**ONLY KICKS DVD
This DVD is the final evolution of Grady's famous kicking systems, which
do not require doing mathematical calculations in your head when you should be
focused on the table. He demonstrates 77 kick shots you can master with by
remembering simple relationships between diamonds and adjusting with a
"parallel line" or by "halving the distance." All are easy
to understand, easy to learn, and easy to use in competitive situations. He
shows you how to use english and speed to adapt each kick when necessary. Two rail
kicks are a breeze once you know the starting point and how to adjust. You will
also learn the "draw to curve" kick, the "rail first masse' kick
and "spot on the wall theory," one of pool's most closely guarded
secrets. As Grady says, "To become a master kicker, you need to know how
to kick, which kick to take, and what speed to shoot." RETAIL $29.95 - BEBOB SPECIAL - $24.95
