THE 3RD EYE STROKE TRAINER
ORDER NOW! ONLY ONE LEFT! This stroke trainer comes with an instructional DVD, slides over the tip of your cue and immediately begins to correct the two most common stroke flaws. First, most players unknowingly approach the cue ball slightly off center. They think they're in the center, but they're off to one side or the other. Secondly, final corrections are often diagnosed as pure stroke flaws, but are usually caused by that initial alignment flaw. Line up straight and true and your stroke is more likely to stay straight and true! ORDER NOW! ONLY ONE LEFT!
ADVANCED FUNDAMENTALS
ORDER NOW! ONLY ONE LEFT! This is the first of two videos that Bert Kinister dedicated to technique.

Do the work and you will get more consistency into your game. $29.95 ORDER NOW! ONLY ONE LEFT!
