Book Review: "Cool cat" needs some time in Pool school
Summary: 3 Stars
Ray martins book is one of the more valuable pool instruction books out there. the shots he describes will work in the situations that are described but Ray's explanation of why they work are lacking in pool science. Ray is off not as badly as Minnesota fats book on pool( about as good as his cues and tables) but off by a difference of degree. Ray for instance thinks english affects the path of a ball during aiming. Bob Byrne in his excellent instruction books gets it right in that the path of the ball is not affected by side spin until it hits a cushion but may be affected by "squirt" ( a whipping action of the cue deflecting off the ball causing an untrue line) Rays "school of misspent youth" wisdom is valuable but Robert Byrn's dead on science helps you correctly apply principles of pool mechanics when your stuck in an awkward situation that is not diagramed in any book. i recommend Robert Byrnes "Complete book of pool shots" as a companion book to this one. There are nuggets of knowledge in "99 critical shots" and it will improve your game. Byrnes book will help you master it .
