One Pocket - 99 Critical Shots
Vložit
- čas přidán 12. 02. 2021
- Inspired by The 99 Critical Shots in Pool, The 99 Critical Shots in One Pocket is a collection of interesting shots as well as bread and butter one pocket shots. Some of these shots may appear too aggressive, but there isn't a shot I wouldn't shoot given the right situation. One pocket shot selection always comes down to the situation and the score. Does your opponent need a ball and you need them all? Do the balls heavily favor your opponent? Is your opponent continually out-moving you? Do the table conditions make a particular shot higher percentage? All of these are reasons for choosing an aggressive shot.
Enjoy the video and let me know what you think in the comments. Each shot is numbered for easier reference. There is also a pinned comment that gives additional information on each shot (e.g., the english used or the score).
#1) Remove the 8 ball from your opponent's pocket by kicking at it with bottom or bottom-right. The 8 ball should carom off the stack towards your pocket and the 2/6 will serve as blockers.
#2) Kick the 12 towards your pocket and billiard the ball in that is hanging in your opponent's pocket. This shot can be shot will no english or a touch of left.
#3) This is a great shot that is freer than it looks. Kick at the 12 with bottom-right and a medium-hard hit. If you have the correct angle, the cue ball will reverse when it hits the opposite rail and come down table.
#4) This is one of those thin banks that gets overlooked a lot. With a thin cut on the 4 and maximum bottom, the cue ball bananas off the top rail and straightens out to get position.
#5) Your opponent needs a ball and you need them all. Bank the 11 off the 4 sending it towards your pocket. If you make it, you can get back in the game.
#6) The balls favor your opponent. Let's flip the script by shooting the 6 ball rail first into the hanging ball. Send the cue ball into the stack to complete the trap. Use a punch stroke and a touch of draw.
#7) The side pocket blocks the bank on the 8. Kick at the 8 with inside english (left in this case) sending the 8 towards your hole and getting position on the 2/6.
#8) You need both balls. Bank the 13 towards your pocket and send the cue ball into the 14 with draw. When executed correctly, you should be able to get both balls close and make one if you are "running good" that day.
#9) You need both balls. You can't really shoot the combo because it would be difficult to control the cue ball and the 1 ball if you miss the 15. The 4 rail bank is straight in though. Shoot that and stop your rock. This shot is a lot easier on lively rails (which mine are not).
#10) The 14 is too thin to cut and the 5 ball bank isn't quite available. Bank the 14 up and back and get the cue ball in the stack with bottom-right.
#11) You need all 3 balls. Bank the 14 thin and bring the cue ball around 3 rails with right or bottom-right english. Bottom-right will lengthen out the bank.
#12) You need all 3 balls. This is laying perfect to shoot the 12 off the 10, which will send both to your hole. Follow down for position on the 4 ball.
#13) You'll see Tony Chohan shoot this one a lot. Use the 5 to bank the 11 towards your pocket. The 5 caroms off the 11 into the stack, which will hopefully open the stack for a shot.
#14) Your opponent has you in a trap behind the 8 and has 2 balls near their pocket. Use those balls to your advantage to reverse the trap with a 4 rail kick. Even if you foul here it's worth it if the cue ball gets behind the 1/12.
#15) You need all the balls, and your opponent has been wedging your side of the table. Bank the 13 straight away and make it carom off the 5 towards your pocket.
#16) You need both balls. You could cut the 15 in, but it may be tough to control the cue ball and the 5. Another shot is to double bank the 15 with bottom and get position on the 5. If you miss, the 5 ball serves as a blocker.
#17) This shot comes up a lot. 2 rail the 12 ball towards your pocket and hide the cue ball in the stack. It's actually better when it doesn't go in. A middle ball works - it just depends what part of the stack you want to hit.
