- This is a project requested by my good friends, the administrators of Onepocket.org.
They provided to me a series of unique One Pocket shots and asked me to produce a video of these shot with a short explanation of each.
If you have not visited this site and enjoy the game please take a moment and check it out. You can become a member but it isn't necessary if all you wish to do is lurk.

love this video
Thank you Christine. Happy New Year too!
At 9:30, he is a bad Boy..... I"m teaching my son one pocket and as for pocket billiards, one pocket is the most interesting game, though I grew up playing snooker with old farmers for the cost of the game. 30 cents. It killed em' to pull that money out of their pockets, after jingling it for the last 5 shots. I love golf on a snooker table too. Always Friday night money in the pocket. Thanks for your effort, a great find.
I’m still coming back for more insight !!!
Excellent video to help players utilize creativity which is vital in 1 pocket, in my opinion! :)
love 1p-love the vast knowledge of Tom W--THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE
BOB C
Thank you Bob. I'm working on putting together a one hour video of unique One Pocket shots. Many shots are different from what you see are seeing here. Several of these you tube shots by the way, will be coming down soon. Don't worry, I will give everyone a heads up when the video is ready for distribution.
I'm a70-year-old 9 ball player. Just getting into one pocket the last year. I play everyday. I'm about to purchase your book. I've heard great things about it. I will add it to my pool Library
In the first part of the video on the alternate break part. The right side of the rack wasn't touching, you can see on the break. when the cue ball made contact with the 6ball. If the 6ball was frozen to the 13 ball and 3 ball they wouldn't have reacted like that. Those balls would have tracked correctly... and leaked over the opponents pocket. Only thing that was frozen on the side was the 1ball to the 14ball as you can clearly see it reacts correctly. Great video though thanks for sharing.
Sorry Keith, Even though this video is about a year and a half old i"m certain all the balls were frozen to one another. The balls on this table have always racked beautifully and tight. I've never had a problem racking on this table.
Still, I do appreciate your time in viewing my videos and your input is valuable to me.
good stuff as always. i love learning this game!!!
Thanks a lot I just love to watch u shoot and the two balls on the spot ! I seem a lot of player make that shot but u r the first one to explain it ! just love this game so many shots u got to know !
Thank you Wayne, It is a pleasure to share what I know with guys like you who appreciate One Pocket as the greatest pool game ever invented. "Shoot straight & run 8!"
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Great shots!
You're welcome Zak. I hope you can use the knowledge I share to help develop your game to the highest level you can achieve.
Tom I enjoyed your video and gave it a thumbs up. The video would be even better if you indicated the juice to use on the rock for each shot like you did on the last shot in the video with the frozen ball spot shot :)
Hello Charlie, thank you for your "thumbs up" and for your suggestion, I will consider it for future projects.
Some great shots and one pocket advise here...the only thing I would recommend since an instructional video series....include the spin and speed you're hitting it. That would help tremendously
Hey Scotty, I must disagree with you here. I don't think my sharing which spins and speeds will help with the shots you don't quite understand. That would be like giving you the questions and answers to a test all at the same time. How are you expected to learn the nuances of these shots if you don't take them to a table, set them up, and practice them? In this way you will be forced to learn how they work and be better off for the experience. Just my opinion for what it's "Wirth" Still, I thank you for your suggestion.
Well i guess it just depends on your intent with these videos are you trying to teach people how to play better, or trying to just show off and maybe encourage someone to learn them on their own. Why not speed up the process of learning by offering your knowledge on shots like these? Yes, I agree that these shots should be practiced, and really there's no way you're going to make them without practicing them....but why not provide as much help to those trying to learn as you can from just a love for the game and others interested in learning more about it? just my opinion though.
Scotty, so I ask you, what do you think my motivation is in freely sharing these videos with you and others? "Why not provide as much help to those trying to learn"? Because you will learn far more by the art of self discovery then you will by my explaining the shot in detail. Watch the shot develop. You should be able to figure out the spins and speeds simply by watching how the balls move around the table. Don't you like puzzles?
One Pocket: A Game of Controlled Aggression I like puzzles but I come on youtube to learn things. You sound like every other one pocket only player I play with. Lol
And you sound like that guy who wants it all handed to them. Do yourself a favor, put in some personal effort and work at it. No one will come along with all the answers, wave a wand over your head and Alakazam! instant understanding. If you really want to learn the game in greater depth take a few lessons from a top player in your area. I've given you a number of ideas which you can apply to your One Pocket game, Now it's up to you. Good night .
