Target Pool by Kim Davenport

Side Pocket said:
I used to have Target Pool and somewhere in between moving it got thrown out. It did wonders for my pool game.

I've been searching for this for a long time and while searching I found that there were several people on here that were looking for it also. I finally found a copy. My buddy I shoot pool with had one so I scanned everything and made it into a PDF.

Did you guys find yours?

Ha!, Coincidentally, I was searching YouTube for Target Pool competition and... nothing! I'd love to see the top pros go at it.

I have one opened ...was put on table and put back in box. Never used as nobody wants to play. And that's sad as we could have had fun in our clubhouse. Anyway... not for sale at this point. They are worth more than they are worth. $150 plus was the average years ago

the relevant data:
Mein Übungsscore ist the score Kim Davenport achieved playing every position from the course (lesson) 3 times. So it's probably a fun goal for practice trying to beat this score.

Spielball: position of Cue ball
Objektball is object ball and
Target is position of target.

Durchschnitt is the average score Kim Davenport got on this shot so a nice goal at practice would be to play the shot 5 or 10 times and trying to beat his score.

Apart from that there is no important info in the text but I will provide some additional translation later, when I have more time. I just added it here, since it's a very funny bad translation from the very rare (difficult to get) German version of the original Target Pool.

The following exercises will test all of your pool skills. The sticks are hard and the targets are difficult. These are the shots I don't look forward to in tournaments. The secret to these jabs is not to panic.
I've seen many players hit the cue ball very hard, much harder than necessary; especially in Exercises 4, 5, 7 and 8. A controlled, steady hit with a good penetration will get you there. Exercises 3, 4 and 5 are hard hits that cut and require very precise aim. Exercise 1 and 6 are gang bumps. Exercise 2 is a long controlled return and 7, 8 and 9 are cushion presses.


Exercise 10 is a demonstration shot - and believe me, it's hard.
If you can handle all these shocks of every quality, you are way beyond that"
beyond the beginner stage and into the advanced stages of gaming.
This course is a real challenge. Push straight, push through, and rejoice
self.
Don't get frustrated - you're playing with the pros!

Die folgenden übungen werden alle Ihre Poolfertigkeiten testen. Die Stöbe sind hart und die Targets sind schwierig. Dies sind die Stöße, auf due ich mich in Turnieren gar nicht freue. Das Geheimnis dieser Stöße ist, nicht in Panik zu geraten.
Ich sah viele Spieler, die den Spielball sehr hart getrofften haben, viel härter als notwendning; besonders in übung 4, 5, 7 and 8. Ein kontrollierter, ruhiger Treffer mit eninem guten Durchstoß wird Sie dahin bringen. Die übungen 3, 4 and 5 sind harte Stöße, die geschnitten werden und ganz genaues Zielen erfordern. übung 1 und 6 sind Bandenstöße. übung 2 ist ein langer kontrollierter Rückläufer und 7, 8 and 9 sind Bandenpreßstöße.


übung 10 ist ein Vorführstöß - und, glauben Sie mir, er ist hart.
Wenn Sie alle diese Stöße von jeder Beschaffenheit beherrschen können, sind Sie weit über das"
Anfängerstadium hinaus und schon in den fortgeschrittenen Stadien des Spielens.
Dieser Kurs ist cine wahre Herausforderung . Stoßcn Sie gerade, stoßen Sie durch, und erfreuen Sie sich
selbst.
Werden Sie n icht frustriert - Sie spielen mit den Profis!
