To the few people posting negatively in this thread, how do you perceive your role here? Protecting the innocent AZ noobs from the big bad Geno? If so, that is laughable. Anyone perusing this site, is interested in billiards. They are capable of deciding for themselves, what has value, for them. Do you believe you are more knowledgeable then Gene, on the original topic? That is also laughable. As for the DVD, give it a rest. Has Gene even mentioned it in this thread, or offered it for sale? He's offering in person, and skyp lessons, not trying to sell DVD. Earlier in this thread, Gene stated that his knowledge on this topic, has evolved, and he's learned new ways to teach it. I traveled 2 and a half hours, to meet with Gene. Spent about 7 hours at the table. Some of what Gene was trying to teach me, was over my head, some I've forgotten. What I retained, was well worth the time, effort, and money. In the past several months, I have jumped levels, and consistently beat people that previously, I could occasionally snatch a rack from. I posted here, after that session. IIRC, I said anyone, no matter what level, could learn something about pool, from Gene. I can't understand why anyone would try and prevent someone from exploring this particular path, to improvement. Those that do, expose themselves as narrow minded, at best.
