The 99 Critical Shots in Pool

Ray "Cool Cat" Martin, former Pool Champion of the World, shares his secrets for playing winner's pool. Not one player in one hundred can sink five, six, or seven balls without a miss-and yet it is easily within the power of all players. They simply do not know how to "cut" balls, "throw" balls, use English, "draw" balls, set "key" balls, and get "frozen" balls off a cushion. Nor do they understand the "double kiss," "semi-masse shots," "cushion first" shots, or "cheat-the-pocket" shots. The amazing thing is that using Martin's system, many of these shots can be performed with almost no practice at all!
