Synopsis |
 |
Bestselling author, Hall-of-Famer, and master-teacher Robert Byrne is back with his most impressive effort yet: an exhaustive compendium of more than 350 pool shots that will take its place among the game's classic instructional books. Ranging from tickys to double-kisses and from jump shots to diamond systems, Byrne's Complete Book of Pool Shots takes players on an accelerated trip from pool kindergarten to graduate school. Most of Byrne's expertly diagrammed shots are not widely known and many are described here for the first time-in many cases, these are the secrets of a lifetime. Players of every skill level, including the most advanced, will find their game greatly strengthened by the clever moves Byrne has assembled.
For twenty-five years, Byrne's New Standard Book has been
"the definitive work on pool and billiards" (National Billiard Review). This new shot-by-shot reference will enable players to reach an even higher level. They'll have to read it before their opponents do.

"Just when I thought Robert Byrne's best was already available, this book proved me wrong. Takes the art of pool to another level with charm and wit...a masterpiece!"
Tom 'Dr. Cue' Rossman, ESPN and World Masters Trick Shot Champion,
"It's simple -- without this book you'll start losing to people who have it. No matter how much you think you know about pool, you don't know this much."
Michael Shamos,Author and Curator of the Billiard Archive,
