About this title

Synopsis

Break Shot Patterns focuses on position and pattern play for the last four balls of a rack of Straight Pool - the phase where most players have the most trouble. Capelle analyzes 110 patterns that were played by top pros. The book contains several diagrams for each example, and students are guided through the runout, shot-by-shot. The book also includes a thorough course on the art of closing in the introduction that prepares the reader for the patterns that follow. Some of the biggest names in straight pool are featured in the book, including Thorsten Hohmann, John Schmidt, Mike Siegel, Jim Rempe, Dallas West, Nick Varner, Mika Immonen, and Ralf Souquet.
