Balk Video

Yanxfan · #1 (**permalink**) Tue May 31, 2005, 09:47pm

I was told that the Jim Evans balk video was excellent. Would anyone recommend it and does anyone know a website that I can purchase it from ?. I'm having trouble finding the video! Thanks

A good OBRB video.

He does not explain the differences in FED well at all . . . but that is expected as Jim is the leading instructor in short session classes in umpiring for OBR.

Now this is the real tough part:

"I'm having trouble finding the video!"

OK, I admit it is tough.

I googled "Jim Evans" and it went to his webiste (with no stops).

I scrolled down and found the video in, ohhh, 3 seconds.

Me thinks you didn't try very hard.

Jim does explain the OBR rules and in places where there might be a difference he says to check your local rules, but he does not explain them. Take these hints as tips to check the FED rules.

i ordered a balk video over a month and a half ago, and it has not come in yet.

apparently, the company they use to make the copies of the video sent in a bad batch (or two) and people were complaining of the video quality. so instead of sending out bad videos and having to recall all of them, they are just delaying the shipping of the new orders.

but regardless, it's been a month and a half and after calling them 3 times, i want my damn balk video. the jerks will probably still charge me full price for it too. they're lucky the video is as good as it is. haha

It is amazing that anyone still uses video vs. DVD.

I meant to ask this yesterday but my computer froze on me: How much would it cost to order the Jim Evans DVD to Canada? When I ordered Jacksa and Roder's manual, they did a great job of hiding a $40 shipping and handling fee on me.

By the way 3apples, I don't really care what you say but your reputation isn't that great either.

Here's an idea -- write / email / call the vendor and ask.

Aren't the Tom Emanski tapes still available? You can't go wrong with something endorsed by Fred McGriff.

I always thought the "See A Balk, Call A Balk" video was good. It's pretty basic, but explains things well.

Dont waste your money on "see a balk, call a balk" the jim evans video is excellent and worth every penny.

also when i ordered the evans video i received an email that it had shipped just a few hours after i ordered it and i received it in about three days

It's trash compared to the Evans video!
