Fundamentals:

The Grip In the address position, you must, while visualising the shot, stroke the cue in the air to get a positive feel in your grip for the shot required.You should reach all backstroke grip positions twice, during backstroke and again during follow through…Grip is beginning to open…

The Bridge The open hand bridge. Lay your hand flat on the table with fingers together. Note the middle finger is pointing at 12 o’clock…

The Stance Stances will vary from shot to shot, my normal rule of thumb is… The distance separating the cueball from an objectball, dictates the width of stance. The closer the cueball and objectball are to oneanother, the narrower the stance. Why are my feet close together here?

Stroke / Aiming Your stroke should be smooth enough to allow you to close your eyes before the last stroke…

Addressing the Ball Addressing the ball, the most important step toward improvement in shotmaking…

Advanced:

English The reason amateurs and pros alike find it hard to aim, and therefore pocket balls while aiming with ENGLISH is twofold…

Banking / Kicking BANKING MEASUREMENTS ARE TAKEN AT OR BETWEEN DIAMONDS, NOT BESIDE THE CUSHION IN FRONT OF THE DIAMONDS, ALL MY NUMBERS ARE BETWEEN THE DIAMONDS ON ALL RAILS…

Combinations / Throw Shooting combos when the object balls are more than 1/64th of an inch apart requires the player to cut the 1st. ob just as if they were 2 feet apart. Shooting combos when the obs are frozen, or almost frozen to each other ( less than 1/64th” ) apart is an altogether different proposition, and just the opposite of what you might normally think. Here are just a few examples…

Masse / Kiss Your stroke should be smooth enough to allow you to close your eyes before the last stroke…

The Jump Shot Jump shots are made by hitting down sharply with a firm jab stroke. Aim the cb at center like a normal stop shot, then elevate the cue as much as you think is necessary to execute the jump successfully…

In 1994 at the men’s pro billiards tour, ‘Lexington All Star 9 Ball Championship’ on the last night before the finals, unbeknownst to Jimmy Reid, at the urging of the audience a large group of top players had gotten together to vote on who they thought was the best money player. Almost all of the top ranked pool players over the previous 5 to 25 years were there, Johnny Archer, Francesco Bustamante, Wade Crane, Kim Davenport, Roger Griffis, Buddy Hall, Allen Hopkins, Bob Ogburn, Efren Reyes, Mike Sigel, Earl Strickland, Nick Varner, and C. J. Wiley, just to name a few. Without a doubt they were a group of the best and most respected pocket billiard players in the world. They voted for Jimmy Reid, “The Best Money Player In The World” For The Previous 25 Years, From 1969 – 1994.

“IN 2008 JIMMY REID WAS ONLY 1 OF 4 PLAYERS EVER INDUCTED INTO
‘A LIFETIME OF POOL IN ACTION‘ HALL OF FAME

AT THE SAME TIME AND CEREMONIES JIMMY REID WAS INDUCTED INTO THE 2008 ‘ONE POCKET HALL OF FAME‘.”

“Before the days of computers, websites, and instructional videos, Jimmy Reid was one of the few top players who took me under his wing, always giving me good advice. At the 2003 U.S. Open, I was experiencing a little inconsistency in executing a few of my standard shots while practicing. Jimmy noticed my dilemma and spent a few minutes with me and had me addressing the ball better and then Jimmy just talked to me for a few more minutes and the next thing I knew my confidence level zoomed up and all the balls started going in. All of this naturally served to take the pressure off and improve my comfort level, I finished 3rd.. He is one of the true legends out there that I respect as a friend and mentor, and I think his instructionals are a must-have, you’ll learn everything, FROM THE BASICS TO ADVANCED PLAY FOR PROS. ”
Keith “Earthquake” McCready – Professional Pool Player

Jim, I have to tell you, since ordering your new dvds (I’m working on 3, 4, 5, rail kicks for awhile now) my game has jumped up tremendously. People will stop and watch when they notice I’m doing a mutiple rail kick and I rarely miss. Unbelievable! Thanks!
Dave aka Poolhall Junkie

Jimmy, I’m blown away! In the week I’ve had your DVD’s I’ve gone from being hustled to doing the hustling. My friends don’t want to play with me anymore! HA HA suckers!
Eloy Retana

