One Pocket is so slow....

[GoldCrown]

1p is so slow.... I was trying to record a match with a camcorder. I had to buy an extra 4 hour battery.

Also I tried to record a shot in slo-mo mode...the camera bounced back and read You have been recording in slo-mo. No need to reset anything.

always nail down the rules

Always nail down the rules before matching up:

Are we playing base of the ball or edge of the ball?

Base is fine.

3 foul?

Sure.

What do we do in the event of our sun exploding?

(shrugs) Pro-rate...

If you think 1P is slow, change/add some rules. OF COURSE it would be for your game with friends.
Never know, you might come up with a fine game.

Here's a quick suggestion: "2 Pocket"
Once end pockets are established, the players also have the opposite corner pockets.

I'd make one change to 1p to help speed it up. After contact the CB or OB has to contact 2 rails or it's a foul

1p is so slow:

- I was arrested for loitering..twice
- the referee quit AND demanded back pay

I LOVE this thread!!!
But I have to admit after the AZB Best Pool Matches thread
I bought a One pocket DVD.
Efren vs Alex Semi's
and Efren vs. Jason Miller. Final 2006 Derby City.
.....
After his loss J. Miller will never post in this thread! Lol
Efren was awesome. And........... FAST!!

One Pocket is so slow that even Eklent Kaci thinks it is slow.

One Pocket is so slow...:boring2:
HOW!.. SLOW!.. IS!.. IT!?
It's so slow, I watched my son birth then I watched his sons birth.
It's so slow, I was able to retire twice... in two lifetimes.
It's so slow, our Solar System rotated once around the Milky Way.

"How's the 1-P game going?"

"Great. I did 8 on the first try."

"You ran 8 balls on your first try?"

"No, I did 8 miles per hour."

One pocket is so slow......
...overheard in a four ahead set....

...I’d like to finish before my son gets his PHD

Well, you’d better hurry up then.....your kid’s almost eight years old.

 

[GoldCrown]

And to repeat .... its slower than a snail with airbrakes.

 

[chefjeff]

Are you going to play some 1-pocket Sunday?

No, the weather's gonna be nice so I'm staying home to graze the grass.

We tired to open a One Pocket Pool Hall,
but the only place the zoning commission would allow it
was in the Red Light District.

Watch the one pocket match between Tony Chohan and Chip Compton.
The first 3 games took just over (I believe) 8 minutes. The 4th game was longer. it took just over 3 minutes. Their whole match was this way.
If you left to take a rest room break, you could have missed all 4 games.I know this is not normal, but it shows that one pocket can move quickly.

Here's an architectural drawing of the player's chair for our 1-P room we wanted to open:

Pretty nice, eh?

When somebody says to me that One Pocket is too slow I always reply:

"Shoot at your hole more, I promise it'll go much faster"
