Excerpt from Modern Billiards
Apart from its inviting to moderate and wholesome exer cise, billiards, as popularly played, is pre-eminently a mental pastime. Nearly all its exponents Of approved skill, What ever were the drawbacks Of their youth, are intellectually quick and This is due in some measure to the ready mathematical requirements Of the play as a routine, but in a much greater degree to its taxing the eye, stimulating the fancy, and disciplining the mind by imposing watchfulness, invention, and analysis. Slowness is costly, and hence, as an early habit, an eager alertness Of Vision, alacrity Of step, and promptitude Of decision. Regarding billiards as' a spectacle, its physical requisites to perfection are keen Sight, level head and steady hand; but they are by no means essential to enjoyment Of it as a leisure-hour diversion en amateur. In this sense, its charm lies altogether in participation, which is all the more agree able and healthful because never needing to be exhausting. Caroming methods are still changing. Execution is again growing less fantastic and more practical. Systemization is becoming more and more dominant. In consequence, certain gathering shots, depicting instructive possibilities rather than downright needs, and diagrammed as still proper to teach when the earlier edition Of this book was issued, have no place in the present volume.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. In the world of billiards, mental agility is as important as the ability to execute a clean shot. This book details the historical and strategic development of billiards as a sophisticated game of calculation, finesse, and athleticism. With the advent of the third and fourth ball in the early decades of the 19th century, billiards became less a game of brute force and more one of strategy and skill, mirroring the modern evolution of warfare. The author traces this evolution, discussing the contributions of key players and innovators whose innovations, such as the twist, draw, and massà , shifted gameplay strategy. He goes on to describe the meticulous artistry of shot selection, and a player's need to account for multiple variables such as ball and table geometry, the weight of cue and ball, and the array of potential angles of deflection. This book is a testament to the enduring appeal of a game that continues to challenge and fascinate.
