   The book is actually not that “big.” If you want “big,” check out my new 5-DVD VEPS set … 8 hours of fast-paced instruction … that’s “big.”

    All these vids r very informative. Helped me out. So many little things i didn’t know. It’s all the little things that take your game from good to excellent.

    Props man!

    … continued from previous post …

    - judging how much tip offset and speed is required to hit a stop shot with different speeds and distance

    - adjusting for table conditions (cloth speed and “stickiness,” cushion conditions, ball conditions)

    - etc!!!

    Successful pool playing is all about “feel.”

    “Feel” comes into the game a lot. Here are some examples:

    - “seeing the angle” and visualizing the lines of a shot.

    - compensating one’s aim for squirt, swerve, and throw based on shot distance and speed, amount and type of English, and cue elevation.

    - judging how much speed to use for a given shot, and being able to create that speed.

    … to be continued …

    So with all of that said … I have a weird question for you. Where does ‘feel’ come into the game? And is that even a relevant question? It basically does come down to hand to eye coordination doesn’t it? You can be a total ignorant yet still make every shot if you just have excellent perfect execution. Just playing devils advocate here but thought I’d throw that at you.

    Dave, you are the most sophisticated and logical teacher of the dark art of pool … this said from the perspective of a very casual once a month pool player at this stage of my life. Used to play the game more frequently years ago and did read the Byrne’s books then and mostly just became a ‘throw’ shot player in my cluelessness, cause lets face it, it’s fun to play that way but not incorporating all the subtleties of the game that you are reminding me of. Thank you for your videos!

    Hey Dr. Dave. you’re videos along with your explanations are done very well. I’ve been playing for many years and I never really thought about the 90 degree and the 30 degree rules.

    Read your book. I think it’s the best on the market for me. Precise explanations and diagrams with color. TKS.
