot of awkward pauses while he thought of how to frame his next statement. Was a bit disconcerting. It looked like he just wasn't at ease in front of a camera..

That's about what I would say. Good info - but he flows so poorly, you'll pull your hair out.
