MASTERING POOL George Fels
Mastering Pool is a thoroughly entertaining and educating read for just about anybody who enjoys the sixth most popular participant sport in America, with an estimated 30-million-plus players.
There has never been a book on pool quite like this one.
If you are a pool player who already knows the fundamentals of the game and can indeed pocket a few balls with some consistency, this book is for you. It takes you through pool's four major games: straight pool, eight-ball, nine-ball, and one-pocket, showing you not simply how to play but how to think the game through. Illustrated by hundreds of photographs and diagrams, including photographic problems for you to solve in each game, the book never strays far from the game's mental aspects, emphasizing advanced playing principles. Fels also discusses the techniques of the game's star players as well as the ideas of contemporary psychologists such as Tutko and Gallwey.
George Fels is a prominent Chicago-area tournament player and a frequent contributor to The National Billiard News.
