The most comprehensive book on the game ever published. Provides you with 470 illustrations that make it easy to learn the game's shots and strategies. Over 140 of the shots were taken from the world's leading professionals in tournament competition. Accurate shot-making is a must in nine-ball, so you are shown which shots you must master and how to adapt your pool fundamentals to nine-ball. A big chapter on the break, the most important shot in nine-ball, includes sequence photos of world champion Johnny Archer's break. Over 90 illustrations teach you the position routes you need to know to send the cue ball anywhere on the table. The chapter on pattern play shows you how to plan your run-outs. You will also learn how to read the table and break clusters. The run-outs of nine world-class players are then analyzed, shot by shot. The book provides you with an in depth course on strategy. Advice is tailored to your current level of play with the ABC system for rating players. In addition, there are lengthy chapters on safety play and the kicking game. A big chapter on practicing nine-ball shows you what to practice and how to develop a practice routine.
Along with Capelle's Play Your Best Eight Ball and Play Your Best Straight Pool, this book is a discipline-specific "drill down" that builds on the fundamental in his Play Your Best Pool, and Practicing Pool, and A Mind for Pool. Robert Byrne's book series is also highly recommendable, along with Ray Martin's The 99 Critical Shots in Pool.
Note: This is an OCRed scan of the original book, with all the illustrations. There is actually a newer edition (2018) retitled Play Your Best 9 & 10 Ball that adds coverage of the ten-ball variant, but little of the material has changed.
