5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book for advanced players,
By
This review is from: Win at Pocket Billiards (Paperback)
Although this book's title doesn't really indicate it's true contents, it is certainly a clear and concise guide to "the diamond system" and 1, 2, and 3 rail kicks for the advanced pool player.
Contrary to a few other reviews I have read about this book on this site, I feel the shot descriptions and illustrations are very easy to follow and understand. One reviewer complained about the lack of explanation of concepts like running/reverse english, and that is true. The author tells you right up front that you need to already be familiar with the concept of english, as well as terms like long rail, short rail, and extended diamond, but he also explains them in the included glossary for you. The quote by one reviewer that "This book tells you nothing you cannot find out from another good player at a hall" is just an outrageous claim, unless the pros regularly hang out at your local pool hall. If you are looking for a book about pocketing balls, improving your stroke, or how to execute a good draw shot, this is not the book for you. However, if you are an advanced player looking to de-mystify "the diamond system" and 1, 2, and 3 rail kicks, as well as banks, this IS the book for you. It is also very short and to the point, which is a plus in my book. There are many books on pool which cost three times as much as this, but don't divulge these seldom discussed advanced techniques.

This book is just awesome, and has made an incredible improvement in my game. I used to dread Bank shots, and now I rather bank the ball. Thanks you - This is a must read if you want to master the art of banking and kicking balls.
4.0 out of 5 stars
kicking systems,

This review is from: Win at Pocket Billiards (Paperback)
The systems work if you practice a lot (no ones stroke is exactly the same as someone elses) and learn to adjust for each table. The author means precisely what he says, you have to pay attention to every detail in the explanations. The outline of the 3 rail diamond system is as good as any.
