Download or read book Billiards Manual Three Cushion written by Gerhard Hüpper and published by Litho-Verlag eK. This book was released on 2009-03-01 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 3-cushion is the highest form of carom billiards. To score a hit with the cue ball on both object balls after contact with three cushions, is one of the most difficult billiard disciplines of all. Sport, artistry and physics come together here in impressive fashion, shown in text and graphics in this book. This two-volume work presents the most comprehensive publication of 3-cushion billards ever to appear in print. It deals in depth with all areas of the game, illustrated with over 1,800 graphics. Volume 1 discusses the basics: Intelligent shot selection - stroke preparation - stroke types and execution - precise aiming - correct speed - physical principles. The main section, organized by patterns, deals with the various possible solutions in detail. On account of the volume of subjects and the partly deeper analyses the book is not only intended for beginners, but particularly for advanced players as well. It is suited for practice and as a reference manual. Advice is offered under consideration of different playing strengths of readers. Priority is given to the question of the best solution to a task, and to position and system play as a way to marked improvement of results.
Download or read book 3 Cushion Billiard Systems written by Sid Banner and published by . This book was released on 2005-05 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past several years I have made many discoveries about "System Sid Ball Hit System," Diamond System and Clock Systems. This book is designed for billiard, pool and snooker players: *New 3 cushion players will progress faster. *Pool and snooker players will learn more about applying cue ball English and how to use the diamonds or pearls on the rails to bank or kick when necessary. *Intermediate carom players will raise their scoring average along with their confidence to play a more agressive game. *Top carom players will add to their fantastic repertoire and billiard knowledge. The "System Sid" Billiard System is designed to give the shooter more answers concerning the hit on the first object ball and the exact English, speed and stroke required to score a point on almost any carom or bank shot. The "System Sid" Diamond System has both the adjustments to the cue ball English and/or cue ball speed with the correct adjustment based on your first object ball or cue ball position on a five feet by ten feet carom table. The third rail tract is not longer a mystery! My "Three Cushion Ball Hit System" works with success on all carom billiards, short angle shots or long angle shots. The missing link I discovered was to have two different ball hit systems. First, a short angle system, and second, a long angle system. Both systems share the following: *The cue ball English numbers are the same for the short and long angle systems. *The 3rd and 4th rail diamond numbers to score are the same for the short and long angle systems.

This action adventure novel sends our hero, Nick Farrell, deep into Mexico to find Jack Logan, his missing friend. He not only finds his missing friend but much more, as together they discover and become involved in a conspiracy which involves the smuggling of very rare, very old, very exotic archeological artifacts. The fact that some believe these artifacts contain certain magical powers adds to their allure and makes them very valuable, valuable beyond money. The further Nick searches the more he uncovers and when he ultimately finds himself in possession of the Little Queen, he inadvertently becomes the hunted. He soon finds himself obsessed by this magical Little Queen and tries to learn more. However, the more he learns the more danger he must face, and he soon finds himself hopelessly but voluntarily facing a violent world of smuggling, kidnapping, stolen military secrets and the CIA. Nick finds that he has put not only himself in danger but others as well, as he tries to solve a mystery that always seems just a little beyond his grasp. After chasing all over Mexico and into Southern California, the trail finally culminates at the beginning of time itself. As if by fate he is uncontrollably drawn to the ancient world of Maya astronomy, mythology, and superstitions in order to solve this mystery. He, as well, is challenged to learn the Maya truths they as pertain to the beginning of the world and the true meanings of life. The deeper Nick finds himself involved the more he wants to know, until finally he tries to learn it all. This journey to find the truth is more than Nick bargained for as he is taken on a mysterious path and transcends reality, as he knows it, to find new concepts and truths.

Download or read book Willie s Game written by Willie Mosconi and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2015-09-22 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “fascinating” memoir by America’s greatest professional billiards player, a child prodigy in the pool halls of the 1930s who became a world champion (Library Journal). Willie Mosconi’s father never wanted him to play billiards. At night, the boy would lie awake listening to the clatter of balls downstairs in the family pool hall, and when his father wasn’t around, he would climb onto an apple crate to practice his shots. When his dad started locking up the balls and cue, young Willie improvised with potatoes and a broom handle. By the time he was 7 years old, he was good enough to play against Ralph Greenleaf in a match billed as “The Child Prodigy vs. The World Champion.” It was the start of a magnificent career that would include an unprecedented 15 world championships and the record for most consecutive balls run without a miss: 526. Nicknamed “Mr. Pocket Billiards,” Mosconi was instrumental in popularizing pool in America, serving as a consultant for iconic films such as The Hustler and The Color of Money and facing off against the famed hustler Minnesota Fats in 2 celebrated matches. Cowritten with journalist Stanley Cohen, Willie’s Game is the colorful, captivating autobiography of an illustrious champion who lifted his sport to new heights and played by one simple rule: If you don’t miss, you don’t have to worry about anything else.