Jimmy, Just wanted to say thanks for once again taking my game to a higher level. The way you’ve presented the Diamond Systems in your new dvd series has turned on many a light bulb for me, finally I’m banking & kicking with real consistency! Thanks again!
John Tobias

Jimmy Reid, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. These are absolutely the best instructions available by video or DVD and I bought them all. Finally, I found someone who really can teach, already my game has jumped beyond belief. I was a 5 for the last 2 years in the APA and searching for a good teacher, literally, I bought everything advertised in Magazines and Ebay. Finally, I saw your listing, it’s been the best investment I could’ve made. It’s only been a month and they’ve just moved me up to a 6 and they can’t stop me from getting better and better. Thanks to you I’ll beat’em all one of these days.
John Duncan, Peoria Ill

You’ve created a real pool monster, I’ve been beating everyone for the last 2 months, last night I beat a 7 back to back flat, 3 zip – 3 zip, he didn’t win a game and before your DVDs I had never beaten a seven a game, not once, some improvement huh? I’ve only got one complaint and a question. Do you find it hard to get a game after you measure and make a couple of great kicks? Also my handicap went to a six after the first month, now they’re moving me up to a seven. I’m so proud of my game now it’s unbelievable, my confidence is through the roof. THANK YOU JIMMY REID

“Jimmy, I’ve seen everybody play, from Ponzi to today, can’t none of ‘em carry your cue playing that nine ball”. Luther (Wimpy) Lassiter, Los Angeles, CA. 1970.

“Diamond” Jimmy Reid was born August 8, 1946, and as a youngster grew up in Gloucester, Massachusetts – an old New England fishing port and an unlikely town for a top pool player. However, Boston and the Olympia Billiard Room, better known as The Mines, weren’t too far away, and there lurked ‘Boston Shorty’, Bob Ingersol, ‘Cuban Joe’ Valdez and other veterans of pool action.

Jimmy was gifted with a potent combination of talent, determination, and the confidence to be the best. Jimmy hit the road while he was still a teenager and began to work his way up the food chain among the great young pool players of the time, with names like Sigel, Hall and Rempe. By the time he entered his first Johnston City, Illinois, tournament, he was playing championship level pool. In 1972, Reid stood at the top of the leader board in both the 9-Ball and One Pocket divisions in Johnston City, at the moment it was raided by the FBI. As one of the detained players, that raid cost him the chance to win the One Pocket crown that his good friend Jimmy Fusco ended up winning.

Jimmy Reid is a past US Open 9-Ball champion, and winner of numerous other professional tournaments, yet he considers ring games and after-hours action to be where he played his best pool. His best games were 9-Ball, and especially 10-Ball, but Jimmy was a fearsome One Pocket player, with an explosive offensive style of play.

In recent years Jimmy has inspired a whole new generation of players to both play their best, and bring their best attitude to the table, through his popular videos and his website, freepoollessons.com. Jimmy credits his father for both his natural athleticism, and his positive attitude; his dad having been a champion boxer before he was seriously wounded during WWII.

Jimmy Reid, Professional Pool Player and Holder of More Than 40 Billiards Titles. Here are a few of his accomplishments:

• 1974 – Southwestern Open 9 Ball Champion, Corpus Christi, TX. Gave the call 8 ball handicap to the whole field.
  
  
• 1977 – World Convention 9 Ball Champion, Lansing, MI
  
  
• 1977 – Only American invited into the World’s International Snooker Championships, finished 3rd, but won an extra 1000 pounds for having the High Break (highest run) of the tournament, Oak Park, MI
  
  
• 1979 – BCA National 8 Ball Champion, regulation tables, 4,300 entries. Louisville, KY
  
  
• 1980 – World Classic 8 Ball Champion, $25,000 1st. Tropicana Hotel, Las Vegas, NV
  
  
• 1985 – US OPEN 9 Ball Champion, Shooting the highest accu-stat match of the entire tournament in the finals.
  
  
• 1988 – ‘King Of The Ring’ 9 Ball Champion, Aspen, CO. Shown on ESPN.
  
  
• 1992, 93 – Won 6 International Open 9 Ball Championships.
  
  
• 1992, 93 – Won The Annual European Open 8 Ball Championship, Back to Back.
