"BIILIARDS
as it should be played"

By Willie Hoppe...........Copyright 1941....... The Reilly & Lee Co. , Chicago, Illinois

IMO.......this book is the masterpiece publication of all time on billiards (3 cushion), It was written more than 70 years ago and it still rates #1.

I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one. Many of the diagrams are wrong, he didn't really author it, and much better material has since been put out.

If you would have mentioned Daly's billiard book, I would say ok. Ceuelemens Mr 100 is a great one to have as well.

Byrne's first two books on pool are still the best things out there for someone interested in both pool and billiards.

After Byrne and watching Accu-Stat videos, especially one pocket and straight pool videos, I would say Walt Harris's Billiard Atlas books have made the biggest day to day improvement in my game (kicking for pool, system shots for three cushion).

I honestly can't think of an instructional video I've seen that was better than the books I have or a good match video with good commentary. Stroke mechanics seem like something that you really would benefit more from a qualified instructor being there in person than a video or book.