#18) One of my favorite shots. I learned it from Tony Watson probably 20 years ago. Yes, you could go up and down with the cue ball, but I actually hit it better with bottom-left. It's a great stroke shot to practice. Here is an old video of me showing both flavors of the drill: czcams.com/video/UYjRSUyq6-c/video.html&ab_channel=PoolMonsters
#19) Three rail the 2 ball towards your hole. I drew it back slightly to try and mitigate any return banks in case the 2 ball didn't fall.
#20) Use the point of the side pocket to bank the 14 towards your pocket. You can also play to open up the 3 ball cluster softly with the hope of still having blockers if you miss.
#21) The banks appear to be blocked, but there is a 3 rail bank available on the 5. By shooting it with running english (right in this case) you can send the cue ball around 3 rails to get behind the balls. There is a chance for a kiss when the cue ball and 5 meet in the middle - besides that, it's pretty free when you get the feel for it.
#22) This is a good end-game shot. Bank the 10 ball 3 rails with high-right english and try and get the cue ball to the top rail (which I didn't do)
#23) This shot comes up a lot in the first few innings. Bank the 15 ball 3 rails with low-left english and hide the cue ball in the stack.
#24) Bank the 7 ball to your pocket by striking the bottom rail first with left english. In this example, nothing really goes in your opponent's pocket, so it's fairly free to come around for position.
#25) Shoot the 5 ball 3 rails to your pocket with a touch of draw to hide the cue ball in the stack. Ideally, the 5 balls hangs up or gets really close.
#26) This is a great end-game shot. Your opponent did their job by leaving you diagonally, but there is kick bank available. I like to hit this with a touch of high-right english.
#27) You have the right hand pocket and at first glance there is nothing offensive available. How about a back-kick on the 4 ball with left english. This is similar to a kick-safe shot in 9 ball.
#28) You need all 3 balls. Bank the 11 ball in with left english and get position for the win.
#29) The 5 and 2 ball prevent you from banking the 7. You can bank the 7 into them though and get balls close to your hole. Swing the cue ball around 3 rails with left english and hide under the 10 and 6. Your opponent may whine a little if something drops.
#30) There's no room to bank the 3 one-rail, but there is a shot here to bank it into the bottom rail then off the point towards your pocket. No english required.
#31) Some may choose to bank the 1 into the 12 or bank the 1 into the top of the stack and hide the cue ball under the 12/7. Both should be considered, but I like banking into the 10-8-3 and following into the stack for cover.
#32) Bank the 11 into the rail and it will carom off the 13 towards your hole. The backwards cut bank of the 11 is also available will maximum right english, but I like the bank carom when it lays good since controlling the cue ball is trivial.
#33) You need all the balls and the banks are blocked. There's a billiard available on the 6 though. No english required - just measure up how thick to hit the 8 for the cue ball to come off on the correct angle.
#34) Very typical end game shot. Bank the 12 with maximum bottom-right. There are potentical scratches in the side pocket and top right corner, so vary your english and speed to avoid them (depending on the table conditions)
#35) The cut looks a little tough. The 4 railer is a safer bet. Bottom-left english should send you safely towards the top rail.
#36) You didn't get the cue ball high enough for shape on the 13. You still have a chance to get some balls with a carom off the 1 ball though. A little right english was used for shape on the 3 ball.
#37) Your opponent trapped you pretty well and you'll have to shoot your way out. Carom the 11 off the three and follow the cue ball for position. Making this and running some balls will sicken your opponent.
#38) You need all the balls and it's probably time to be aggressive. You could bank the 1, but it's tough to control the cue ball. Use the 1 to bank the 13 instead and roll out with right english for position on the balls close to the side pocket.
#39) You need all three balls. Play a cross-over bank on the 10 and get on the 4/11. Not much english needed - maybe a touch of inside.
#40) Double kiss bank the 10 ball to your pocket by cutting it slightly. Top was used to make the 1 ball as well.
#41) The Efren 4 rail kick bank. This shot takes all the stroke you have with bottom or bottom-right. It's a lot easier on new cloth and/or new cushions.
