River City Miracle,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Billiard Atlas On Systems and Techniques, Volume IV (Paperback)
In Wichita, I selfishly organized these locals recently using Bondzinsky's ladder club concept so that they could see their averages and have their hearts on improvement. It worked too. There are 14 players. In one month they've played over 100 games and the housemen are cleaning the table everyday. Without 4 pounds of chalk, they play longer and rather well. Then, I make available the Atlas books for those that stand still long enough to read a select page or two. Most will. Those of us that rely on the books and our working our way through them (one new thing at a time) "call our shots" to each other, so we can compare and discuss the many approaches. It's a minor miracle, right here in River City. One guy will say, "Rising Sun," another offers, "Dead Ball here", "Sid", "Walt's," "Sang Lee," "Plus," all those familiar names in the books. Here's the punchline: "these writings have given even Wichita a body of information that is improving play and interest in the game...not just for students and 3 cushion fanatics, like me, but for the newcomers and converted pool players in town. The way these books play a part in the improvement of the game is probably greater than Walt will ever know."

Legally change his name to Santa Claus,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Billiard Atlas On Systems and Techniques, Volume IV (Paperback)
All year long Walt Harris should wear a red cap and a long white beard . And have his name legally changed to SANTA CLAUS (to Room Billiard Players). I had my 1926 Bruns. table re done recently; and I just finished practicing third rail arrivals, with the West Chicago Long Angle. Wow, what a pleasure to see shot after shot right on the money!! A real Christmas present to me and a pleasure to look forward to all year long. Perhaps I'll send him a reindeer or two.

These books will make a difference in all disciplines,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Billiard Atlas On Systems and Techniques, Volume IV (Paperback)
In my ten years as an instructor, and 24 years as a player, I have'nt seen anything like this. These books will make a difference not only in 3-cushion but all disciplines....and will improve my way of instruction......Jimmy Lauridsen
