ok we all have either read the question and comments on the billiard workbook or just passed over it. and from the looks of it there seems to be just a lot of negative comments. so if that workbook is no good the pool players then wat book would be. i personally like 99 critical shots almost the same thing but just in fewer shots. also brynes complete book of pool shots. so what do you guys think is the best???
 
I think the Monk's Lesson or Capelle's Play Your Best Pool have enough drills for one lifetime.
 
I'm partial to both the Byne's standard book and Jack Kohler's "The Science of Pocket Billiards"

The 99 crticial Shots of Pool and all of Cappelle's books also get very high marks.
 
Pro Book

Nobody has mentioned "The Pro Book" by Henning (??). I've not looked closely at "99 Critical Shots" , but would expect that the shots covered in Henning would be comparable. Henning bases his book on standard shots, about 15 pots, 15 safeties, 15 kicks, 15 kick-safeties, and 15 banks (or thereabouts).

Joe Tucker's got a neat little drill book called "Guaranteed Improvement".

And it will even fit in the long pocket of your cue case, if you have such a pocket.

The best book, by far, is the checkbook. Break it out, run and get a lesson from a qualified instructor. While the books are excellent sources of info (I have bought and memorized almost all of them), the "answer" is not in them. The knowledge is necessary, but not sufficient, to become expert (and develop a rock-solid, reliable, repeatable, pressure-resistant stroke). Most of us are just kidding ourselves if we think we can develop expertise on our own in any reasonable amount of time. JMO
 
blah blah said:
Pleasures of Small Motions by Bob Fancher. It's not on shots- it's on your mental game.

IMHO, "The Inner Game of Tennis" is far, far superiour to Fancher's book.