#42) Classic 5 railer. No english required. Just find the angle and hit it with a sledgehammer stroke.
#43) 4 rail bank past the side. On most tables this is shot to just get the object ball close to your hole - it's tough to make since the side pocket is "in the way". This shot is also more playable under humid/wet conditions.
#44) Steal the 4 ball by jacking up and shooting with enough speed that sends it back up table if missed.
#45) A very typical return shot after the break. Bank the 13 into the stack and bring the cue ball around 3 rails four cover. Running english required (left in this case).
#46) You and your opponent need 2. Double bank the 12 to your hole. The cue ball kind of got away here - the intent was to put it on the top rail closer to the middle diamond.
#47) You and your opponent need 2. Use high or high-right english to knock the 13 ball away and freeze the cue ball on the bottom rail.
#48) Your opponent has you stuck pretty good. You could nudge the 7, but a kick jump is available. An elevated cue and a "pop stroke" should make the cue ball leave the slate slightly and rebound even higher off the cushion.
#49) At first glance there is nothing offensive here. There is a chance to rail first kick the 4 and send it 2 rails toward your pocket. This is a good shot if you need all 3 balls. Use bottom or bottom-right english.
[.....] See the other comment below. The max comment length was reached.
#50) The 14 ball bank is available, but it's hard to hide the cue ball. Back kick the 14 sending it towards your hole. No english required.
#51) The balls favor you and you would like to protect the 13. Thinning the 14 and getting the cue ball in the stack puts your opponent in a trap.
#52) The Bugs Rucker bank. You need two balls and the bank is on, but position isn't natural. Use a lot of low-left to make the cue ball reverse off the first rail and come down for the 14.
#53) This shot comes up a lot in the end-game and is definitely worth practicing. Use a rail-first bank on the 15 to send it towards your pocket.
#54) This is one of the most satisfying one pocket shots. Your opponent thinks they have you in a trap, but the 15 is laying perfect for a kick bank. Measure up the kick for the cue ball to come across the face of the 15 and use left english.
#55) Cutting the 6 in is an option, but a sure bet is to kick at the 8 ball and trap your opponent.
#56) The stack is just asking to be kicked at. The 2/11 and 8/12 are both pointed at your pocket and there is a lot of margin for error.
#57) Down to the wire here - there's a good 2 rail bank that should be shot with low-left. If you do miss, miss it fat so that the 15 doesn't hit the long rail and go towards your opponent's pocket.
#58) A classic takeout shot. Use bottom or bottom right to stick the cue ball while knocking the 1 ball away rail first. Ideally, the 1 ball ends up close to the top-right pocket, diagonally from the cue ball.
#59) Another takeout shot. This time you can kick the 1 to your pocket with right english.
#60) This is a good shot if you can hit the bottom rail before contacting the 3 ball so the cue ball continues toward the stack. If not, you are likely to leave an easy return bank.
#61) You could cut at the 12, but it's difficult to control the cue ball. A better shot is to play the 12 off the 1 and come to the bottom rail for your next shot.
#62) You need 2. Bank the 11 ball with inside english and come around 3 rails for the 15.
#63) The classic cut-induced spin bank. There really is no english necessary - the act of the cue ball cutting the 11 to the right puts left english on the 11, which throws it back to the left.
#64) This is a free shot to send the 13 ball towards your pocket and put pressure on your opponent. Kick 2 rails behind it with right hand english.
#65) There's a kiss if you try and bank the 5, but you can beat the kiss by going rail first with left english.
#66) You need both balls. You could bank the 1 ball with low-left towards your pocket, but another option is to bank it into the 15 and send both balls to your hole.
#67) Another cut-induced bank. On this one I do like using a little inside english (right). This helps twist the 9 ball since it has less time to take the english and is struck with less speed than #63.
#68) The cut on the 3 is too tough, but the two rail bank is pretty high percentage.
#69) Not much offense available here. You could bank the 8 into the 5 or kick at the stack, but another option is to thin off the 6 with lots of left english and get behind the 5/8.
