I will take one.

Are you still in SoCal? If so maybe I can just see you somewhere out here.
If not I will send a money order.

I will send a PM to you as well

Hi John,

I literally just started playing straight pool (only had 3 practice sessions). I'd love to see this DVD, however, I just saw this thread (and the review from Shane). Do you have some copies left so I can order one?

Thanks,
Melinda
 
question and a bump

Mr. 400.... I was going to order one of these online, but then I thought maybe you make more off it when we order straight from you. If so, is the info below still current?

You will need to purchase an international money order at your post office.

I bought my dvd from a fellow Az'er. I haven't watched it yet but plan to soon.

I HAVE PURCHASED 2 COPIES OF THE DVD AS WELL AS MR. SCHMIDT RUNNING 100+ AT THE DERBY CITY CLASSIC THIS YEAR. BOTH OF THEM ARE WELL WORTH THE MONEY AS UNLESS YOUR NAME IS WILLIE, YOU WILL LEARN SOMETHING.

I AM LEAD TO BELIEVE THAT MUCH OF JOHN'S TALENT CAME FROM THE STRICT WORM DIET DANNY D. PUT HIM ON TO IMPROVE HIS EYESIGHT.
 
John's Run of 245

All;
If you haven't purchased this DVD do so. I purchased mine shortly after last year's Straight Pool Tournament in New Jersey, and I found it extremely interesting and learned a lot about "strategy" and shot selection from it.

The DVD is well worth the price and I would highly recommend this for players at all skill levels.

If you are more interested in learning about straight pool than in a professionally filmed video...this is the DVD for you. This was filmed by John using a video camera set from a some-what overhead field of vision. There is only one little bad spot in the DVD where there must have been a little electrical interference. This in no way detracts from the content or enjoyment of this DVD.

Great Job John, and what a spectacular run!

dvd quality for 245 run

While you don't know me, i am a guru. (self proclaimed) I bought 2 copies of the tape and the quality is quite good; 1 or 2 blips but if you want to see movie quality, go see Color of Money. If you want to watch straight pool and learn, buy the dvd.
 
Got my copy of this dvd today and had time to watch only bits & pcs but it looks to be very good. I'm sure I'll get many hours of good study from watching John.

Somebody help him get set up with a paypal account.

Do you people read these things? John, can you elaborate on the worm diet that Efron uses taught by Danny? Does it help both eyes or just the dominant eye? Do you put anything on them like mustard, hot sauce, ketchup, etc.?

How much did you improve after beginning this program?
 
I just got my DVD yesterday and watched it as soon as I got home. Like everybody else on the board has said, if you don't have this DVD, you need to order it. John gives great commentary and has some interesting insights (i.e. like that straight pool can put the pressure on, even when you are playing by yourself.)

I think it's one of those things that straight pool beginners like me need to watch 20 times just to learn half the things that can be learned from this video. (And, unlike Pool Hall Junkies, I can probably watch 20 times, no problem.)
 
I bought it months ago. Have watched and learned alot from it. Everyone who enjoys straight pool needs to "BUY" the dvd not copy it. If john makes some money maybe he would have an incentive to make more videos. If I see it on youtube I will do what I can to have it pulled.

To john thanks for the dvd.

Regards,
Marcus Norwood
 
Sigel class less

Andrew Manning said:
For that matter you should send one to Billy Incardona. I recently borrowed from a friend accu-stats' video of a Sigel-Varner match from the 2000 US Open 14.1. I guess Sigel had taken some time off the game at that point, and had played you in his first match of the tournament, and the match I was watching was his second.

Anyway, Incardona kept talking about how the Varner match was his first real test in a long time, pointing out that although he had played a match before it, "John Schmidt is not exactly a household name", and "playing a Nick Varner is a much better test of his best 14.1 game than playing against a John Schmidt".

Now I was watching this in 2006, knowing that you've run over 400 balls, and that nobody is the favorite against you when you're playing your best straight pool, and wondering whether Billy remembers saying that. I think it would be funny if you sent him a 245-ball run on tough equipment from "some unknown kid named John Schmidt".

Andrew:

Spot on: It was the following match when i heard Sigel bad mouth John that prompted me to buy the Sigel/Schmidt tape. While both players played poorly for them, the slimy way Sigel badgered "Mr. 30 at the time" demonstrated why Sigel became a buddy with Trudeau. From that point on, I followed Mr.400's career and enjoy his talent and class. Look forward to meeting him at the BCA Vegas tourny.

botched this up
 
Bought the DVD direct for John. Could have got it cheaper??? Just wanted John to get all the money. Sent him a check. Few days later I got it. Finally played it after having a few weeks. Took it to a friends house to watch since he was laid up from a operation. Got to the 6th rack and it froze. My friend tried to get it playing but it wouldn't register. Got home and it seemed to play ok. He must have a cheap DVD player.

My only complaint is there is no index or menu. You have to FF to get to the place you want.

From what I have seen of it there are some good tips and advice. Some things that look like luck are very well planned out. Will also help in a close 8 ball rack.

Totally unrelated but was watching John in the Texas Hold Em Pool and couldn't believe that he missed that 9 to win it all.
