Product Review
About the highest praise you can offer a pool instructional book is that it makes you feel like playing. Henning, one of America s better-known teachers (his first effort, The Pro Book, is in its sixth printing, and has been translated into two languages), has created a piece wherein any given page can do that. Of his book s 338 pages, Henning devotes the first 109 to an advanced look at fundamentals, and while pool s basics have been covered and covered and covered elsewhere, you ll appreciate his insights into them; almost all of them are new. (He even has an entire chapter on staying down.) My favorite sections of The Advanced Pro Book, however, are sections 4 and 5, which deal almost exclusively with the mental game. How many players have gone from intermediate to advanced when some savvy teacher told them, Let your stroke out ? Are you familiar with that phrase? Henning offers an entire chapter on it. His four pages on focus are sheer genius. Henning s diagrammed shots are also superb, including the advice he offers within them. The Advanced Pro Book is highly, highly recommended. --Billiard Digest (2008)
