Bill has always been a master of communication whether he’s in the commentary booth talking to viewers, or just one on one. So spend some time with Bill Incardona and raise your One-Pocket game to new levels. (60 min.)
Recommendation:
I have spent much time in the Accu-Stat’s broadcast booth with my old pal Bill, and while we may, and often do, disagree on what particular shot to shoot during our analysis, I never disagree on the thought processes he used to arrive at a shot decision. He has always been one of the great thinking players in our game. His DVD will give you a valuable insight into how he was able to successfully handle the high-pressure, big money situations that he became famous for throughout his career. This DVD is vigorously recommended.
