It is so unusual that you have to replay the shot in your memory to understand what happened. This book is a collection of those shots that have occurred during international competitions. For each shot, there are two table layouts. The first is the ball positions on the table. The second is how the pro player made the point. There are two ways you can use these examples. First - as a mental exercise. Study the ball layout and the ball paths to determine how the shot was played. Second - as a table exercise. Set the balls up in the positions. Try to duplicate the shot. It may take only a few attempts, or a lot before you learn how to consistently score the point. You will do a lot of experimentation with different speeds and spins. The result will be a better understanding on how to play similar shots during your competitions. Enjoy the learning process and good luck!!
