Product Description
From Library Journal
Expanding on his earlier work Mastering Pool (Contemporary Bks., 1977, o.p.), Fels has produced a guide for the player who wishes to advance beyond the basics. He concentrates here on the mental aspects of the game. His book's major sections cover straight pool, eight-ball, and nine-ball, the three major pool variations that Fels claims best illustrate his approach to the game. Within each section, he describes the major differences between the variant and other pool games, then gives tips on strategy and tactics that can improve a player's game. More than 100 diagrams help illustrate the text. This is a good addition to libraries needing something other than basic texts on an increasingly popular game.?Terry Madden, Boise State Univ. Lib., Id.

Expert Straight pool insights,
By A Customer
This review is from: Advanced Pool (Paperback)
This book offers SUPERB insights into crossing 1 or 2 rack limits to breaks in straight pool. From ambitious novice to excellent player, you can learn a LOT by scanning a few pages. Straight pool, more than 8 or 9 ball, is a mental game and Fels does a marvellous and thorough job of explaining it.

Mr. Fels is subtle but profound.,
By Cris Biron (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Advanced Pool (Paperback)
I'm your regular pool player aficionado. I've been playing the game for a few years now and I'm still mesmerized by the tremendous simplicity of its complexity. How difficult can be using a stick to hit a ball that in turn will hit a second ball and drive it to a pocket? Yet, when you see a good pool player doing just that, time after time, game after game, you might be inspired to wonder how far you can progress in this fascinating game.After reading just a few pages of Mr. Fels' book, Advance Pool: Techniques and Strategies for Mastering the Game, I went to my favorite pool hall and applied a few of his suggestions and advice. To my astonishment, I saw myself pocketing balls more often and with much more cue-ball control. Of course, when you read: "The softest possible hit that will accomplish the various objectives of any given pool shot is the best possible hit", you know you have to pay attention. Mr. Fels' guidance is subtle but profound, just like the game of pool. No matter how skilful you are at billiards, I believe in this book you will find something that'll make your game better and, perhaps more important, much more enjoyable.
