Customer Reviews

Great book to learn about the 80% of pool you are ignoring
I've been playing for about 4 months and have really gotten into the game. I've bought a lot of books about how to "make this shot" or "what strategy to use in a game of 9-ball" but I didn't have a book about the mental side of the game. I picked up this book to fill that gap.

I read it and found some useful ideas but was a little disappointed that I didn't find more. A week after buying the book I entered my first tournament at a local pool room. I didn't do as well as I would have liked but couldn't understand why. That night I went home and looked through this book again. Suddenly it was like a totally different book. After having played in the tournament I realized what this book really teaches you: How to think about pool and your playing. If you are into playing pool seriously, you need this book. A great addition to your shelf.
