Video Encyclopedia of Pool Shots

Disc 1 of 5, by Dr. Dave Alciatore, PhD and Tom Ross

You can learn more about the principles of cue ball control from this DVD than from 10 years of playing experience. The title "video encyclopedia" might seem a little ambitious, but five minutes into the contents establish that this is a precise and exact mission statement.

This is not a "watch-once and put with the other DVDs" DVD. This material is so densely packed that you can only begin to understand the details after you have viewed every section at least ten times. Your remote's reverse and fast reverse buttons will get extensive use as you view and consider the consequences and benefits of every clip and frame.

The information presented is direct and easy to understand. Make sure that you stop the DVD for a moment after each segment and consider how you could have used it in any previous game or match - and will use it the next time you are at the table.
