Instructional Videos

[Pollux]

I just thought looking at some instructional videos to optimize some basic moves, maybe in slow motion, won't hurt. I found the following two, can anyone recommend one of the two or are there better alternatives :

Wait for Keek's DVD!!!

I have seen the Jim Park videos and found them helpful. The first one was made about ten years before the second and did not cover butterfly. The videos do a reasonable job of covering the basics and will probably be more helpful to someone who is just starting out. The instructional videos that are available are not cheap. After looking through Keek's CDR and reading about the DVD package I think that Bedris may be right in recommending that you wait for the DVD release.

I found the second Jim Park video helpful, but it is pricey. I'd put my money on Keeks' DVD, the info will be up to date and well worth every penny.

Ok, thanks for the advice. I just read the detailed DVD description, sounds great ! I'll go for it.

I collect just about anything and everything having to do with instruction. I have the Park videos and think they are quite good. Certainly the best on the market Pre-Keeks.

Yes, they are a little pricey, but don't forget they are not a one watch wonder.

I've used them so much over the last 4 (?) years the cost per viewing is about 50 cents. Which isn't bad.

By the way, just was given a copy of "The King of Hockey." A 1930s hockey movie starring Dick Purcell (which means zip unless you are an old "B" movie and serial junkie). It concerns the exploits of Gabby Dugan of the New York Violets. It was made as a second feature and the plot, such that it is, has Gabby romancing a society "dame" and fighting off mobsters trying to "fix" the game. As a curio piece it isn't that bad. The action sequences considering state of the art and state of the game are a lot better than Mystery, Alaska.