#70) A typical takeout shot. Kick behind the 4 with right english with the correct angle to put it on your side. Having a ball close to the side pocket on your long rail takes way a lot of your opponent's offense.
#71) This shot comes up fairly often after the break. Billiard into the 12 off the 4 to make the 12 in your pocket.
#72) Removing balls from your opponent's pocket is key. Here you can remove 2 threats at once. Follow was used to avoid leaving a return 2 railer on the 15.
#73) You need both balls. 3 rail the 5 ball and use low-right to get on the 14
#74) The 1 railer on the five is too tight. There is a 3 railer available though. Cut the 5 about half a diamond out and let the cut-induced spin take over.
#75) The balls favor you already and you have a chance to set a trap. 2 rail the 13 to your hole and get the cue ball in the stack. No english required.
#76) The all-important spot shot. You need two balls. I like drawing this with a good stroke as opposed to rolling the 6 in.
#77) I guess your opponent didn't think you knew this one. All that's required is a cut on the 9 and you can "throw-bank" the 5 in. The cue ball was followed down to avoid a leaving an easy return bank.
#78) You only need 1 ball here, so it's not worth trying to make one. Simply put both balls on your side by softly cutting the 6 ball.
#79) You only need 1 ball, but you want to be a little more aggressive (maybe your opponent has been out-moving you). Bank the 1 in with low-left english.
#80) You need both balls. Time to be aggressive and go for the win. Cut the 15 slightly with bottom, which will apply top to the 15 and hopefully send it into the pocket. The 12 should bank two rails toward your pocket as well.
#81) You need 1 ball. Bank the 7 ball in with low-right english for the win
#82) You and your opponent both need 2 balls. You have a good chance to 2 rail the 9 and get behind the 13 for cover or for a winning shot if the 9 falls.
#83) You need both balls. Cut the 15 in with right english and come around 4 rails for the 1.
#84) You need both balls. Shoot the 9 with a little right and knock the 2 ball away from your opponent's pocket.
#85) Your opponent thought they left you safe, but this ball will 2 rail to your pocket. Use left english to keep the cue ball up table. There is a chance for a kiss, so be careful.
#86) Nothing special here. Just a two railer to your pocket. Send the cue ball to the top rail to make any return banks more difficult.
#87) Your opponent thinks you are in a trap, but there is a dead ball in the stack. Kick at the 10 ball 2 rails with speed to get out of the trap.
#88) A thin hit and maximum left hand english is required to make this bank.
#89) You need 3 balls for the win. Double bank the 10 and break out the 14/15. A touch of left helps here.
#90) You need 1 ball. The 3 ball may be bankable, but it's hard to shoot it and not leave the 10 ball if missed (and maintain pocket speed). You could try and bank it with speed and swing the cue ball around, but a kick on the 10 ball is a better option.
#91) You need 3 balls. There's a free 3 rail bank on the 1 ball with built in position. A little left will help straighten the cue ball out. Ideally you will end up on the other side of the side pocket.
#92) You need all 3 balls. 3 rail the 5 and stop the cue ball for shape on the 4.
#93) The 8 ball blocks a bank on the 6, but a kiss bank is available and offers position as well. A little draw helps.
#94) A nice billiard on the 6. Bottom-left required.
#95) A typical beginning game combo bank. Play position for the 3 while not leaving the 1 or 15 if missed.
#96) Your opponent has a ball in front of their pocket that you need to deal with. Kick it away by attempting to strike between the 12 ball and the rail.
#97) Sometimes your best option is to take a foul and hope for something better on the next inning.
#98) This is definitely a critical shot. Make the 1 ball for your opponent by kicking 3 rails.
#99) Like most pool games, the break is critical. Check out this video for more information on the break: czcams.com/video/E3Nb8fV8Nx4/video.html&ab_channel=PoolMonsters
BIG thanks to you!! I love the game haven't seen a lot of your shots and how to make them. THANKS AGAIN. I hope you provide the other 50 explanation's. you have a new fan!
