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

Book Review: A Pool Players Pocket Guide...
Summary: 5 Stars

This small, but powerful book is essential for the player who wants to raise their game and move on to the next level. I try and play pool everyday. I can make shots, no problem. Once you conquer the fundamentals and basics it's time to move on and extend your skills: your mental skills.

Your mentality is the other essential half to playing pool. "Pleasures of Small Motions" completes this element. This book deconstructs the psychological components in different situations (fun vs competition play). Once I read this book I noticed a major difference in my game; I was more confident, and in effect, I made balls cleaner and `set up' was a breeze. "Pleasures of Small Motions" helps you harness your emotions, and if needed, teaches you to unleash them (physically or not).

All in all, this book is perfect for your collection, or perhaps the beginning of one.
