At the pool hall the other day I was telling a guy who was new to One Pocket that in OP only, not in other games, when shooting from the kitchen, an object ball had to be all the way over the line in order to shoot at it. That is, in all other games you use "base of ball" over the line but in OP you use "back of ball" over the line. This is the way I was taught and have played it for many years without a challenge but the other day a new-to-OP straight pool player said it should be "base of ball."
The room owner who is also a straight pool player agreed with him saying that the only place where they played "back of ball" was at DCC.
I believe "back of ball" is a far better way to go because it would eliminate a lot of arguments. It is much easier to see on a close call especially when the stakes are high as they often are in OP.
What say you?
