1.0 out of 5 stars Too basic, October 31, 2007

This review is from: The Basics of Billiards (DVD)

This DVD talks about the names of the pool table and rules for 8-ball and 9-ball. Its is very basic, with nothing about how to make a hand grip, stroke, english, bank shoots, and not even some pointers on aiming. Seems like this could be presented in 15 min followed by 45 min of SOMETHING, but there is no meat in there.

1.0 out of 5 stars Hyper, shallow, short, January 15, 2008

One reader (Naperville, IL United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Basics of Billiards (DVD)

Well produced. Well shot. Well "acted". Very scant on teaching. I had to rewind to make sure I did not somewhat skip the explanation on how or where to aim. No more than 1 sentence is given to the subject. Only useful if you want to learn -in a hurried manner- the name of the elements, and (some of) the rules of 8 and 9 ball. A good DVD pool primer is still missing.

1.0 out of 5 stars "Too Basic" is "Too Kind" to this DVD, January 9, 2008

I agree with everything in the "Too Kind" review. The contents of this DVD could easily fit into a couple of chapters of a basic billiards book. If you are just starting out, and I mean JUST starting out, this DVD has about $5 worth of good information.