@@uhenoalvarez3480 Thank you very much! Shots 1-49 are explained in a comment above this one, then 50-99 should be showing right after that. Unfortunately, CZcams wouldn't let me post it as one comment.
I love this video. I would pay to see more like it. This gives me so many ideas on the table.
@@Yezir760 Thank you! Glad the video gave you some ideas and inspiration.
This is a very well done video - there is not enough one pocket. being played and not enough one pocket players watching You Tube - but this video is very well produced, thought out and executed. I hope people appreciate the time that goes into a video like this.
Thank you! Agreed - I wish one pocket was more widely adopted.
I was watching a match a few weeks ago that Jeremy Jones was the commentator for (I think it was on the Railbirds channel). He said that one pocket is the most watched billiard game on youtube.
I probably watch this video once a month. I’ve now used at least a half a dozen of these shots in games much to my opponents disgust. Not only has it opened my eyes to new shots, I really enjoy the music. Thank you!!
Thank you for the kind words! Keep making your opponents disgusted!
Put the shots on paper into a book and you already sold one. This is BRILLIANT and long overdue. Thanks for all the hard work putting this together. Nothing short of inspirational. BANK ON BROTHER!
Thank you for the kind words! Bank on for sure!
"One Pocket, aGame of controlled aggressions" by Tom Wirth
I kept having to pause and rewatch from the very beginning. Loved all of these shots! Thanks for posting.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Probally the best one pocket video on youtube!!! Thanks man.. You're the real MVP!!!!
Thank you!!!
14:13 Nothing like a little timing kiss shot to make your opponent go on tilt. This is a beautiful compilation and it took a lot of creativity to come up with. Well done sir.
I’d love to see you remake this video with a Cue Ball in the top corner showing what type of English you’re using on shots
Nice job! I just finished writing a One Pocket book, and you might think I got some shots from your video, but given I just watched it now, that would not be possible! What it is, great minds think alike and we both obviously love the game! Kudos to you for this!!!
Thank you! Let me know whenever the book is published and I'll buy a copy.
I'll buy it, tell us when it's out, and the name of it!👍
my favorite clip on utube
Thank you!
Good pool and good tunes. My favorite combination.
and a good lookin women making your drinks !
Great tutorial for the greatest game in pool , an eye opener specially shot nr, 3 and 30 -I would never have gone for those before now, well done sir
Thank you! The greatest game in pool indeed.
I have watched this 21,456 times and I never get sick of it and always learn something
Thanks! I was wondering how this video got so many views. 😆 That's what I love about one pocket - there's always more shots to discover/learn.
I have the book The 99 Critical Shots in Pool. These one pocket shots need to be written down in a similar format. Awesome thank you for the video.
Thanks @sashajasper497! That would definitely be a fun project that I'd love to get to one of these days.
The Low Sparks of High Speed Draw.
Hahaha. Those would be better lyrics
Soon to be a classic, viral video! Thanks for sharing
Thanks Michael! Glad you enjoyed it.
Very well done. Great camera angles. Much better than seeing in a book.
Great sound track and some great shot making.
There are so many incredible shots in this one. Nicely done video!
Thank you!
Consider publishing this either in PDF or hardback form. I'd personally buy a copy.
Thank you. I would really love to publish this as a book. It would be a lot of work, but it would be a fun project.
Inspirational Video! Thank you for putting the time in to make this. Would love to play someone of your caliber one day.
Thank you for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Excellent performance, The most impressive part is the speed control on such difficult shots. I started playing pool in the early 1960s. I have watched most of the greatest players from then until now. I believe the players of today play better than at any time in history. Part of it has to do with equipment and conditions, but most of it is higher skill levels.
awesome shots and great tunes!!!
VERY INSPIRATIONAL !
