Pat Snooker offers a number of modular exercises that help players develop their individual snooker skills and monitor their progress continuously. Players now have the opportunity to diagnose their own performance.
The difficulty of the exercises is increased gradually, creating a linear structure for individual practice. Practice exercises, performance monitoring and results control are solid foundations for improvement and enjoyable practice. Performance can be monitored either by taking the relevant tests for each individual level (symbolized by the colours of the snooker balls) or by comparing results with other players on the internet platform.
PAT Snooker (PAT = Playing Ability Test) is a system to test your snooker skills that lets you compare your own performance against that of other players all over the world. You can assess your own performance and skills.
This volume explains the white, red, yellow and green levels. Expert advice provided by the author helps you carry out the exercises.

The author: Thomas Hein was born in 1966 and has been playing active billiards for more than 25 years. He is a 14-time German Champion at different billiards variants. His website www.snookermania.de has been a hub of the snooker world since 1999. Active and future snooker players use it as a platform to obtain all relevant information on snooker in Germany. Together with Rolf Kalb, Eurosport's voice of snooker in Germany, he published his first book in 2006, a collection of his extensive experience, both as a player and a coach. As the German national snooker coach, Thomas Hein has promoted the structure of this relatively new variant of billiards for many years, showing both commitment and enthusiasm. In 2007, the German national team became the European Team Champion for the first time. Together with Rolf Kalb, he has acted as snooker broadcast commentator, experiencing the fascination of snooker in Germany at close range. This is what motivated him to found the first German Snooker Academy in Oberhausen in 2005. In 2004, he initiated an event called Snooker HolidaysA" which has gained undreamt- of popularity ever since. Initially, PAT Snooker was designed as an ability test for top players, but it has been tested successfully in amateur sports. The invariably positive feedback caused Thomas Hein to bring the concept to perfection in 2006 and to render it accessible to the continuously growing snooker world.
