So I disappear from pool from 1994 til 6 months ago, I find this website and there is Joes name in lights, I remembered him very well, I met him in Hardtimes LA in 88 I hada months of college left in Sacramento-they threw me out for bad grades and sleeping in class-what else would you expect a pool player to do read a book?
Joe calls me a week later at home one night-before cel phones and said he was in town and asked me to steer him around, i said I was happy to, I was flat, I told him I couldnt stake him until we made some $$ then I could, he said cool, First stop the guy could play and joe was cold, were on my case $$$, I felt terrible, I needed the $$ and went to the sofest spot I knew of. Joe said go take a walk, Ok he's the player, It felt like 20 years in the joint waiting outside, Here I am only taking half the action-I didnt double steer him and were in a tight spot, I felt horrible, Joe comes with something and were whole. So we carried on the rest of the week, I put up the $$$ asI promised I would and appologised 250 times for the tight spot we started with, Joe was cool with that-he believed me that I wasnt trapping him and a friend ship was born, we had a good week, he asked me to carry on with him, Never before did a player like joe ask me to go on the road-I said"I dont play strong enough" he said something like "we'll make it work" we looked really different, hhe knew all the moves, my stupid a$$ was in denial about school-2 weeks later they were done with me, I had no way to find Joe. My shot at the road was gone.
Years later 1991 In Vegas I met a mutial friend, a great pool hustler, he looked like a college professor or something anything but a pool player, that was his angle.
so moving foward to now, I see the ads that Joe has on AZ, I felt like I was at a reunion, it was great, so I ordered one of his video's, why I didnt grab both was dumb, the second one is on the way,
I watched the first one many times and its great, 3,2,1 rail kicks broken down into easy makeable shots, I cant read a book on banks, its like reading a math book, i have awalys kicked by feel and thats not good enough. Joe did it right instead of explaining all the hows and whys a bank will work, he just points out the spot on the CB to hit and very simple diamond adjustments based on where the OB is at to make the hit. Sure there are unanswered questions but do you want to get the job done or get lost in details?, I really dont care whats in my Cheero's for breakfast-just give me the food.
I was playing the worlds worst player last night-a friend I didnt know it was possible to play this bad, he is 61, you would think that by accident at 61 years old he could make a ball in one of 8 shots. anyways I got funny on the 8 I was locked up bad, I remembered the video because its simple to remember and shot at the 8, I made the hit-should have made the shot it was close, I'm playing like a VERY strong B player now and was a A- player years ago and would have I made that hit before-maybe, after the video i'll never miss that 2 rail kick, i dont need all the details yet, sure to be a champion or a A+ player this video would be a bit too simple but for anyone who cant run a 5 pack this video will help you with 2 maybe 5 shots, or more with out reading a complicated book that you'llhave a hard time emembering, i'm not knocking the books, they are good too but Joe's videos are a better starting place, then the books later will be easier.
What Joe did was make a video that is useable not complicated, i hope he makes more, I'm getting everything from him moving foward, sure he is my friend, and was the only road player that believed in me, but I'm a stand-up guy and wouldnt make a long post being a schill if his videos wernt good, but I have a good friend who is making great videos, they in my opinion are for C- to A- players, the stronger you play the less you get but one shot is worth the price, I have blown alot of $$$ in a game because I didnt know the shot. anyone in that speed range will learn something I promis that, and No this wasnt a paid endorsment-its my friends business and I want him to sell alot of vid's but I wouldnt put my word on it if it wasnt good value.
