Product Description:
DALY"S BILLIARD BOOK begins with a thorough explanation of the fundamentals upon which Daly's system is built, including proper cueing angles for draws, follows, and plain caroms, varying angle of reflection, the effect of drag, putting proper spin on the cue ball, and all aspects of the difficult masse shots. Part Two continues with a discussion of the basic principle of position play by defining the good position shot. Then, chapter by chapter, Daly explains in word and diagram his 12 elementary principles of position play., including discussions of the comparative virtues of long and short drives, position of balls before and after play, rail shots, and open-table shots. Part Three discusses advanced position play, the techniques of which will make a good player an excellent player.
