Shortstop On Straight Pool: A practical guide to your first 100 ball run and taking your game to the next level Kindle Edition

A Shortstop on Straight Pool is like a conversation with a local pool hall mentor. This book is not for novices, but for players who want to take their game to the next level. Bob Keller teaches you how to advance from a beginner to wherever your talent and desire will take you. As pool legend and Hall-of-Famer Mike Sigel once said, “Learn to play straight pool, and you can plan any game”. The book progresses through the process of running a rack of straight pool from beginning to end. Two entire chapters are dedicated to controlling the cue ball while shooting standard and advanced break shots. Bob’s Break Shot Flowchart and Rack Analysis simplify the entire process. Learn how to manufacture break shots, shoot bail-out shots, and find the best end patterns. The Straight Pool Drills chapter will set you on the straight and narrow road to a smooth pool stroke. Over 140 illustrations explain every shot. See if you can guess what the pros did in the question and answer table layouts. Plus, over 200 video clips demonstrate every shot, pattern, and drill – many including slow motion. 9-ball, 10-ball and one-pocket players will find eye-opening information to help them elevate their games as well. John Schmidt, 626-ball world record high run holder, says a 100-ball runner in Straight Pool is pro-caliber and can compete with anyone. Take your game to the next level of skill and enjoyment by learning how to run your first 100 balls in Straight Pool. Read more