Great video you should add the the english for the different shots and congrats on the soundtrack brought back memories thanks
Thanks Juan! My dad introduced me to Traffic....such a great band. I have been meaning to write up a description for each shot with more context and details (including english).
Now this is what we need more of: actual music and not that stupid-a**ed 5-second loop BS!!
Great share thanks, good music too
This video is gold.
Thanks @Nathan Rhoades!
Thanks. Great job!
Thank you!
Brilliant thought process and execution. You guys earned a subscriber today, and you deserve 5,000,000 instead of 500!
Thank you very much for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Great job. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Awesome shots, love the soundtrack.
Thank you!
Great material to study! Thank you!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
This looks like a Tony match lol Thanks for showing some of these great shots
Haha, yea I definitely stole some of those from watching Tony play.
Best one pocket player in the USA= Tony Chohan.
This video should be BANNED from the internet. It’s like the Valentines Day Massacre. Road players all over the country will see there bankroll shrink as thIs Carnal knowledge is distributed. But seriously GREAT WORK with this going to get a million views.
Hahaha. Thank you for the kind words. This is the best comment so far.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great collection of shots!
#41 - that's the Efren 4 railer
Yep. A buddy of mine saw Efren shoot that at the Derby and showed me that shot. My rails are old, so it's hard to get the object ball all the way around. It's a lot easier on a new Diamond.
wow #20 was crazy amazing haha
Thanks! Those off the point shots are always fun to shoot.
just look out for the two railers and know a couple three railer lineups. after that the 4's and 5's show themselves when they line up.
So beautiful! Thanks alot.
All the shots I didn't want you to know, dam CZcams !!
Nice video. Very helpful as I'm new to the game. Thank you. Tony definitely has some shots 💪🏼😎
Thank you! Yea, Tony is the man. Can definitely learn a lot watching him play.
Great shots. Some of them I wouldn't shoot in a game but definitely some good stuff
Thanks!
This was well done.
Awesome video. Incredibly entertaining as well
Thanks!
Terrific job, thanks!
Thank you!
Great Video! my subscription has been earned
Thanks Jacob. I just subscribed to your channel as well.
Nice. One pocket is my favorite game
Same here! Such a beautiful game
The Compendium! 😀
Actually a good video. You won’t see many one pocket players taking those shot in a game but you do have to know all of this in case your in a pinch.
This should be labeled as 99 trickshots of one pocket.
No, these are shots you can and should be shooting in games. It all depends on the situation and score though. From the video description:
"Some of these shots may appear too aggressive, but there isn't a shot I wouldn't shoot given the right situation. One pocket shot selection always comes down to the situation and the score. Does your opponent need a ball and you need them all? Do the balls heavily favor your opponent? Is your opponent continually out-moving you? Do the table conditions make a particular shot higher percentage? All of these are reasons for choosing an aggressive shot."
"One man's trick shot is a one-pocket player's bread and butter. It's a trick shot only if you don't know how to make it. And often the biggest trick is recognizing the shot when it comes up in an actual game." ~ Shots, Moves, & Strategies

Thanks James!
93 WAS ROUGH!!!
Oh yea, I love that shot
Looks like all 100 shots were done with the cue you just got. Very nice.
I'm loving the Revo. Hopefully you are liking your new cue as well.
This kind of makes me want to quit but I Iove the music.
What a beautiful game
Awesome!
A lot of very good shots, very creative.. Excellent song..
However, some shots aren’t practical, for example, #5.. You can lose the game if you miss, leaving multiple banks.. And banking a ball off another ball isn’t automatic..
Excellent video, though..
Thank you! Good call on #5. I should have chosen a different setup for that shot. I probably like shooting it if "you need a ball and I need em all," but would probably pass otherwise because of the easy return banks it would leave.
nice--i was enamored with number 3--didnt watch whole vid but most of these shots are well known by good op players---
Thanks, Don. Yep - anyone who has played a lot of one pocket shouldn't be surprised by any of these shots.
This video is amazing.
