Summary: The Pool Doctor Is Making House Calls
Review: I really enjoyed Precision Pool, but I loved The Pool Player's Edge! While the first book gave its readers gems and tips in acquiring fundamentals and advanced skills, Kanov and Stauch provide an opportunity to troubleshoot and apply those skills in their latest book. The first section gives the reader tools to diagnose and fix problems in fundamentals, which everybody needs. I don't care who you are, when you are having trouble with your game, chances are it's your fundamentals that need tweaking. The "Quick Fixes" work great to get you back on track. But the real joy of this book is in the last two sections on 8-ball and 9-ball. The sections break each game into Phases - Opening Game, Middle Game and End Game that provide the reader with winning strategies and key shots to employ those strategies.

The book is filled with great diagrams, as usual, and further uses some great action photos of real pros to illustrate the concepts provided in the text. It is a real thinking-man's book and I enjoyed it thoroughly.
