A fun/inexpensive way to keep in practice

I play 8-ball and 9-ball in a local league. I do not have the room for a real table. So I decided it would be useful to have something like this table to practice basic skills. I'll have to get in a lot of practice on this little table and see if there is any difference in my regular play.
The table came in fully assembled and I was able to start practicing as soon as I got it set up.
The table looks like it is not level, but I think that may just be an illusion. Balls that are hit seem to move in a straight line.
Although the box claims realistic rails, bank shots don't seem to behave as a regular table. But that can be said for poorly maintained tables at any pool hall. So I don't expect to get a lot of practice for realistic bank shots.
I'm looking forward to playing for hours on the table.

I wouldn't be caught dead playing any of these exercises in anyone else's presence but you can always reharmonize and throw out the childish phrases once you've mastered the exercises and then they can be interesting assuming you know how to do that. This book forces you to think in terms of rhythm which can be immensely helpful to your improvisational skills. You get many variations on 4/4 and 3/4 time but no grace notes, 16th notes,sextuplets etc. You can always play around with those variations once you master the basics in at least a few positions and octaves. I suppose this book is aimed at beginning to intermediate guitar students(beginners could play these melodies while I think it would take an intermediate student to play the chordal accompanyments which are pretty good especially with the suggested extentions. The reason I bought the book is it gave me ideas just reading through the teaser pages and I wasn't disappointed when It arrived in the mail. It will help your sight reading skills but if that's all your interested in, you've only brushed on the book's potential. A more advanced follow up book would be nice which would include more advanced rhythmic concepts and perhaps cooler melodies and harmonizations.

Fun to use.  My students seem to get a kick out of it too, often commenting on it when in use.

For me this was worth every penny.  It is a convenient way to learn and a fun system to interact with.  You feel like you are making progress with each lesson.  I was a little suspicious to see if it would work, but for me, it did.  When I have enough money saved, I'm definitely investing in Korean II.

Great device for practice and jamming, everything you need in a small package, tuner, looper, drums, line-in to play backing tracks or I just plug my iPad and watch youtube lessons with audio going through the device into my headphones and practice at the same time.
Built-in effects sound good enough to me.

I wish it had a power button, unplugging cables every time is not very convenient.

My son likes to record video game/toy reviews on YouTube and this allows us to cheaply add cool backgrounds to add a professional look to his videos. I want to encourage his creative side and this has been a fun, inexpensive way to do just that.

This is a pretty simple, but fun game.  My 7 year old who needs some extra math fact practice enjoyed it and I don't think she really realized she was practicing math facts.  She liked the game a lot.  My 5 year old who hasn't learned math facts yet could also play it with help from me guiding him through the math problems.  If he keeps playing it math facts might come easier to him when he starts kindergarten.  Maybe.  For now it's just a fun way to reinforce math fact practice for a kid who need a little extra help there.

These solos are easy to play - some may require a bit of practice beforehand. I enjoy their soothing, uplifting and original tone, and the fact that they're performable without much prior practice. I've been playing these during the meditation time before services begin, and on occasion during our offertory. One personal note: I really don't like all the comments inserted by the composer throughout the pieces, like "yes, seriously!", etc. Some suggestions and comments are helpful or insightful, but would be better included in a paragraph before the music. I just got irritated with so many appearing in the music itself, and with what I'd call "silliness" of some of them. I like "silly", but this is a kind of silly that doesn't come across well when written (and isn't witty). Sorry, Jon - maybe I'm a stick-in-the-mud when it comes to written music!

Great item to mix-up your workout and have fun with picking from the deck without looking to see what's coming up next. I'm a personal trainer and a group exercise instructor and used the deck in a group setting of 6....and we had a blast. And, got a good workout too! You can also pick your cards and plan a more structured workout if you like.

These cards are a great way to keep practicing fresh.  The diagrams and explanations are easy to understand and the cards are well-made.

For the low price, you definitely get your money's worth! The program covers numbers, telling time, basic words, sentences, colors, nations, foods, names of body parts, and more! I especially like that each word is pronounced, not just by one person, but by a man and a woman, so you get a little bit of variation on acceptable pronunciation. And it even has a feature where a word is first said by the software, then you say the word (you need to have a mic) and then you get to hear how your pronunciation sounds compared to how the software says it. There are tests, both easy and hard, which I personally enjoyed. And there's a game show type test option that is kind of cute and fun too. And all this is just on the FIRST of the five disks! The other disks cover such things as pronunciation tests (the software critiques how well you pronounce the words), an interactive picture Dictionary (Kind of like the Rosetta Stone Explorer series), and a cool game called "Who is Oscar Lake?" where based on how well you do will determine if you win the day or end up in prison.
While you'll not become fluent in German with just this software, you'll certainly be able to make your way around Germany just fine after using this software.
That's My Opinion, But You're Welcome To It.

A great way to get some exercise in without spending a fortune on bulky machines. The exercises are simple and effective.  The online videos do help in showing how to do them right.

Bought this for my son and daughter both of whom are golfers but who do not have a lot of time to practice before playing a round of golf.  This lets them set up in backyard and practice their short game.  Saw one complaint that the targets are small but you are really aiming at the flag so target just sort of extra.  Why they include two light weight practice balls I am not sure because to get real practice you want to use real golf balls!  If you want to have some backyard fun and/or practice this is nice item.  Now if they could only come up with a putting green!  That would really help lower the score!

This is a great inexpensive book to keep the kids on track through a practice record.

This is a pretty good product for the money.  It does not have a ton of content and it's more geared toward vocabulary building rather than conversations, but it's okay -- hence 4 stars.  I just recently bought it for my children to help them learn the language and they love it.  It's simple, easy to use and entertaining. they are on it all the time.  It's probably not the best choice for a serious or intermediate learner, but will do for a total beginner.

A great resource if you need to keep some kids entertained easily and cheaply.  For once, a free e-book that accomplishes what the title claims.

This is a fun easy to use book with lots of ideas for each song. You can compliment your usual strumming and singing sings with bits from these arrangements. I live to ding the song and use the ideas within for musical breaks and to generally make my playing that much more interesting to play an+d listen, too. A lot of fun and easily played so... instant gratification. A five star fun book.
