Book excerpt: **** This is the SOFTCOVER/GLUED BINDING edition, NOT the notebook spiral binding **** Poolology is a breakthrough aiming system for pool players. I was once asked, ""How do you aim?,"" and I couldn't answer. I said I didn't know, and I'm sure the player that asked me that thought I was holding out on him, keeping some great secret to myself. But it was true - other than to call it instinct, I had no idea how to aim. I'd never been taught how to aim. I just shoot balls into the pocket. This question, ""How do you aim?,"" is what prompted me to write Poolology. After experimenting with various aiming systems, I learned that most aiming systems don't work for most people. That explains why so many pool players struggle to be consistent shot makers. I wanted to fix that. I wanted to find a system that could teach players how to aim any shot on the table, how to develop a feel for pocketing balls. No such system existed, until now. It's called Poolology!

Download or read book Control the Cue Ball written by Robin Kelly and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2020-03-27 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about Cue Ball Speed and Stroke Control in the game of Pool. In studying this area, I found a basis to create references for obtaining this control that anyone could learn. They were found through proper skill arrangement and stroke familiarities. These similarities became references to creating bridges of understanding between the individual Cue Ball Control skills. As you work with the material in this way, you’ll notice an improvement in your abilities because now your feel will be based on an understanding of the connections and core strokes, you’ve come to know. The player with the refined touch is always the player with the most chances to win. Some players develop a nice feel for Speed and Stroke on their own, but many don’t. Being under described to instruction means, it takes a lot of playing to develop these fine motor skills and many players have complete skills missing because they tend to play their favorite games. Each discipline or game requires the use of all the Cue Ball skills but in differing percentages. So, it’s possible to ignore the use of some skills that would make you an above average player in your favorite game. If you enjoy the game, why not play your best? Cue Ball Travel and Stroke Control are essential to a better game. In many ways Cue Ball skill is the most important one. The way I cover it, it would be hard not to get better Cue Ball Control just from the reading. You’ll be left with ideas that make sense, and they will lead you to a better ability to Control the Cue Ball. As you revisit the skills in practice your control will increase. Some of the skills are a challenge at first but as you wrap your mind around them your ability to perform them will rise. The techniques are easy to think about in games which is where the art takes place. As your control increases it blends with feel and touch, which is exactly what you should be able to achieve. Your feel will now have a stroke you understand to go with it. This makes Cue Ball movement more dependable and causes you to connect with it sooner, now that you have a memory in your mind for the stroke that helps you create muscle memory for your stroke. This book is my favorite of the Series. Pool is a game of shot making and touch. The feel with which you Control the Cue Ball when making a shot, is easily no less than 80% of the game. With your Speed and Spin better you’ll be tougher to beat. I cover techniques for both in this book also an Advanced Technique for reducing Cue Ball Travel Distance with Side Spin that is worth the price of the book.
