This video is an exercise in total One Pocket offense. The idea is to develop your skills at running numerous balls into a single predetermined pocket. The skills include all aspects of pocketing skills, cue ball control, pattern play, concentration, and imagination. Give it a try. I think you will find it educational, interesting, rewarding, and at times most definitely frustration as hell. Ch...

With a free break and ball in hand to begin the run I had chosen the pocket to your lower left to run as many balls as possible. Any ball falling into any of the other five pockets gets respotted at the end of the run should I run all the balls off the table. Enjoy, I certainly did.

Came to ask what size pockets your table has, but I saw another comment with the answer. What size pockets do you think are best for one pocket? And do you think there should be any difference between money games versus tournament play tables? How about any thoughts on diamond versus Brunswick? Thanks so much for all of the content! Your page is a treasure trove for anyone really trying to learn the game 🙏🏽💚✌🏽
these aren't break shots. I thought you meant opening break shots
💯
Nice!!
I guessed the first method, but then I am a 3C billiard player
So bottom left or bottom right?
Always inside english. Watch the spin on the cue ball. It will tell you all you need to know about the hit. Thank you for watching my videos.
I saw little Al Mason run 15 and out, once… Giving up 15-2 to a guy.. lol.. I’m sure you crossed paths?..
Only if I need both, Tom..
Jacob, try to remember the theme of the lesson, "how to make the back ball." This was not a lesson.in strategy.
Well, fuck...that was , hell idk why u postdd this dumb shit, u cant shoot for shit sirbragsalot.😮😢 pussy boy
Hey old man , i need a couple of balls to mess with you!😉👍
Thx!👍
Hey Tom how would the ball positioning change on a bar box? Or same setup?
Absolutely FANTASTIC TOM! You’re the Man!!! 👏👏👏
I would title this "One Pocket Break-out Shots". I came in needing help with my 1p break. I just cannot find a comfortable one that is consistently good. Most important shot and I fail more often than succeed to get a good break.
The one rail bank in corner. Show how shoot it 3 rails. When both balls are balls with off the rail. The first bank was the frozen on rail? I've made it once.
Amazing banks! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Valuable Material! Thank you!
These shots are genius. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you please share!
Tom do you know of any 2 and 3 rail banking systems for one pocket we can learn from thanks
every time I watch his knowledge I think "wow I suck"
I play one pocket everyday and thought I was pretty good buy after watching this I realize I have a long way to go. Very well done super impressive.
Thanks !!!
I’m still coming back for more insight !!!

Option 2 Carom Bank is far and away the best of the 3. I saw it instantly...Less room for error me thinks. Make 1 ,Carry 1...Learned as a kid in 1 hole. IMO

I learned this from John Brumback's video but he hits it with a slightly elevated cue and hits the cue ball higher almost like a masse shot. The cue ball doesn't draw but kind of crawls sideways. Maybe that's better for bank pool and your way may allow you to hit the shot softer.
5:31 best shot I've ever seen.
I would Love to See You and Tony Chohan or Scott Frost play One Pocket ..Them Guys are So Aggressive Especially Tony Chohan . My Uncle told me that Chicago" Bug's " Rucker and Strawberry was Some of the Best One Pocket Players back in the day ..
Chris, that's not likely to happen these days. I'm 70 years old now and well past my high level playing days. I teach almost exclusively and love it. That said. If you had been around the US Open 1 Pocket Championships in Kalamazoo around the late 80s you could have seen me beat Scott. And if you had happened to be at the DCC in the mid 2Ks you could have watched me beat Tony in one of the later rounds. I got 7th losing to Jose Parica afterwards. I should have won that match but ran out of gas towards the end. Let the new guard take over the reins. I"ll help them do it if they come looking for my help. You too. I'm now offering virtual lessons. Your home to mine.
Mr Tom I'm just curious .. What Kinda pool Cue and Tip do you use and What's the ( mm) of your shaft ? I'm thinking about getting a 11.8 mm carbon fiber shaft but I'm not sure How they play ..
Chris, I have been using the same cue for 24 years. It is a Plain Jane Tad. The shafts have narrowed down from 12.7mm to now about 11.7mm. I just had a new shaft made with a graduated beginning at 12.4 at the edge of the ferrule. The tip is a medium soft kamui. I can't use low deflection shafts. I'm too old school and can't learn that new trick. LOL
Wow ! Nice .. Mr Tom I'm New to One Pocket There's only 2 other Gentlemen at the Pool hall I play at that Play One Pocket ..I live in Nashville ,Tn Not many people play One Pocket here Everybody plans 9 ball .. I was wondering can your Book help New players learn the Game ..I'm Not New to pool ! I play 8ball , 3ball and 7ball , Golf as well on a 9ft table .

