Play Your Best Nine Ball is the most comprehensive book on the game ever published. This 480-page book provides you with 470 illustrations that make it easy to learn the game's shots and strategies.... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book is similar to "Play Your Best Pool" and has some overlapping content, but focuses on 9-ball. Exhaustively thorough for the true enthusiast of the game.
Phil Capelle's books on 8-ball, 9-ball and Straight Pool
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
In reading Phil Capelle's series of books on 8-ball, 9-ball and Straight Pool, I think Phil's books are among the most advanced and well-written books that I've seen on improving one's strategy and tactics in playing pool.
A very thorough examination of nine ball
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Phil Capelle has done a great justice for those who want to take their 9-ball game to the next level. He hasn't cut any corners in this definitive work. He covers all the angles (pun intended): english, throw, pattern play, safeties, kicking, competition strategy, realistic self-assessment, practice routines, you name it. What I find remarkable about this book is the completeness in which all of the subjects are covered. As a stickler when it comes to reading, my only complaint would be the odd typo here and there. Certainly not enough to distract from the rich and very useful material, however. I have read at least fifteen books on pool and none comes close to "Play Your Best Nine Ball." Very well done, Mr. Capelle!
Inside the mind of a Pool Master!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Phil Capelle takes you inside the mind of a Pool Master as he discloses anything and everything you need to know to excell at 9-Ball. Why he even tells you how to beat players of all levels (in his chapter on strategy) without even having to improve your skills one iota, simply by playing a smarter game. But make no mistake about it, Capelle covers the toughest aspects of the game like no other book, in big chapters on position play, pattern play, kicking, safety play and so much more. If you seriously want to take your game to a new level, (and the sky's the limit) Then this is the book. Bravo Phil!
