5.0 out of 5 stars Great Video!, November 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Byrne's Standard Video of Pool & Billiards - Volume 1 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Byrne is a master at teaching the fundamentals for a great pool stroke. In the first video he goes through all of the basic fundamentals required to give the student a cleaner more consistant stroke. He also begins to teach some of the basics of cue ball control. I highly recommend this video for players of all levels. I also recommend that you find Volume 2 (advanced techniques) and volume 5 Power Pool Workout (by far the best pool workout video on the market! )

5.0 out of 5 stars AHEAD OF THE CROWD!!!!!, January 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Byrne's Standard Video of Pool & Billiards - Volume 1 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

There are an enormous amount of videos out there that attempt to teach the game of pool. This one is, by far, the best one out there. Most pool learning videos try to teach skills that are above the beginning player's head. The others teach you very little, then go into an hour of trick shots. Yes, they're cool, but they don't win games. Byrne's video teaches the beginning player the necessary fundamentals to play the game of pool. Together, his incredible ability to play the game, along with his effective way of conveying his message, makes Robert Byrne an extremely good instructor. I highly recommend this video for ALL pool players.

4.0 out of 5 stars 76 year old Grandma learns to shoot Pool, January 11, 2001

James Mauzy (Tempe, AZ USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Byrne's Standard Video of Pool & Billiards - Volume 1 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Yes Grandma can learn a new game, mine did with the help of Byrne's video tape. The video explains all the basics of shooting pool and gives a review of each segment so you can get the important points firmly in mine before the next topic. Once he gets past the bare basics the really good info is presented which is helpful to the beginner as well as the intermediate player.If you want to improve your game or just understand the dynamics of Billiards buy this tape.
