Summary: Precision Results with Precision Pool
Comment: At last, a book on pool that EXPLAINS what you are trying to do and doesn't assume you are related to Willie Mosconi. You gain a better understanding of the reactions of the cue ball and an accurate insight of where the target ball will go. Well written, beautifully illustrated, and logically laid out, this book has already shown improvement in my game and will do the same for yours.

Summary: Precision Pool
Comment: A few years back, my husband introduced me to pub nights and the game of pool. Even though my play was sporadic at best, I immediately loved the game and took on the challenge of getting better. Now, I play whenever I can and am looking to join a league.
Since I've learned to play pool mostly through trial and error and by watching other people, I always wondered what bad habits I had picked up while trying to improve my game. When I saw the book Precision Pool, I had to have it.
I would highly recommend Precision Pool to anyone wanting to improve their game. This book starts with the basics: everything from the stance and creating a proper bridge (an area I needed some guidance in) to finding the right cue for the job at hand and understanding the construction of a pool table. The majority of the book, however, focuses on how to succeed at key shots and set up for the next shot.
For best success, you can practice these shots by replicating the full color illustrations and instructions given for each set of angles, strategies, and trick shots. I read the book, went off to the pub to play a few games. I was surprised at how much I retained and was able to use during actual play. Even though I'm still getting used to the new bridge, I can already see a drastic improvement in my game. My husband even wants to borrow the book now.

Summary: Now I'm Ready, Set!
Comment: Just what I've been waiting for! I'm a total pool novice but have always wanted to cue up! You know how you watch ESPN and WISH it was you up there? Picked up PRECISION POOL, and now I feel like I'm ready, set for action. Love the color pictures and diagrams. It's all so easy to understand. Plus it's lots of fun to read. You can tell the authors love this game and want us to love it, too. Thanks!

Summary: Finally, a writer, publisher and editor with a clue!
Comment: As a chef and pool fanatic, I have, over the years, built an extensive pool and cookbook library. While the culinary arts have mastered the recipe for successful publishing, it's about time pool authors and publishers released a FULL COLOR edition of a pool instruction book. This book has awesome color diagrams, photos and brilliant content. If you are even remotely serious about playing pool, or know someone that is, for less than $20, Precision Pool is a must! Don't hesitate to order this book. If this can't help your game, give up - nothing can!
