3.0 out of 5 stars
advanced techniques?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Byrne's Advanced Technique in Pool and Billiards (Paperback)
If you've already read Byrne's standard book, don't waste your money on this book, unless you're really in to 3cushion billiards. There is very little new info in this book. Borrow it from a friend, or check it out in the library if you can. Some stuff is useful, but you'll be disappointed if you've already read Byrne's.

You don't know it all,
By A Customer
This review is from: Byrne's Advanced Technique in Pool and Billiards (Paperback)
Byrne does an excellent job of showing a variety of interesting shots and examples of when to use them. He broaches some of the more subtle points of the game and shows not just that they work, but how. Bob Jewett's work on the physics side of this book is phenomenal. If you're sure you can't learn any more about pool or billiards, this book will change your mind. A truly comprehensive guide to the next level of play.Brian

4.0 out of 5 stars
A must read for all cuesports enthusiasts.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Byrne's Advanced Technique in Pool and Billiards (Hardcover)
This book by Robert Byrne is an unusual compilation of player profiles, peculiar shots and various other interesting articles covering the gamut of cuesports.It's greatest feature is the discusion of various aspects of physics like collisions, transfer of side, the masse', diamond systems and much more. It succesfully debunks many myths found in pool halls and in the myriad of physics illiterate instructional books written by(or ghost written for) star players. The author is an experienced writer and nationally competitive 3 cusion billiards player.
