Pool is one of America's favourite pastimes, and it's a game everyone can play. In "Essential Pool", hall-of-fame Babe Cranfield takes the mystery out of playing well, providing encouraging, easy-to-follow instruction in everything from the basics to "playing position" for your next shot to developing a winning attitude. Topics covered include: selecting equipment; perfecting your aim, using Babe's "arrow" tool; the major games and their rules; practice techniques and strategy; and manipulating the cue ball using English, draw and follow.