Thank you! I had a lot of fun making it.
@@PoolMonsters the coolest part of this video was it showed me some positions I commonly get in and how to reverse the trap or create my own trap. I played a pretty long session yesterday at Buffalo's in New Orleans and I could remember thinking about this video in a few positions. It's actually a really powerful video for you intermediate players that are still learning moves like me.
@@nemesisryder2 Glad to hear it helped you out. I wish I was living in New Orleans right now. You get to watch the one pocket king pretty regularly I would imagine.
@@PoolMonsters yeah Tony Chohan gets in a lot of action. Always fun to watch him play. Alot of the shots in your video I've seen on video executed by him during a match or watched in person. But seeing them in one big collective video makes it easier to remember them.
I wish you can tell us what English you use on every shot. Thanks
Thanks for the feedback. Someone else requested the same, so I listed the English for each shot in a pinned comment. It would be much better to use an overlaid cue ball image that shows for each shot though. I'm going to hopefully do that in my next video.
Shot #41, is that off the rail or ball first hit? How did you kill the cue ball?
It's off the rail first.
#41) The Efren 4 rail kick bank. This shot takes all the stroke you have with bottom or bottom-right. It's a lot easier on new cloth and/or new cushions.

Straight fire! Thanks for sharing. I'm going to send this to a few guys I play one pocket with.
Great videos. Reminds me of Winning One Pocket Book. Please use all the Color of Money Songs in videos.
Thank you! I'll keep trying to fit the Color of Money songs in. I love that soundtrack.
Now only if they would line up like that for me in my matches lol
Great shots .. you should make one of top 10 critics and explain through them ..
Thank you! Great idea - hopefully I'll get some time over the holidays to put some more videos together.
I can do 71 of these shots so far
Great video man!👍🏽 Does the book explains where to place and hit the balls at in details? Thanks.
The book is actually The 99 Critical Shots in Pool and doesn't have the same shots. I just copied the concept and applied it to one pocket. There is a pinned comment with a little more detail on each shot though.
Wowwww
Awesome dude
Dude your table looks like it plays soooooo good… Who set it up?
Fayetteville Billiards

Excellent video.
Thank you!
Next time you make this video please show where you are striking the cue ball. It would be helpful to know the english you are using and how much of it. Otherwise it’s a great compilation!
You forgot one… straight-in shot :-)
One of the best videos I've ever seen. Only thing that could be added is showing what English on the ball is used on each shot.
Thank you very much! Yea, I regret not showing the English on each shot.
Takes a hell of a player to make them with the cue ball control you have excellent shooting
Thank you! It also helps being able to record multiple takes.
@@PoolMonsters how do you feel about the carbon fiber ? I’ve never used one
@@supersam1914 I like the Predator Revo a lot. I was already used to playing with Predator cues, so it didn't feel like that big of a switch. The carbon does sound and feel a little different, but it plays great.
Amazing
How is shot #41 being hit? I can't get it rite. Thank you!
Sorry, I just saw this comment.
#41 is the Efren 4 rail kick bank. This shot takes all the stroke you have with bottom or bottom-right. It's a lot easier on new cloth and/or new cushions.
@@PoolMonsters thank you!
Awesome 👍
Thanks!
What type of camera do you use? Btw, great video!!!
It's just the camera on my Samsung Galaxy tablet. It's not always reliable, so I've been looking for something else.
@@PoolMonsters I've gone through 2 Nexigo cams and they have had exposure issues and neither are as clear as your vids lol. Thanks for the reply!
@@PoolMonsters what resolution is this recorded in? i was going to use my s9 but it will only record 5 minutes in 1080p
@@spankvader I just checked the setting and it says FHD 1920x1080. This is the tablet: Samsung Galaxy Tab A SM-T510 10.1" 32GB
The only thing I don't like is sometimes it will auto-focus and go blurry like at 10:15
Nice
Good

One pocket 10 commandments?
it would be great if you could show what English you apply on each shot!
