A challenge to forum members: Shoot through the curtain

Just curious, where did you find that?? If in a book, is it available??

It's from Mosconi's "Winning Pocket Billiards," otherwise known as "the blue book."

In an earlier volume, "Willie Mosconi on Pocket Billiards," udder wise known as "the red book," he has a variation.

Players see a ghost ball there?? I just see contact points.
Should have broadened my horizons on reading to include books on billiards.
No reason to read when you had access to the real deal.

I take it those are mandatory reading or referred to as billiard bibles??

I think if you love the game, you are interested in the history of the game.

This is some early, elementary type stuff but still cool. And, as I've noted before -- if you learn just one thing, or gain one insight into your own game from a book or a match -- that's money.
