Foreword by Jennifer Barretta, former world number one. Supported by pool legends Dr. Dave Alciatore and Tom "Dr. Cue" Rossman. Featuring the methods of Thorsten Hohmann, Mark Finkelstein, Larry Nicholson, Bob Jewett, Michael Yednak and Zion Zvi. Most pool players practice the stroke and ignore the mind. This book fixes that. "Pool: The Mental Game Is 80%" is a practical workbook on nerve, focus, confidence and recovery for players of every level, from the weekend league shooter to the tournament regular. Across four acts you will learn how pressure actually works, how to build a pre-shot routine that holds up in the last rack, how to recover after a bad miss, and how to train under pressure on purpose instead of hoping for the best. You will find drills for the break, the bridge, safety play and the long game, plus a personality-based training framework that matches the way you think to the way you should practice. Every chapter ends with a dare and a "Your Turn" page, so you can record what you learn and track your own progress. Your skill alone is not enough.