Thanks for the feedback! A few others have recommended that as well, so I will definitely incorporate that into the next video.
Your video on different breaks for 1pkt is very educational as well. I really like going in the ball 3 to 4 , very powerful result. Thank you.
@@vitalikliber Thanks! One of the guys I used to play against broke between the 3 and 4th balls and it was very effective.
What is the name of the background song?
Traffic - The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys
I like using a two rail umbrella shot to hook my opponent. 3 Cushion shot.
Long rail kick tickies must be mastered.
Yes 96! And further up rail with multiple balls for great D!!
"Hey you play pretty good, you must have a table at home....I would be real good too if I had my own table....whaddya got an 8 foot at home or a 9?" .......(How many times you heard this one?)😂
Haha, yea I've definitely heard that before. By the time I got a pool table at home, I had pretty much stopped taking pool seriously though. Going to the pool hall every day and staying in action is what moved the needle for me.
@PoolMonsters Yeah. Same here! The home table is just too keep me "warmed up"! Seriously though your video is TOTALLY EPIC! Thanks for putting it together. I love that they're shot that come up very often and are playable! The willie jopling type shots are cool and important to understand but your video is "the book" in video format!
@@CaptainOnePocket Thank you for the kind words! That means a lot.
One pocket is my favourite game. Too bad it's just not popular where I'm from. Most people never even heard of it.. And most people I show don't like it because it's "too slow".
Same here. It seems like people either love one pocket or hate it, and there are definitely more haters.
99 is usually rerack
You must never lose gambling!
I wish I could say that! 💲💲💲
Everyone loses at gambling!
What planet do you come from?
would be nice if we knew what english you used
Thanks for the feedback. I'm working on a write-up for each shot that I will post in the video description.
@@PoolMonsters thank you so much, i am trying to learn this game, now that i am old lol
@@gordoncleaver6068 lol, I'm still trying to learn it too. Such a great game
Was that Tom Worth next to the table?
That's Ray Martin. I've never had a chance to play against Tom, but really enjoy his one pocket videos.
Are you the one who just put out a new one pocket book?
No, I'm not sure who that is. If you find out, please let me know so I can see if it's worth buying a copy.
@@PoolMonsters Steve booth but I thought maybe you were him🤷♂️
@@medallion39 Looks like it might be worth buying. I just found it on OnePocket.org and the reviews are pretty positive. www.onepocket.org/news/the-art-of-one-pocket/
Let’s be real your playing on a fast table not gonna be like this everywhere
True. The main pool hall in my area has the Diamond Pro-Am tables though, which play a lot faster than my old school red label Diamond. It's all relative.
Where's your 99 Defensive shots?
Love watching those old Grady videos.
I love crushing defense.
I break low on rack to keep the rack together for more safety play.
@@HanoiHustler Agreed - those old Grady videos are great. He was a wealth of knowledge and a natural teacher.
Also #6 is not worth the point. Lol. You put like four balls on opponents side for one point. I wouldn’t take that, personally but whatevs. Cool video.
It was pretty obvious he was shooting to the other pocket. If this is the professional pool player John Schmidt, maybe you should put the pipe down.
You got 10-8 lol
I probably need it!
Each shot took 50 takes? 📽️
Like I told another commenter, I made #18 on the first attempt. Give that one a try and let me know how it goes for you.
czcams.com/video/sA3JH9kLb_g/video.html
There wasn't a single shot that took me 50 tries.
Yeah you need to tell people what you doing not just show off shots they are pretty impressive
There's more info in the pinned comment
Now shoot them all without stopping the video. Let's see how many you miss! Who knows if you made it the first time or if it took you 20 tries.
You could say the same thing about making a movie or a show - it wouldn't be very enjoyable to watch if they included nothing but first takes.
What kinda Cue and Tip are you using ?
@@Chris-mw8dr It's a Predator with a Victory tip. Sorry for the ultra delayed response. Not sure how I missed your comment.
