Back cover:
In this book, Irving Crace, distinguished three-time world pocket billiards champion and George Sullivan, New York sportswriter, present the fundamentals in a way that even the youngest enthusiast will be able to understand and to use. "Learn the game the right way from the very beginning," say the authors. "It will save a lot of frustrations later on."
In text, photographs, and diagrams, here is the right way to play pocket billiards. Every facet of the game is covered: the cue stick and how to hold it, sight along it, and shoot with it; how to strike the cue ball properly; when and why to use chalk and rosin; how and when to use a mechanical bridge; the correct stance and its relation to your stroke; draw shots; how to stop the cue ball; and much, much more.
The authors give special attention to playing for position. They explain the strategy of positioning your ball for a clean shot which can lead to a run that clears the table. Irving Crane, as the master of position play, was the first man to run over 330 balls without a miss. Here he describes how he did it.
In addition to basic instruction, this book outlines pocket billiard rules and ways to play other billiard games.
