In my youth, we allowed girls who were stuck on the rail to move the cue ball one hand span. Haven't thought about that for decades. Don't think it will fly at the Derby...

?? Don't think I've ever heard of something like this, either tournament play or for money. The basic rules would apply, I think.

Probably one of the strongest spots anyone can think of.

I used to play a few guys 9 ball giving up a hand span but in One Pocket the player has to be REALLY LAME to get that spot. There is nowhere on the table where you can hook the guy! Forget it! Find another handicap for that sucker.

I gave up that spot a couple of times and never again. It's a huge spot against a fair player in one hole. Even in nine ball he has to be pretty lame not to win with that spot.
I would rather give up odds on the money per game, which is still not a good thing to do. But odds on the money is not so bad if done in a race or ahead match.

He probably banked the 1 staight back toward his hole, while stunning the CB over to the opposite side rail. He might have even froze up behind the 15, or sucked it down into the 2-3 balls cluster.
[I'm presuming that Martinez' hole is by the CB]

2-rail kick at the left side of the 15.
He hits that 14-ball next to the 7 with speed and stuns the cueball between 15 and 3 to short rail
But the beauty, dont know if it was intentional, made me look at setup twice again, is that that first ball through thick contact on the seven and secondary contact on ball above makes it all the way back to martinez pocket.
Wouldn't have guessed that

I like the 12-15.
CB Inside center, off the bottom of the stack to the side rail.
12 goes up with running english, more than likely landing in your ballpark.
15 banks into the 2 and the 15 and 3 provide cover for the 2.
Just don't give up the 5 and you're out of the break.
