This is the companion book to the 5-hour Pattern Play videos collection. Everything you love about this best-selling instructional video is now in book form! This outstanding book covers the fundamentals of pattern play all the way to advanced pattern play for 8-Ball and 9-Ball.
All of the more popular kicking systems are described in detail! For many players, learning diamond systems is a confusing process- and we all know that confusion in learning can sometimes result in a player giving up. P.K.F. makes learning the diamond systems fun, with actual layouts from 8-Ball and 9-Ball games! In no time at all you'll be kicking your way out of safeties and winning more games!
Learning how to play great pool starts with strong fundamentals. P.K.F. covers stance, approach, aiming and drills for perfecting your stroke. Once you have a solid stroke you need to learn the fundamentals of cue ball control. You'll learn everything from tangent lines, to sliding the cue ball, side-spin, rolling cue balls, and much more. Every aspect of Tor Lowry's '14 Days - The Great Pool Experiment' training is covered in this book- including advanced full-table pattern play!
And, as a bonus, P.K.F. contains a few of the diamond systems featured in the Zero-X video "Diamond Systems." This will be exciting for all the league and tournament players who've urged Tor to create a kicking system specifically for the Professional Blue Series Diamond Pool Tables!
This book is jam-packed with all the information you need to reach your goals!
