Capelle's 9-ball book? Is it any good?

Many az posters have said that Capelles straight pool book is great. I have been reading it for two days and I agree that it is outstanding.

Has anyone read his book on 9ball? Is it any good?

It's a great book. It pretty much covers the whole game, has something for everyone, and if it's studied properly, you can go back to it for future reference. It covers the basic safety game, kicking, strategies, gambling, break shots and a lot more.

Yes, Capelle's 9-ball book is great and packed with so much valuable information it's a case study in itself!!! It's akin to taking a college course for 2 semesters, 'cept a lot more fun! It does have a few typos and misspellings but nothing that would distract or confuse you. However, you really have to sit down and study it well chapter by chapter - i.e. take a lot of notes - to commit all the principles to memory and your game.


His Play Your Best Pool also has a lot of great 9-ball info.! Buddy Hall even endorsed it.. I'm sure he'd endorse the 9-ball book as well.

Capelle's book on nine ball is superb.

Third, from me- top-notch book. The only better instruction would be interactive.
