Byrne-s Complete Book of Pool Shots- 350 Moves Every Player Should Know

5 stars (350 Moves Every Player Should Know) - I have been playing pool for twenty years and this book introduced so many concepts that I don't know why I didn't research this book out sooner. This book single handedly improved my game dramatically. If you shoot pool and are looking for a deivice to train you from the begining to advanced stages look no further, this book is spactacular! 5 stars (It's an arms race. You need this weapon to keep up.) - Byrne's pool books & videos have set (and raised) the industry standards for many years now. As a professional pool instructor, I read everything I can, and have strong opinions about what's actually worthwhile, correct, and genuinely helpful. Byrne's new book has moved to the TOP of my list of books I recommend to my students, from a playing perspective (this is not a science book). I don't care who you are, you don't know all the stuff in this book. And if you're at a level where you know a good percentage of what's in this book, you're also at a level where learning even one useful new thing is worth the price of the book. If you've been playing for a while, this book will open your eyes to a lot of new possibilities and understanding. If you're in your first year or two, you might do better by first focusing on fundamentals of form (find a good instructor) and getting a grasp of how balls behave and why (look for Byrne's videos - Volumes 1 & 2). You don't know what you don't know. Now, with this book, those who have read it will know many things you don't. 5 stars (Great billiard book for all skill levels) - A former city of Cincinnati, College and military Amateur Champion, I've spent a good part of my life walking around a pool table. And I've played all the important games from One-Pocket and Bank Pool to Nine Ball and Straight Pool. More recently, and in semi-retirement, I decided try and take my game to a new level. That meant learning a few new tricks. There's no other author on the game of pocket billiards ...

Byrne-s New Standard Book of Pool and Billiards

5 stars (All I Needed) - I have only been playing for about six months, so I am not too good. If you are like me, and you want to improve your game, buy this book. It is fun to read and extremely helpful. I probably won't be able to master every technique in the book in ten years, but the two or three things I have learned have taken my game to a whole new level. I love it. It is all I need. 5 stars (The bible of pocket billiards) - Robert Byrne's New Standard Book of Pocket Billiards is a key resource in any billiard library for beginners and experts alike. I believe it is the best overall book on pocket billiards extant. Although it does contain a few inaccuracies and instances of scanty detail, overall, it is an invaluable guide for learning fundamentals of pocket billiards with well written explanations and instructive illustrations.... 5 stars (Robert Byrne is brilliant!) - This is a book I come back to time and time again. As someone who plays off and on, I often refer to the book when pool is 'back' in my life. This is a keeper! The diagrams, the history, why shots do what they do, how to play the angles, you can't beat it. Its both informative and entertaining. ...
