Fanchers ability to deconstruct conventional pool players advice on issues such as concentration, emotion and focus and redefine it in a logical and succinct manner will have players all around the world questioning their inherent bad habits and misconceptions on the 'Mental Game'.

When reading this book you will feel a sense of irony as the author skillfully describes scenarios of game situations that you will have encountered. Your respect for the tools and techniques to improving your mental game that are provided will not come solely because Fancher has a Ph.D in Psychotherapy but ultimately because he is a pool player like you and me.

If you're looking to improve your pool and maybe get some psychological advantage in competition from this book prepare for dissapointment. In my opinion it's mostly babble, a psychotherapist who plays pool decides to write a book and makes notes on some of the most obvious points about how to improve your game. It did confirm to me however that the people who benefit most from psychology are 1) the advisor and 2) folk with a mental problem.

It wont harm to read this book, and even if you get only a couple of pointers that are relevant to you it may be worth the cover price and effort to read, just don't expect too much !

Great book, going into all aspects of the mental side of the game. Well-written, easy to read. My game improved dramatically. A must for any serious player.