@ 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!
Tom, Thanks for the video Re 19:28 the two balls on the spot, make the front ball shot.
I am having trouble figuring out how full to hit the head ball. Slightly left of center seems to work fairly well if I draw CB back towards the left corner area. I keep getting a double kiss hitting it too full if I try to duplicate your straight back draw. Also what english are you using. A little left? A lott of left. Tips?
Hi C2, The easiest way to explain how this shot should be played is by describing the set up. Place the centers of the cue ball and head ball on line with the first diamond on the head rail and try to draw the cue ball back to the same position. No english! Firm, smooth, and relaxed stroke. If you encounter a double kiss on the two object balls you hit too full on the head ball. the cue ball will return more towards the head plate. My shot was more or less like that but I did beat t he double kiss. If the cue ball runs towards the side pocket you hit too thin and the object ball will run towards the side cushion. Keep working at it. Sounds like you're almost there.
at about 2.10 you made the combo pocketing the 15 instead of playing the cueball off the rail and pocketing the 15 then siding to the other long rail for more points instead of leaving the cue stuck in the pack ............ i dont know if that was doable from this angle but it looked like it had the promise for more points
Ah! I see what's going on here Riff. You are confused as to who has which pocket. On this shot my pocket was the one to the right as you were viewing the table. The goal being to clear my opponent's pocket, send balls in the direction of my own, and stick the cue ball in the catcher's mitt and setting a difficult trap for him to escape from. Now had the left hand pocket been mine your idea would have been an excellent choice of shot. I hope this helps and thank you for being a part of my You Tube channel. Please continue to make inquiries. It's all good.
yes sir lol in big letters defense into offense you are right i was correct i was confused about what pocket you had . none the less lol had that been your pocket would my shot selection have been acceptable
Absolutely my friend!
I have to get this book.

One pocket is the best game ever.
Hi i wanted to ask and i am not a 1 pocket player because aggresion is to hard to control lol ,,,,,,,, but on that combo was it easier to play the 15 off the rail with the cue and end up on the long rail on the right side of the table maybe sliding under the 2 6 or 8 for more points ,. its hard to tell from this angle but if it was possible would you call that a better shot ,,,,,, idk plus it would keep the first ball you struck from going towards an oppenst pocket . it may have been a 6 point shot ..
Sorry it has taken so long for me to respond to you riff. I want to reply to your question but I don't know which shot you are referring to. Help me out here and I will get back to you quickly this time.
I've read the 1-pocket rules more than once, and read what Wikipedia has to say about 1-pocket.
While watching 1-pocket games on You Tube, I find myself at a loss as to why players spot balls
during a game of 1-pocket. Announcers never explain why a ball is being spotted.
Does the object ball need to hit a cushion during a shot?
Does the cue ball need to hit a cushion during the shot?
Is it required that the cue ball strike another ball during a shot?
The standard rules of pool apply. The cue ball must hit an object ball and then a ball, any ball including the cue ball must then strike a cushion. The sequence must be ball then cushion. The cue ball can strike several rails before the hit on the object ball but then the sequence begins. Should a foul occur the offending player must then pay a one ball penalty and spot a ball. If that player has no ball to spot he then owes a ball and must pay it at the end of the first inning in which he legally pockets a ball into his pocket. A ball which falls into any of the four non scoring pockets gets spotted at the conclusion of the inning. No foul there.
@@onepocketagameofcontrolled3646 - I'll keep an eye out for that. Good to read. Thanks. I moved to a
country cross-roads town with no pool hall, so I'm learning to shoot pool with the help of You Tube videos.
@@mu99ins Be careful with who you are listening to. There is a great deal of misinformation out there. That's not to say there are some very helpful videos too.
Is there a reason that you do not edit out all the “dead air” when there is no action? Almost doze off waiting for the valuable nuggets of useful info. Asking for a friend, of course
That looks like a 9 foot table. If so, what size is that room? If it isn't 9 foot, then what size table and room?
A bunch of low percentage high risk shots that not many money players would shoot facing a run out player.
albino turtles low percentage shots for a player that does not know how to execute them.
Interesting ...we don't want to sell the farm with a high risk shot/move yet Tom stresses to be more aggressive/offensive against a much stronger player or they will destroy you. You cannot beat a stronger runout player being conservative.
