Ron Vitello has convinced a skeptic

[JoeyA]

Finally, a statement we all concur with.

Dammit Dick,
What are you doing reading these aiming threads? I thought you were a Yukon Jack kind of guy and I know you guys do it all by taste.

Today I got my first ever pool lesson, and it was with Ron Vitello. Like many people on this forum I was skeptical about aiming systems but not ignorant. I don't post things claiming it doesn't work if I've never been instructed on them, but for the longest time I just couldn't believe it could work. I'm not gonna go into a lot of detail about the sytem. The only thing I'm going to say about is that you pivot with your hip while at the same time keeping your alignement like Dave (SpyderWebbCom) has stated in his video. You don't move your backhand for the pivot. If Patrick Johnson bets against RonV I got $1000 on Ron.

Ron had me making extreme cuts that I would normally play safe or bank. I wasn't even looking at the pocket at all!!! I know with just a little bit of practice I am going to become a great shotmaker. Ron also has the BEST WAY to shot with inside english. That information right there was worth the money I paid Ron today. Ron has the best banking and kicking systems that I've seen. I hit every 2 and 3 rail kicks that he set up for me. The only problem kick I had was the 1 rail kick believe it or not. But RonV noticed that I always lined up left of center. I never knew that I did that, (so thats where the unintentional spin I get comes from). Overall I feel I improved already. Ron makes the game so much easier. I am definately going back to see him. If your skeptical like I was give Ron a call you won't be sorry. Get a lesson in person if you can. I guarentee at the end of your lesson you'll be walking out of the pool hall with a big grin on your face. Thanks Ron, I'll see you soon.

THE ONLY REGRET I HAVE IS THAT I WAITED 3 YRS TO GET A LESSON FROM RON. JUST THINKING ABOUT THAT MAKES ME GET MAD AT MYSELF, WHO KNOWS WHAT LEVEL I WOULD BE AT RIGHT NOW!

wow, thats awesome. my interest is def peaked!

It seems like all of the "Gurus" are in the East. It is a shame that these systems have not traveled West. I have Stan's DVD and have to admit that I didn't quite get it. My bad I guess as many seem to understand it right away. I think that Ron's would be best for me as I already use a hip movement when using English. Hopefully his system will move West over time.

Ron Vitello's 90/90 Pivot system is IMO the best aiming system out there..CTE, ETE an Pro One all have too many adjustments for different shots. I have seen everything out there for CTE, ETE and Pro One and they are all lacking something or too many reference points that 90/90 has built in. When 90/90 is put on DVD, that will be the advanced system serious players will go to. And Ron V's Diamond system and banking and kicking systems are legendary and used by MANY pro's..far too many to list. People travel from all over the world to come to NYC and get "coached" by Ron. He is the Hank Haney and Butch Harmon of Billiard Instructors.

I hope his info does make it to DVD, especially the banking and kicking bit. Do you have any word wether or not the DVDs are being released? I've heard about a release but it's been sometime now.

Anyone know if Ron has the filming sorted for his DVD(s)? We need this info to be released.

I spoke with him in a pm a couple of months ago and he said at that time he wasn't doing anything yet. I would like to see him release a dvd, also.

Best,
Mike
