"If you want to excel at straight pool, this is a must-have resource. The wealth of illustrations, examples, videos, and insight will help you master the game that will teach you so much about pool."
Dr. Dave Alciatore, PBIA Advanced Instructor, pool author, YouTuber

Samm Diep, 4-time national billiard champion, professional instructor
“This book is impressive in detail and knowledge. It is one of the first books I found that is "not" for beginners. It teaches you the mental side of the game."
"I have known Bob for several years ... I have attended his group classes and taken private lessons from him. His ability to speak clearly and instill confidence in his students comes through in this book. I'm convinced that Bob believes he can teach you (or even me) how to run 100 balls."
"It’s all about putting together the pieces step-by-step. This is going to elevate my game! Very pleased thanks Bob."

"This is unbelievable what Bob Keller put together and I think it is the best thing on Straight Pool I've ever seen."
John Schmidt, Mr. 820
“Great Training Tool! There was a lot of work that went into this package, and it shows!”
“Thank you for creating such a fine course. I appreciate the main message of the course: that principles do exist to analyze a rack of straight pool. It was as if a light was turned on in a dark room for me. I was completely unaware. I now see how to acquire a “thinking edge” over my opponents. This one idea has made me eager to learn and practice. Thank you for giving me something to be enthusiastic about for the remainder of my life.”
“I'm watching how to do it right portions of the series and I'm dying to get to a table tomorrow...GREAT PROGRAM.”
“But so far, I have to say this is groundbreaking straight pool instruction, and I wanted to thank you for putting it together. I’m still trying to break old habits and incorporate these. But when it works, my racks feel easier and more controlled. Thank you again for the content. It’s wonderful.”
