Steve Ilg Rocks! 5 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

This book is phenomenal.
I really love Steve's focus on functional strength, as opposed to
strength for strengths sake.
Ilg combines Yoga, Strength, Cardio, Meditation and Nutrition.

The workouts are challenging and extremely effective, they will transform your body (and mind) if you follow through. Steve's encouragements all throughout the book are very helpful/motivating.

Editorial Review:

Now in paperback, the groundbreaking system that combines yoga and the gym, from one of the country's most highly sought after professional trainers.

Looking for a personal fitness prescription for a strong, lean body and a calmer, focused mind? Whereas other training methods tend to focus on either bodybuilding or yoga, the revolutionary approach developed by Steve Ilg emphasizes interconnectedness and brings results that simply can't be achieved any other way.

Total Body Transformation gives readers -- hardcore athletes and novices alike -- the secret to having it all: strength from lifting weights; flexibility from yoga; a lean body from the right nutrition and cardio; and all the benefits that come from mindfulness, meditation, and true physical and emotional well-being.

Some fine shots 4 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Very enjoyable read. Well-written, moves along, lots of good humor mixed with a longing for the glory days of the great pool rooms and the legendary hustlers, some of whom make appearances here.
Certainly one of the great pool books but not as amusing as Fat's autobiography, which is so funny it's in a league of its own.
Still, McCumber has some great moments, and this is well worth the time if you've ever thought you knew how to shoot some pool.

Editorial Review:

At the age of 17, David McCumber was stricken with "road fever" that irresistible call to the itinerant life of a professional gambler. Twenty-two years later, he got the chance to follow that dream-not as a player but as the "stakehorse" (financial backer) for Tony Annigoni, a non-smoking, macrobiotic-eating "Renaissance Pool Hustler," student of Eastern religion, and master of the pure green-felt poetry of the dead stroke." With $27,000 in David's pocket they took off together on an astonishing four-month odyssey across America-traveling from seedy, hole-in-the-wall billiard parlors to high-class snooker rooms to high-tension pro tourneys, from Seattle to Miami and back again-exploring a shady twilight subculture and uniquely American mythos, in search of serious money, local glory...and the perfect hustle.

Super-Excellent, Awesome Book for Trick Shots! 5 out of 5 stars.
11 of 11 people found this review helpful.

This book covers the classics, such as the football shot, butterfly shot, machine gun shot, just showin' off, etc, plus variations, (i.e. masse machine gun shot) lesser known shots, and shots by the author. Some require almost no skill at all, while making others could keep pros happy all day.
Every shot has information about its history, how to do it, and sometimes even suggestions on what to say before you attempt it, plus a clear yet detailed digram of the setup and shot.
Almost any book will tell you how to do a few, common trick shots, but this one has them all.

Byrne's Delivers 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

Once again Byrne delivers concise info in an easy understandable manner. I currently own several of his books and videos; all of which are helpful. Some of his info may be found in earlier writings, but that's the case with many tomes in this area. It's no surprise he was inducted into the BCA Hall of Fame for his wonderful contributions to this sport via his writings/videos.

Editorial Review:

More than three hundred secrets and showstoppers, explained and diagrammed by a master player. “The most complete book on the subject I have ever come across. I especially like the historical notes”(Jimmy Caras, four-time World Champion). Diagrams, photographs, and line drawings.
