The Flight of the Cue Ball

Side Spin Allowances

This book is the culmination of the Aiming Techniques in the Acquiring Excellence in Pool Series completely describing the use of Side Spin in Pool Shots. To accomplish this involved a reverse engineering of the process. This led to the development of a easily applied formula for figuring allowance amounts that are adjustable and accurate for different cue types, by distance and stroke selection. These decisions are made during the Pre shot routine so you understand and can feel what you are out to do on the table. Once those decisions are made the quick formula is applied and with confidence you will apply the formula and learn the limitations of your stroke. All of this information is easy enough to learn that anyone can understand it. It will enable the Player to get in touch with the Pool Player Instincts that we all have. Since the technique is learnable you will know exactly how you do everything you do and you will be able to repeat your successes. Included is an in depth education about Front Hand, Back Hand and Regular Applied English. Your stroke will change as you grow as a Player and "feel" will enter your game as I doubt you will be able to stop it. Now you will be able to understand and control it much better with practice. This is everything you ever wanted to achieve as a player and all of my techniques will assist other ways that you have learned to aim. If you are a serious player or if you just love the game you should not be without the books in this series. I have poured my heart and soul into the techniques in the Acquiring Excellence in Pool Series and I trust you will enjoy it as much as I have. Hit them well and teach someone else how to play. You are the future of Pool.

This book is the first book of The Acquiring Excellence in Pool series and covers Center Ball Aiming Technique in a way that is unique, clearly visually descriptive, easy to learn and is highly accurate leading to excellence. Immediately afterwards he continued the study and described the process of learning to play shots with Side Spin by reverse engineering the process. This book is his aiming technique and intended to be a sample of the kind of work that he writes. The technique is clearly descriptive, easy to learn and master leading to the next book in the series The Flight of the Cue Ball where he describes in easily learnable detail, the knowledge that a player needs to know in order to play the shots using Side Spin by your cue type, distance and stroke pressure. This leads the player to being able to control his cue ball with a great degree of success while he progresses on his pathway to Excellence in the Game of Pool.
