Gabe Owen One Pocket DVDs

Gabe Owen, U.S. Open Champion and U.S. One Pocket Champion, has produced two new instructional One-Pocket DVDs called, One Pocket My Way! 

Gabe recently announced the news and I am very fortunate to be a part of this process.  Gabe is not only a personal friend of mine, I'm also his webmaster (yep, another website I maintain).  :)  The photos you see on the covers are from the Texas State Open of this year (Sept 2010) where Gabe placed 2nd (thank goodness I caught some good snapshots of him!).

The cover design is from his cousin who has helped such clients as Nike.  It is super sharp and snazzy!  I love the design.

Gabe and I recently updated his website to include the DVDs so you can find out more about the DVDs and if you are interested, then purchase them easily and securely through PayPal directly from his website.  (Sound familiar?  Yep, I just recently updated Phil Capelle's website similarly, also.) 

Gabe has two DVDs available - Beginner / Intermediate and Advanced.  I can't wait to check them out!  You neither?  Then check out the shipping info and even a teaser clip from the DVDs on his website:  http://www.gabeowen.net/onepocketdvds.html

Go ahead, tell him Trigger sent ya.  :)

BilliardsPress Website Updated

As many of you know, I am a webmaster for several websites.  Well, recently, I gave BilliardsPress.com a little update.  :)

Phil Capelle, well-known author of the Play Your Best Pool series, has a website (http://www.billiardspress.com/) that describes all his books and also provides an avenue to buy his books directly from him.

Because of technical issues, Phil and I decided to make an improvement to his website for you.  We thought it would be best to allow readers, fans, and students-of-the-game to be able to purchase books online via PayPal through his website. This is a pretty big change for us - before you could only use a credit card via an online form or send in a check.  Now you can use PayPal which allows for a safer and easier transaction for credit cards.

The update is timely, as this is the 15 Year Anniversary for Play Your Best Pool!  Read the Press Release here.

Check out the Paypal buttons:

BTW, every book is NOW IN STOCK (except Capelle on 9Ball, which should be soon).   These make great Holiday Gifts, if you don't already own them.  My favs are Play Your Best Pool and Play Your Best 8Ball out of all eight of his books.

Victory Poses Wish

I was SO hoping AZBilliards.com would get a Victory V Pose of the winner of the Steve Mizerak Championship this past weekend so we could have THREE Victory V Poses on the three windows on the front page of AZB. 

The Victory V Pose?  You know.... when after a huge win the champion throws their arms up the air with excitement, almost in the shape of a V.  See Darren Appleton and Jasmin Ouschan below for the perfect Victory V pose after their very successful recent wins. 

It would have been so cool if we had a Victory V Pose of the eventual winner, Mr. Earl Strickland (congrats, Earl, btw) to add to the Victory V Pose gallery that was abound on the front page.  But alas... :(

I contacted Mike Howerton (my partner at AZB) and he said he had hoped to get a trophy shot of Earl from the Seminole Tribe, but they hadn't sent him a pic yet.  Dang... I was hoping!  Three Victory V Poses would have looked awesome on AZBilliards.com.

It would have made for a better blog entry, too, lmao.
