If you think (or want to think) you are an "A" player, this book will either prove you are as good as you think – or demonstrate that you need to work harder. These series of layouts require excellent pocketing skills – and strong positioning abilities.

For shooters who are seriously striving to reach that level, this book is a critical part of your training regimen. The sequence of these layouts either confirms your ability, or demonstrates a weakness to be fixed. Every layout requires that you make the ball - then get into position for the second ball.

Every layout shows the positions of the cue ball, 1 ball, and 2 ball. You only need to pocket the one ball and then the two ball - very simple and easy to understand. But, these are not ordinary problems, every starting position for the cue ball and 1 ball was a problem facing a professional player in national and international competitions.

Study this material in two steps. In the comfort of your home, review the layout, and carefully consider your options. How can you solve the problem? What speed and spin is needed? Are there multiple solutions? Write down your ideas. Then, take this to the practice table, and see if your solutions are possible. Learn from your failures and make adjustments.

And, once you learn how, repeat several times. It is very important to consistently complete the setup.

This book will challenge your abilities, a source of many frustrations, and the joyful experiences of successful accomplishments.

Enjoy the challenge and the satisfaction of success!
