Pleasures of Small Motions: Mastering the Mental Game of Pocket Billiards

by: Bob Fancher Ph.D., Robert T Fancher
I thought this book was fantastic and I don't even play pool. My game is table shuffleboard but "Pleasures of Small Motions" applies to just about any competitive sport. The author presents a convincing argument why players who only play to win, will never be winners. The trick is in the "pleasure of small motions". This book not only improved my game, it has given me a new attitude towards the game as well as the competition. If you play shuffleboard, pool, or any other game, this book is an absolute must.
