This 204 page spiral-bound book outlines and explains the TOP 100 safeties used by TOP professionals today. So many players can kick and jump well today that sloppy, loose safeties no longer guarantee a return to the table. You can counter this by knowing more safeties and performing them at a higher level. Safeties are also sensitive to small changes in hit, speed, english and the exact positions of the balls. A shot may be perfect in one configuration and off if one ball is moved less than an inch. This book explains the limits, general layout, strategic aspects, and high-end secrets of each shot. All you have to do is practice them until you can confidently execute them. Each safety is depicted in a nine-ball situation, but can be used in all pool games. RETAIL $34.95 -BEBOB SPECIAL - $29.95
