Has anyone out there heard of the fine art method DVD; a new way of coaching snooker? Please comment, all opinions appreciated!

I've seen the website but it didn't have any details of how or where you could buy the DVD.

geordie:

I believe this is the guy who tried to sell his 'new' method to both Clive Everton and Terry Griffiths and when he was turned down he responded by making some very negative comments on them both.

This method was generally thought to be a non-starter by anyone who has had the chance to see it, but that's not many people as he has been keeping it very close to his chest except to say we should see a world champion using his method soon (I think he meant amateur, not pro).

He also slags everyone off as ripping off the estate of Joe Davis by teaching his methods, ignoring the fact Joe published his methods years ago and the copyright has long run out.

His website doesn't give anything away nor does it tell you how to actually buy his training methods, so I don't know if it's a scam or not. As I am one of those guilty people who teaches a lot of the Joe Davis methods I am probably not able to buy his method DVD, but I would love to have a look at them as I'm always open to new ideas.

The fine art method DVD.

Thanks a lot for all your comments. Much appreciated! PS, still none the wiser. Can anyone please let the forum know if you have seen the fine art method DVD and your opinion of it. Thanks snooker fans!!

[Terry Davidson]

Ah, it's the Glover grip, not Clover grip. I think that may be Danny Glover who I believe is an advocate of this system but I have never seen him play.

No idea how to go about seeing the DVDs on this coaching system and no idea what they cost. I haven't heard anyone talk about this for over a year on it, however there is a string on here somewhere as I remember seeing some (mostly negative) comments on it

the glover grip!!

Yes Terry spot on as usual. It's the Glover grip!not the clover grip as stated on his web site!PS looking on his web site it seems the DVD is £100 for 60mins of Ian Glover coaching the Fine Art Method!! including the glover grip!!

[Terry Davidson]

Hmmm....I wonder what you get for the 100quid. 60 minutes doesn't seem like a lot but let me know if you purchase it as I would be very interested in what you think of the method and perhaps some idea of how this method would differ from the standard Joe Davis method (with some modifications) that we all use.
