BYRNES COMP BK OF POOL SHOTS

"Byrne is to billiards what Shakespeare is to theater."-JERRY KARSH, PRESIDENT, U.S. BILLIARDS ASSOCIATION Bestselling author, Hall-of-Famer, and master teacher Robert Byrne presents 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. Byrne's Complete Book of Pool Shots takes players on an accelerated trip from pool kindergarten to graduate school. Most of these 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. *20 CATEGORIES OF POOL SHOTS-FROM TICKYS TO DOUBLE-KISSES AND FROM JUMP SHOTS TO DIAMOND SYSTEMS *SECRET SHOTS FOR WINNING GAMES *VARIATIONS THAT WILL AMAZE AND INSPIRE "I thought Byrne's best was already available, but this book proved me wrong.
