300 Solutions and Strategies from the Four Heavenly Kings of 3-Cushion

In 3-cushion billiards, there is something called a system.
By calculating with a formula and considering several conditions, you can find out the direction of the ball you should hit and the target point.
Some people who are new to billiards blindly believe in the system.
The belief is that if you hit the balls as the system tells you, you can solve all the problems that arise on the billiards table.


As time goes by, they too will soon realize it.
That there are moments when the system's calculations don't work and even common solutions become ineffective.
In other words, billiards always brings infinite possibilities and variables at the same time.
This presents a challenge while playing the game of billiards, and as billiards skills improve, people need a way to overcome this challenge.


Gain the experience and know-how of world champions.
Here's how to score and win

What methods should people who are in a stagnant state or seeking rapid progress find?
Fortunately, world champions and experts have already prepared solutions to overcome various situations.
Let's open the 『Billiards 3-Cushion 300 Breakthrough Textbook』.
This book is a collection of solutions to the Nangoo puzzle, which summarizes the practical solutions and principles of 3-cushion champions.


The author has included in this book numerous solutions that he has personally created as well as those he has personally experienced in the field.
It introduces the solutions used in real-life by the so-called Four Heavenly Kings: Bromdahl, Kudron, Sanchez, and Jaspers, and also presents the solutions of world champions such as Semi Seyginer and Eddie Mux, with detailed illustrations and clear explanations.


This book explains about 300 patterns, and for each pattern, it shows the angle of the target and cue, the speed and penetration required for the stroke, and the exact coordinates of the cue ball using easy-to-understand symbols and pictures.
It helps you understand the principles of the solution because it explains the detailed feel and precise hitting point of the shot well, and introduces another related pattern under each pattern picture.

The author says that you have to keep scoring, strategy, and positional play in mind and find a way to combine these three well.
The goal should always be considered first, because there is little point in trying to place the ball in a way that would disrupt the opponent's play, and the ball is usually not placed in that way by the player's own will.


The solutions presented in the book clearly demonstrate the author's billiards philosophy.
It is a proper combination of strategy and positional play that prioritizes scoring while also exploiting the opponent's weaknesses.
If you play according to the book's solution, your shots will always be big balls, and even if you miss the shot, it will be an exquisite strategy that takes away your opponent's opportunity.

Score in any situation!
Meet the champion's secrets with detailed pictures and explanations

Torbjörn Bromdal, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, said:
Billiards is a sport of memory.
He said that you have to remember the feeling, remember the moment of success, remember the stable posture and concentration when you scored.
Other billiards experts also emphasize memory.
In addition to having the posture and concentration to win, just like memorizing the records of a game of Go, you must also be able to remember and utilize many solutions in billiards to win the game.
This is a point emphasized in almost all billiards books, and it also means that there are areas in the world of billiards that cannot be filled with systems alone.
If you want to win at billiards, a game with nearly infinite variables and possibilities, a system alone won't be enough.
You must master the art of billiards by learning and testing the solutions that contain the experience and know-how of experts.


"Billiards 3-Cushion 300 Breakthrough Textbook" is a book that compiles 300 solutions demonstrated in real-life matches by world champions and other top-level players, and will help you dramatically improve your billiards skills.
Some people may look at the tactics and methods presented in this book with skepticism.
Each time, the author recommends trying all solutions.
They say that if you practice like that, your range of thoughts will broaden and deepen.
Let's practice the solutions this book provides and understand the principles.
You can learn the solutions, refined with exceptional insight and meticulous technique by the world's best billiards players, with relative ease.