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge .In days past players wouldn't do that. Learned a lot from you.I am about to get your book and learn even more! Hope you're doing well
Yes, those were different days back then. I had to learn the old fashion way but I'm happy that I am now "allowed" to share my information with the public. I'll be looking for your order and get a signed copy out to you. Thanks.
Thank you, Tom. I still refer to your book and find it invaluable! Please continue to post videos.
Thank you !
Way to hit them!!
That last one was sick!
Amazing banks pretty dam awesome
Good to see you back, gotta love those hangers.
Please don't stop making videos!!! Especially the real game scenarios ones. I have learned so many deadly move from them. Thank you!
Secrets, man!.. Youre giving away the store!.. lol.. Sit 4 is one of my go tos.. Most of my opponents are dumbfounded by that one.. Great shot..
I do have one question… What’s a professional one pocket player?.. Say a guy like me, who isn’t the greatest player ever, but seems to get the cash all the time… Do I qualify?..
Good question. I suppose some people would say yes. You may think you are, and maybe you are. My loose definition of a professional at any field would greatly be determined by whether this happens to be your main source of income.
@@onepocketagameofcontrolled3646 It was late, I was punchy.. lol.. I think I was making a round about comment on my disdain for tournament one pocket.. Not sure..
Not sure of the angle, but I like choice 2, but I’m trusting the 2nd ball will be pretty close to my hole if I make one, and I’ll get a shot on it… And I’m playing my cue ball to the back rail.. I’ll cut at the spot ball from there, worst case, and have a great shot at getting them all.. Pro chooses 2 as well, and finds the side rail, as you tried to do..
Also, the way you shot it makes me believe it’s possible to get real aggressive here, shoot the 2nd shot with speed and go 3 rails with the cue ball… Probably low on the foot rail ball.. You may sell out a bank or you may get a sweet double kiss if one of the balls doesn’t go in clean.. There are pros who would shoot that needing them all.. I might shoot it if it laid real nice..
So, I’m side betting on a match between JJ and Cliff, back in the day.. And I’m betting with the biggest sucker in the pool hall, always has dough, and I didn’t post.. I just wanted to break the seal and gamble with the guy.. Well, he gets 15-2 from Al Mason and goes broke while JJ and Cliff are playing, and Al went 15 and out the final game.. It was so damn impressive, I didn’t even care when I got stiffed when JJ beat Cliff… Again!.. lol..
JJ is a great player and I've had the pleasure of doing some commentary with him in the past few months and let me tell you something you must already be aware of, JJ is one of the nicest guys out there and he really knows his stuff. I fully expect to be doing a lot more commentary with JJ and others in the near future. Keep a look out for it!
@@onepocketagameofcontrolled3646 He’s alright… He’s better than the other 4 (siblings).. lol.. Just kidding, he’s been my best friend my whole life.. I am interested in your book, how do I get it?..

I’m interested in your book, but I’m a extremely knowledgeable hole player… Know and shot many of these shots.. I’m interested in your theory about risk/reward, score, and in-depth theory about proper shot selection according to those factors.. My brother Jeremy, and I, have discussed this subject for years.. Does your book delve into that area?..
Absolutely Jacob.! My book is all about the theory behind risk vs reward.. In addition, the book takes into consideration each reader's level of play, how to address those situations where that players level verses their opponents level may vary from weaker to stronger then themselves. The book also helps players identify just where they need the greatest work to improve their games. I know you will not be disappointed.
@ 6:43, I saw another shot. While not a high % to make, it does more to the right pocket players advantage. Banking the 14 ball towards the right pocket, the que ball will carom off, hitting both the 5 and the 15. The result will be the 10, 8 & 14 or 12 in better position
Thank you Logan for offering your alternative shot. Though it is true that several balls will be sent in the direction of the shooter's pocket, controlling the cue ball is very suspect. Your shot has considerable risk of scratching off the 5 and 15. When weighing whether to choose aggressive shots which carry even a moderate risk of surrendering open shots to your opponent it is best to know to a high degree what outcome to expect. Though the shot shown send fewer balls towards the shooter's pocket the shot is far easier to execute and accomplishes all that is necessary. Remember, it only take eight balls to win the game!
Are you the same Tom wirth that use to play at USA billiards in Laruel? MD
Yep Ray, That's me alright.
@@onepocketagameofcontrolled3646 I use to play in there a lot, I’ve seen you in there playing,and I think giving lessons.
@@raymondphillips7107 Yes Ray. I worked for Mr. Lee for several years and enjoyed it very much. There was a great group of people and players who frequented USA Billiards. They kept the room in good form and catered to knowledgeable players. Good to hear from you.
@@onepocketagameofcontrolled3646 I was just a beginner back then, but I definitely enjoyed the place. I remember they had good food also! Were you there the time Leonardo Andam came in and gave the house the 7. A guy named the Baltimore bullet played him,but didn’t want the 7. Played And beat him Straight up.
@@raymondphillips7107 I did see Andam there but didn't see the match you're talking about. There were a couple guys who used the name "Baltimore Bullet.". Must have been a very entertaining match.
wow i learned something today--i dont think i would beat u in one pocket, you have some great knowledge...........
Don, I've been a student of the game for over 50 years. It's been a passion and still is. Thanks.
