Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: A&B: Not so good. Comment: I've heard in the past that this was a staple of Ultimate DVDs. Perhaps it is, but I own much better DVDs from ultivillage. The game footage is from poor angles and does not show complete games. There are better ultimate DVDs out there - don't buy this one. Customer Rating: Summary: Didn't learn much from this Comment: I have only played in one 10 week season but what I will say was lacking in this was more learning tools for beginners. The commentary tracks seem to be narrated by a clique who seem to make a few too many "inside" references for a newbie to relate to. I paraphrase but pointing out a girl in an action sequence and saying "I love her" really doesn't help me relate. I do get from this that the players are a strong knit community.
The action footage I would have liked to have seen was more of stack formations. Too often we don't see what the thrower sees downfield. For someone like me who is trying to learn how to run good routes, this DVD didn't help much.
There is a nice instructional DVD sold with a disc in most sporting goods chains. The name escapes me.
