Book Synopsis Safety Toolbox: Advanced Defensive Strategies & Tactical Tools for Pool & Pocket Billiards by : Allan P. Sand
Download or read book Safety Toolbox: Advanced Defensive Strategies & Tactical Tools for Pool & Pocket Billiards written by Allan P. Sand and published by . This book was released on 2011-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is the story about this book. During those early couple of decades when I got bitten by the Pool Passion Bug, the idea of winning the game by purposely dogging a shot or two was considered cowardly and the shooter was a yellow-bellied weakling, deserving of sneers and insults. Nowadays, a well-played safety is applauded by railbirds, and feared by those who can't kick or jump the cue ball. I watched many games where the sure-to-lose player, seemingly by accident, prevented the obvious-to-win player from winning. (Well, I was a little slow to learn some things, but eventually, I realized what was happening.) Defensive shooting skills are as important to winning as offensive shooting skills. I started applying this radical idea of defensive shooting to my own game - and suddenly I was winning a lot more matches - even against better players. What an eye-opener this was. And yes, occasionally I get accused of cowardice. I don't care - I won, they lost. This book is the accumulation of over ten years of study and analysis of defensive and safety shooting options. The phrase, "Knowledge is Power" sums up the contents of this book and I want to pass on these hard-learned lessons to you. These are the advanced defensive strategies and tactical tools used by professionals and road players. Just reading this material will improve your winning percentage by 10%. Yes - you do need to practice the cue ball and object ball positioning skills in the book, but just knowing the how, when, and why to play the safety will make winning a more common experience in your life. Basically, the contents of this book teach you how to trick and trap your opponent into helping you win. Winning is so much easier when you can identify your opponent's weaknesses and use them against him. There is even ways to use your opponent's strengths against him. (Who would have thought that?) You will learn about basic safety types, how to analyze opponents, use simple tricks and traps to prevent your opponent from winning, and the necessary precision exercises (which will also help your offensive game). It will be more fun to win more games

Book Synopsis Basic Defense and Safety Fundamentals for Pool and Pocket Billiards by : Allan P. Sand
Download or read book Basic Defense and Safety Fundamentals for Pool and Pocket Billiards written by Allan P. Sand and published by Allan P. Sand. This book was released on 2012-04 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are two classes of pool players in the world. The serious shooter is dedicated to finding ways to gain better control how the cue ball rolls around the table. Most players enjoy pool because, well – it’s fun! This book is written for you guys. This is an introduction to the idea that defensive shooting is just as important as offensive shooting. Here is something to remember: there are no rules that require you to play stupid shots. When you have a table layout with a shot that is too tough, you really do not have to figure out some crazy way that the object ball MIGHT (maybe) get to a designated pocket. How about this as a simple solution? DON’T try to make the shot. Instead, shoot something that prevents your opponent from winning the game. If you do this, your opponent has a difficult situation. You can let him invent silly reasons to miss. You come back to the table with a good chance to win (or get closer to a win). Let him play all offense all the time. You play a few safeties and let him give you the opportunity to win. When this book falls into your hands, there is stuff you can use immediately. Besides the tips, there are techniques, exercises, and a few tricks that help you win more games. Yes, you can even use these to beat better shooters. Consider this book to be the digest version of the Safety Toolbox. A couple of hours of study, combined with some practice table time, and you are suddenly a tougher shooter. Let your opponents use the bar-banger style of calling fantastic hero shots, such as, “5 ball, four rails, off the 7 and into the side pocket.” This book will add some competitive maturity to your playing style. I don’t need to wish you good luck. This book and some of your time is all you need to begin winning more games. And here’s a useful benefit from the book – you don’t have to outshoot your opponent. Simply prevent him from winning.

Book Synopsis Advanced Cue Ball Control Self-Testing Program by : Allan P. Sand
Download or read book Advanced Cue Ball Control Self-Testing Program written by Allan P. Sand and published by Billiard Gods Publications. This book was released on 2011-10-01 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you think (or want to think) you are an “A” player, this book will either prove you are as good as you think – or demonstrate that you need to work harder. These series of layouts require excellent pocketing skills – and strong positioning abilities. For shooters who are seriously striving to reach that level, this book is a critical part of your training regimen. The sequence of these layouts either confirms your ability, or demonstrates a weakness that needs to be fixed. Every layout requires that you make the ball - then get into position for the next ball. Every layout shows the positions of the cue ball, 1 ball, and 2 ball. You only need to pocket the one ball, and then the two ball - very simple and easy to understand. But, these are not ordinary problems, every starting position for the cue ball and 1 ball was a problem facing a professional player in national and international competitions. Study this material in two steps. In the comfort of your home, review the layout, and carefully consider your options. How can you solve the problem? What speed and spin is needed? Are there multiple solutions? Write down your ideas. Then, take this to the practice table, and see if your solutions are possible. Learn from your failures, and make adjustments. And, once you learn how, repeat several times. It is very important that you can consistently make every ball. This book will be a challenge to your abilities, a source of many frustrations, and the joyful experiences of successful accomplishments. Enjoy the challenge and the satisfaction of success! ++++++++++++ After I wrote the popular “Cue Ball Control Cheat Sheets” book, several friends who are serious players, wanted something more difficult. Most billiard books and videos are for average players. There are very few books for advanced players. They need a significant challenge to their skills. This is that book.First, hundreds of hours of competitive matches were reviewed. Several hundred shots were selected. After a series of tests with strong “A” players, the system in this book was designed.
