This skill development book presents an excellent variety of common shots that show up in game after game. The purpose of each table layout is to use the cue ball to make the 1 ball, and then get into position for the 2 ball. The second ball positions rotate through a series of locations known as "dead zones" plus a couple center table positions.
Almost everyone learns about position play through experience - tens of thousands of shots of ordinary games. The contents of these new-style cheat sheets provide shortcuts to the old-style learning process. It is still necessary to practice these shots. But compare the half dozen or so practice shots needed to learn to the thousands of attempts necessary using trial and error in competitions.
There is more than enough challenge in this layouts for anyone to get a significant skill workout. Many of these are have simple and obvious solutions. Others appear to be tough but with the speed and spin details, you will be successful. A few of these will make you appear to be a shooting genius.
Study this material in two steps. In the comfort of your easy chair, look at each table layout and consider the information provided for proper execution. Imagine yourself shooting the example, concentrating on the indicated speed and spin. Next, flag those table layouts you want to take to the practice table. (Use a pencil to mark the example and insert a bookmark for the page.)
At the practice table, you will need paper reinforcement rings (get them from any office supply store) to mark ball positions to be set up. The shoot the shot several times until you can easily get the expected results. As you gain greater mastery of the cue ball, you will become a tougher and more dangerous player.

Work Description
From the author
I am a BCA and ACS instructor. Over my 50-plus years of playing pool, I have played against interesting and memorable characters across the USA, Europe, and Asia. I have played on all types of tables from that little table-top table with the marble-sized balls to badly beat-up bar boxes to cheap home tables with slatite beds to the joys of well-maintained pool hall pro level tables.
I wrote this book to reveal how easy it is to control the cue ball and move it around the table. It is amazing how simple it is to use carefully applied speed and spin. 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.
CAREFULLY read the Getting Started section. This provides necessary details to help you achieve the best results in the shortest time. With this material and some practice, you will gain an accurate feel for the speeds and spins.
Good shooting & good luck!
