Format:Paperback
As a pro player, I am always on the lookout for aids to improve my game. This is one of the books I have purchased and treasured. Most of the content is quite basic, but it is amazing how much I have neglected in my game. This basic information becomes so important if you want to be a good player. I really enjoyed the fact that anyone can take a short cut into the game. Most pros learn from trial and error. The most useful part of this book was the defining physics of pool, from the bounce of the table to the speed of a break. This has increased my breaking skill from being lucky just to pot 1 ball on the break to potting 3 consistently. The only thing missing from this book is the ommision of the diamond system which is given in other books such as Byrne's Advanced Technique in Pool and Billiards. This book is perfect for the beginer to novice and is highly recommended by myself.

I have been playing pool for over 25 years, and it never fails to intrigue me when I find a book with information that makes me think. If you feel like you have run out of things to learn, I challenge you to read this book! And if you are a beginner, this book will save you years of frustration by showing you how to play correctly before you inadvertently develop bad habits.

I was a pool/snooker player on bars and pubs just for the fun of it, then I bought a pool table to my home and I wanted to started playing some real pool. This is the perfect book for it, great examples, fantastic figures and explanations, practices, etc.... It's the book that I wanted to learn correctly how to play the game!

Okay, so it's a good book, and a lot of it is applicable to all cue sports, but it is very geared up towards the American style tables, bigger (slower!? Read more
