They only took me...what? 4 years to make.

1000s of hours of hard work (literally), and I've finally finished them.

If anyone sees anything wrong with the site, please PM me asap. Comments are also appreciated.

(ignore the screwed up top menu buttons...im fixing them as we speak)

Speaking of which, you guys are full of good ideas, so feel free to share any marketing suggestions as well. :)

Amazing work. The best production values I have ever seen in the pool world bar none.

So you are saying I have 3.5 years to play around with :D

I can see how it would take one person forever to put something like that together. There is a lot going on there. Camera work, editing, design, web site, e-store and about a million other little details.

If we had the money I would offer you a job but based on the looks of your work we couldn't afford you anyway. :D

You should be proud. I hope you do very well.

Afford me? lol

I don't even know what a paying job is as I've been living on my business loan for years now. Hell, I can't even afford a hotel when I visit Mika. I sleep on his couch. lol

Anyway, thanks again for the compliments. It makes it all worthwhile.
 
Top quality work

I watched all of the previews and I think this is something new, fresh, and innovative. This is what the pool world needs. A look into the future and a young, bright star to take responsibility in passing on valuable information to our next generation. There are countless sources of information just like this available, but I would say it is outdated. This is the future of pool.

Great job.
 
Is anyone familiar with the Paypal merchant system? I have a few questions for anyone who might be knowledgeable about this sort of thing.
 
I have to say by looking at the previews this is the best made instructional video to date,nothing cheap about it,very edgy and modern,good work! :thumbup:
 
got to agree with the rest . TOP notch work m8

Really really nice work, and its obvious that this must have taken LOADS of time.

ps, in what program was the table designed? 3ds, cad ?
In case the table isn't protected or so, and you don't mind, i'd love to get the .dwg for that ! its one of the better 3d tables ive seen. !

If the content is as good as the quality, i'll be buying one.
But content always goes first :D

I looked at some of the previews on the site and they were very good and clearly explained. :smile:

The table was designed in SoftImage XSI. It's the program that was used to make all the effects in the movie 300. Unfortunately I don't think it can be converted to a DWG, as the files are all animated.

As for the content, I've posted sample lessons on the site. Hopefully that helps to show that the quality is maintained through all aspects of the production.
 
Very nice looking videos.:thumbup:

I'll probably order the complete set.:D

You ought to post in the wanted for sale section, too.

Mika is a very good 14.1 player but it doesn't look like you have any 14.1 in these three videos. Maybe next time.
 
Wow, looks great!

Do the DVDs cover precisely how much english and how much draw and follow to use to control your shape off of rails?

Thanks,
Jen

The DVD's try to avoid being situation-dependent. Although they do teach specific key offensive and defensive shots, they were designed to focus on ideas (rather than situations). The viewer then takes the concepts learned and applies them to their game.

It's sort of like the old saying about how it's better to teach a man to fish, rather than giving him a single fish. Learning how to do one specific thing matters little if the viewer is unable to take that same concept and apply it to the countless variations he/she will encounter at the table. So instead, it's taught in a general context, making it clear how it can be used in a variety of ways.
