Overall Rating for Joe Tucker Racking Secrets DVD Set

Great investment
By Jason from , on November 21, 2011
This video is very informative and the way Joe Tucker shares the information in detail makes it pretty easy to follow and take with you to the tables. I just got the DVD's 4 days ago. I watched the 9ball format about 5 times before going to the tables to work on my break. In practice the first night studying the racks I broke I was about 55% accurate in predicting my break. I shot my first match last night in league using the info from JT and I was able to drop at least 1 ball on 4 of my 6 breaks and on one of them I was able to predict a 9 on the break. That felt awesome. Thank you Ozone and a special thanks to Joe Tucker. Only suggestion I'd make for the video to be better is a top view (overhead) of the balls when Joe is talking about small and big spaces within the rack which help determine where to break from. Thanks to Ozone and JT.

How to read the rack
By Steve Scheff from Lexington, KY on October 21, 2011
This is definitely a tough concept to put into practice. The information is certainly great but it really takes a keen eye to see what Joe sees. This is really for the serious player and not for a casual participant. I'm not exactly sure how many hours it takes to get some of this down but working on it. If you're a 9-ball player then it's something to take a look at. I'm not so sure how much a straight pool player will get out of it.
Great info- Unbelieveably bad audio
By John Trelease from Tampa on September 30, 2011
Good information. Been playing over 40 years and never knew this! Unfortunately, the audio was SO BAD I had to keep replaying the DVD to understand Joe's verbal instruction. I recommend Joe's insert in Charley Bond's book "The Great Break Shot".
Loved the video and information - hated the damaged areas on disc - twice!
By Dave from Seattle on August 17, 2011
I loved the information that Joe presented on the video -- at least the parts that I could view. I called about a bad disc the first time and was promptly sent out another dvd set... the problem is - that one was also damaged. I did not call again. The company was very good about fixing it the first time, but I got tired of tracking this.

Poor Quality Video
By Dave from Brentwood TN on June 28, 2011
The video is done in poor quality with a lot of sound echo because of the room he is shooting in. It is hard to hear what he is saying a lot of the time and it looks like it was done on a home video camera. I'm sure the tricks probably work but I would suggest getting the book instead so that you have the information readily available for reference. I was also looking for something that would help me with the basics of my break stroke but he doesn’t spend any time on that just how to read the rack.

Awesome DVD
By leland from chico, ca on April 8, 2011
Wow. Just wow. I'll never look at a rack the same way again. I watched the 9-ball section with amazement, then went and practiced what I learned. I made a ball on the break over 80% of the time. Sheer brilliance. Since I learned what this DVD has taught me, I haven't asked for a single re-rack. I take my time reading the rack, and my opponent always asks if it's good. I just tell them I'm looking for something to exploit, then watch them really take their time racking the next game (because I just made 2 off the break and ran out). I highly recommend this DVD, it's almost like cheating.

pretty good dvd
By zip gatton from cleburne, texas on November 24, 2010
this guy knows his stuff. the thing i would have liked to see is a camera shot straight above the rack and close up to help me visualize the spaces.
I would recommend this item to a friend.
Great understanding
By Doc from Aberdeen, WA on November 11, 2010
I have been through the DVD once, so far and will go through again. Every chance that can be learned to help improve my winning percentage is greatly helpful. I had wondered just what others were looking for in a rack to determine where what side to break from and how to adjust to improve my chances.
I would recommend this to everyone.

useful
By Tim on October 29, 2009
You can't get more detailed than this. It would be nice if the original book was included, perhaps a pdf or something.
Pros:
Clearly explained and demonstrated. Cons:
The sound echoes a lot, but it's no big problem.Joe Tucker Racking Secrets DVD Set
