by "Little" Joe Villalpando
“Little” Joe Villalpando is well known as a player and as a premier instructor. On his first DVD, (40 minutes long) he reaches into his 50 years of pool playing experience and teaches Kick Shots. He uses an easy-to-follow clock system and some simple graphs to show you exactly how to determine where the cue ball is going on any kick shot. The second DVD (42 minutes long) is on Cue Ball Control. In this DVD he takes the clock system he introduced in his first DVD and combines it with a comprehensive overview of the variables affecting the tangent line of the cue ball. He makes it look easy and this instruction should help a lot of players who are weak in that area. This will help you execute those early game caroms on the nine-ball and bring up your position play in all games. $70 (IQ1-2)

Willie is well-known as a trick shot artist and writes a column for Billiards Digest, but he’s also a very experienced One Pocket player! He explains his credentials for making a DVD at the beginning of the first one: “I’ve been playing One Pocket for 60 years…I guess I’ve learned a shot or two.” $85 (WJ1-2)
