Reasons to Buy the CD-ROM for:

with:

Over 110 narrated digital video clips

Over 210 super-slow-motion video clips
Over 50 technical proofs of pool principles

PC and MAC compatible

Useful Resources: The CD-ROM contains all of the resources referenced in the book including:
- Cross-referenced video clips that help illustrate concepts in the book. Visual clipart markers throughout the book indicate where clips are available to reinforce the topics being described. The numerous video clips are valuable because:
  - They are easily accessible with the click of a mouse for quick viewing while you are reading or practicing.
  - They are closely tied to the content in the book to help reinforce your learning.
  - Seeing something in action is much better than just reading something with still illustrations.
- Technical proofs that provide technical background and mathematical formulas to support many of the principles in this book. This information may not be of interest to non-technical readers, but those of you with engineering or physics backgrounds (i.e., the nerds and geeks out there) might enjoy it.
The CD-ROM is a standalone product (i.e., the book is not required), but it also supplements the book.

All inclusive: In addition to containing all of the "Normal Video" (NV) clips referenced in the book, the CD-ROM contains all of the "High-Speed Video" (HSV) clips and all of the "Technical Proofs" (TP) referenced. The CD-ROM also includes many more additional resources (NV A.*, HSV A.*, and TP A.*), beyond what the book presents. The DVD includes only the NV clips referenced in the book and a small portion of the HSV clips (the ones that directly support the "normal video" clips), and none of the TP files appear on the DVD. However, the DVD has its own advantages (see reasons to buy the DVD).

Numerous examples for practice: The clips provide examples that you can use for practice drills.

Portable: If you have a laptop computer, you can take the CD-ROM with you and play the clips at the pool table when you practice.Interactive: You can access and repeat individual clips very easily with the click of a mouse.

No Internet connection, no problem: Unlike with the book website, you do not need to be online to use the CD-ROM.

No waiting: The video clips load faster from the CD-ROM than they do via the book website, especially if you have a slow modem connection.

Easy to use: The CD-ROM software, which uses a browser interface, runs automatically when you insert the CD into your computer. See instructions for using the CD.

Permanent: If the book website ever gets changed or removed, you will still have access to all of the NV, HSV, and TP resources.

Note - a high-speed video DVD is also available.
