    bank instructional shortcoming

    Most instructional miss the mark. " here is the halfway point". That's supposed to be the sweet spot, but its in error. Balls don't come off rails at the same angle as from coming in. It works fine with lasers and mirrors, but balls and rubber don't react the same way. There's deviation...

    What is the rule??

    I need one ball. My opponent needs two. But two balls were pocketed in the side during my inning. So there's only a cue ball on the table. Its still my shot. Do we spot one ball or both? I said one, my opponent said 2.( big surprise) What's the rule?

    Practice.

    I practice every day, or I try to. There are a few different systems I use. One of my favorites is to rack all 15 balls a couple of inches out of a corner pocket. I have ball in hand and hit the pack. If a ball goes I keep shooting. If I miss or scratch , I spot a ball, then try to run out from...

    OK, try this

    We're in a furious match, playing on a Gold Crown IV, you're up 7-6. I just missed and left you a shot. Freeze the one on the short rail 1/2 inch out of my pocket. Freeze the cue ball to the 1 on your side of it so that both balls are frozen to each other and frozen to the rail. Now, freeze...

    I can't be the only one...

    I'm going way out on a limb here. I've had debates, some heated, about my theory on banking a ball one rail. I look at the object ball. If the shadow under the object ball is on the right I use right spin. I aim for the perfect 1/2 ball hit. For some reason, the balls go straight in like...

    new member saying hello

    I've played one pocket for over 40 years. A friend of mine says " It's the only game that matters." And he's right. Anyone can put a ball in a hole. Or follow rotation. Me? I need more. The best shots I've ever pulled off and the best shots ever played against me have been during a game of one...
