Book Review: Simply the Best!
Summary: 5 Stars
Ever since I was knee-high to a grasshopper, I've been playing pool. My dad introduced me to the wonderful world of pocket billards, and I took to it like a duck to water and never looked back. I have been playing professional pool my entire life, and at 48 years of age today, I have been around the world and competed in many tournaments.
Recently, I was chosen for an upcoming invitational 8-ball event. Though most of mainstream America plays 8-ball, the majority of competitions at the top level has been 9-ball. I hadn't thought there was much anybody could tell me about the game of 8-ball, as I play all games. I heard it through the pool grapevine that a couple of Hall of Famers were practicing, honing their skills set, and bought "Playing Your Best Eight Ball," by Phil Capelle.
Well, as the saying goes, you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but when I got my copy of this book, I couldn't set it down. It is not only full of tips of the trade which come up in all games, but I discovered an array of strategies which really helped me take my 8-ball game to a higher level. The pool diagrams are easy to follow, and there is an abundance of wisdom within the 456 pages. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced player, this book covers it all.
"Playing Your Best Eight Ball" is a must-read for players of all caliber, and I recommend this book highly. It is, without a doubt, simply the best.
