THE YOGA OF POOL
by Paul Rodney Turner, inventor of the Billiard Aim Trainer
The YOGA of POOL – Secrets to becoming a Champion in Billiards and in Life : This 120 page book written by a former monk and inventor of the world’s best training tool (The Billiard Aim Trainer BAT), Paul Rodney Turner, provides the essential ingredients of what makes a great billiards player. The chapters are concise and digestible and not filled with unnecessary fluff.
The idea behind the book was to give you an easy-to-understand roadmap to success, in the form of short essays describing key elements of the game. One glaring omission from many books on billiards is a lack of information on the mental side of the game, including visualization, and how to practically incorporate proven techniques of visualization and mind management into your game.
The YOGA of POOL is more than an instructional treatise on the fundamentals of billiards, but includes techniques and tools for self-improvement. Drawing from the ancient wisdom of the Vedas, Turner successfully guides the reader in releasing their highest potential as a billiards player and in dealing with the challenges of life.
The Story Behind the Book
Paul started playing pool in 1975 at the age of 12 on a 7-foot particleboard pool table in his family’s garage. Fascinated by the art and geometry of billiards, Paul studied the books of legendary snooker and billiard greats, Joe Davis, Walter Lindrum and Eddie Charlton. Soon after he became a fan of a new BBC series called Pot Black featuring a new breed of snooker professionals like Steve Davis and Jimmy White.

“As I read through The YOGA of POOL I found myself nodding — not sleeping nodding, but nodding in agreement. I kept finding myself saying “yes, yes, yes”. And then I found myself saying, “damn, I wish I’d had this book when I first started playing (25 yrs ago)”. What a path to be on! Read this book; follow as much of the path as you can, and I am sure you will look back having less regrets, more joy, and will have made much more progress.” – Joe Tucker
