DESCRIPTION:
A great addition to you pool library S. McCandlish This is entertaining as well as informative, as plenty of it is narrative rather than instructional and many of the instructional tips are actually applicable to real pool games, not just trick shot displays. Anyone who already has Byrne's Standard Book of Pool and Byrne's Advanced should also get this, and his Wonderful World of Pool & Billiards book, as all four volumes regularly refer to (useful) information in each other. While this is MOSTLY a fun book about nifty trick shots (and possibly profitable ones, if you can master them. Super-Excellent, Awesome Book for Trick Shots! A Customer This book covers the classics, such as the football shot, butterfly shot, machine gun shot, just showin' off, etc, plus variations, (i.e. masse machine gun shot) lesser known shots, and shots by the author. Some require almost no skill at all, while making others could keep pros happy all day. Every shot has information about its history, how to do it, and sometimes even suggestions on what to say before you attempt it, plus a clear yet detailed digram of the setup and shot. Almost any book will tell you how to do a few, common trick. Good Luck The book is interesting, but I tried a number of the supposedly "easy" trick shots They're not easy and I'm a fairly decent shot (play in leagues etc). I'm sure with consistent practice, you could actually make 1 or 2 of these shots, but even then they would be "low percentage" shots. The placement of the balls must be perfect and no text can tell where to place these balls with the kind of precision you'll need to make these shots. Just don't expect to buy this book and be making trick shots the next day - You'll be disappointed. Ev
