Review
The best book to learn by, December 19, 1999 By Roger Townsend (Houston, TX USA)
This review is from: WINNING POCKET BILLIARDS: For Beginners and Advanced Players With a Section on Trick Shots (Paperback)
Willie Mosconi, of course, was the greatest pool player of all time. He won 15 world titles in 17 years, hold the high-run record,
and when 7 years old almost defeated the then legendary Ralph Greenleaf. But could Willie teach all that knowledge and experience to mere mortals
like us?
The answer is "Yes." He explains with clear pictires all the fundamentals about stance, grip, and aim.
He also gives good advice about speed of stroke and english. He provides initial strategic advice on how to play position and shot selection.
He also has a nice selection of makeable trick shots at the end. My only criticism is the discussion of bank shots,
which can only be described as flat out wrong. I know that he knew how to shoot them, but the description and diagram he uses are not how its done.
For that, I am ashamed to say, I had to consult "Minnesota" nee "New York" Fats's book.
