Black Belt 8-Ball is designed for league players who want to reach
the highest level possible with their game. Black Belt 8-Ball cover
all the different areas of 8-ball and gives you a belt ranking for
each section of the book. This way you can see which area of your
game needs more practice. Black Belt 8-Ball also gives you an
overall belt ranking at the end so you can see your improvement the
next time you play through the book. These are the games that I
have played for the last 4 years to get my skill level up to where
it is today. Since I started this as my practice routine I have
gone from an average player to a very highly skilled road
tournament player and I have won 94 amateur pool tournaments. You
can achieve any level of play that you desire. It won't happen
overnight. It won't come easy. No one is going to give it to you.
You will have to earn it. But, it can be earned. If you truly
believe it can. "Hurricane" Wayne Jenkins
8.5 x 11, 389 pages large 12 point fonts. An informed peek at the
netherworld of pool hustling, with over 300 photos. A rowdy
assortment of anecdotes, insights, encounters, and esoteric
knowledge of the legendary pool hustlers of the second half of the
20th century. This book is composed of the comprehensive extracts
from the personal experiences of the life-long, fellow hustler,
Freddy the Beard Bentivegna, and with running commentary from many
of the constituents themselves.
Buying or selling a pool table can be haphazard for anyone who
doesn't know what to look for, or how to look for it. In order of
imprtance, I have listed what I think are the ten essential
components you should consider, and why, to make it easier for you
to put a value on any pool table.
"Pool Table Assembly" is a complete, detailed, and illustrated
instruction manual for assembling almost any pool table. Mose
Duane, author of A Rookie's Guide to, "Pool Table Maintenance and
Repair," "Buying or Selling a Pool Table," and "Playing Winning
Pool" wrote the manual. The need for it came about with the
realization that far too many people are talked out of assembling
their own pool table because "professionals" can do a better job.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Assembling a pool table is
not hard, and with a little insight and this manual, any rookie
should be able to do a proficient job in an afternoon.
No matter what your level of pool playing ability is, this book
will intice you into thinking in different terms, or reinforce some
of your own thoughts, that will make you a better player. It's well
illustrated, with practice shot suggestions and game strategies.
Pool Table Maintenance and Repair is the most comprehensive source
of information concerning pool and billiard table maintenance,
installation, re-covering, cushion replacement, and many other
repairs. The book is a handy, concise, and informative pool and
billiard guidebook. It is expertly organized and chocked full of
maintenance procedures, helpful hints and pertinent illustrations.

This book explains how pool hustlers use sharks to bend and break
the idea of sportsmanship. Their tricks are exposed in detail -
including specific instructions on how to respond. Some of these
sharking tricks are amateur hour only - commonly seen among
bar-bangers and teenage shooters. The sophisticated and slick
tricks are also described. These are all meant to be mental
distractions designed to help you lose games and money. To play
competitive table billiards, it takes more than good pocketing and
positioning skills. It takes a keen awareness of your opponent and
his actions. If he is a hustler, this book gives you the tools to
recognize and stop anything he does.
Most sports use statistics to evaluate skills. For example,
basketball counts free throw attempts versus successes. In the pool
and billiards cue sports, there is no clear system to statistically
evaluate player skills and abilities. This book provides that
objective evaluation system for pool and billiards players. This
book's sole purpose is to provide players with an objective
evaluation system. Every shooter can use their test scores to
determine how good (or bad) they are on a wide range of shooting
and playing skills. There are tests specifically for pool tables
and tests for billiard tables. These are Cue Sports Progressive
Test Groups - designed to determine the player's exact skills in
controlling two balls - the Object Ball (OB) and the Cue Ball (CB).
The book is divided into two levels: Intermediate and Advanced.
Each Test Group starts with an easy shot, followed by more
difficult tests. Each test is shot several times and scored. Each
test score in the group is added up. The scores can be compared to
previous attempts or in competitive challenge shootouts. Included
are instructions on how to use a Referee to setup and track test
results. Referees are very helpful when you want to challenge other
shooters someplace else on the planet, such as another city or
country. This scoring system can be used in several ways: Skills
Measurement - The test groups identify current playing skills with
actual results. The testing process uses multiple attempts that
remove the luck factor and reveal reality. Self-Knowledge - Because
the test groups strip away fuzzy personal assumptions, the player
can make more intelligent table decisions. Personal Training
Program - Test groups with low scores identify what areas must be
improved. A personalized skill development program can be
developed, based on results. Competitive Skills Comparison - Using
these test groups, players can compare their individual skills.
Competitions can occur in person or (with referees),
internationally. This can be done within in a casual competition or
formal tournament environment. There are free Personal and
Tournament PDF log books on the web site. Use these to enter test
scores and save the file as a history of your efforts.
Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the
1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly
expensive. We are republishing many of these classic works in
