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.

In one respect, a critical pool playing secret is revealed here – control of the cue ball is really easy to learn – when you finally realize you need to know how to precisely hit it with your cue tip.Each page is your cheat sheet to successfully playing a common layout. Each layout has a cheat tip (sometimes two) on how to get the best results. With study and practice, these layouts will teach you to master and manage the cue ball to your best advantage. With these examples, you can successfully adapt your new knowledge into handling other shot opportunities with similar configurations. Instead of casually learning how to handle these positions through thousands of failed shots, these layouts provide the necessary true knowledge that ensures that you can win more games. Skills will develop as you increase your shooting experience. Add the facts and details in this book to your knowledge base and you will enhance your development as an Intelligent Shooter.
