Any of the accu-stat semi finals or finals. Just pick your favorite players. Might depend on what you like to see. 8 and outs or a lot of moving.

Best match to learn from is Jimmy Fusco vs Jimmy Rempe. Bentivegna is the commentator. Listen to every word he says, and then buy all the other accustats he is commentating on. That tape is my number one of any tape, be it instructional or matches.
For instructional, get the Willie Joplings tapes. 2 of them. He goes over lots of individual moves. If you actually practice his moves, and not just watch the video, you will have a very large arsenal of shots to select from.
Freddies commentary is more about game strategies than individual moves. But you definitely need both!

Anyone ever seen the Cliff Joyner Killer One Pocket set of DVDs? Couldn't find much on them in the past threads. Seem to be fairly short length DVDs. Thanks.
Also add to the list Freddy The Beards DVD Set, lots of 1 Pocket, Bank Pool Shots.
I second the motion, for Willie Jopling's One Pocket dvds. They are a wealth of information, from someone who has played one-pocket for more than 50 years, with the best players in the country. He does not have a website, but he advertises in the Billiards Digest every month, and you can order them through his ads.

Get Pro Skill Drills - Volume 6 if you are serious about one pocket. It is a complete set of one pocket specific drills designed to bring your cue ball control to a new level.
I enjoy watching high level one pocket and looking for moves also, but you need to execute them when it comes time.
This dvd will show you many things to practice that will allow your game to get better faster.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Here is the best information for One Pocket IMO, Bill Marshall, AKA Willie Jopling DVD. Cliff Joyner is a complete waste of time and money.

Beards banking books helped my one pocket tremendously.

I've been recently wanting to learn some one pocket so this thread is of interest to me, I will definitely check out the Jopling DVDs and some of the matches mentioned.
Also, I came across the Cliff Joyner/Wade Crane DVDs. I was expecting good things, since I've seen Cliff play quite a bit and he's a great all around player. However, as much as I wanted to like them the content is weak, Wade Crane keeps repeating himself and rephrasing everything and there's just not a lot of content there. I really wanted a front to back tutorial that would tell me general strategies so I know what I should be looking to do, not specific one-off shots that I already know from playing 9-ball... As mentioned, I think I may try to get a book or two and then just watch some matches and listen to the commentary.

I'm looking to invest in buying some one pocket DVD's also. Any more recommendations?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Funny this should come up, because I have a stack of 1pocket DVDs on my desk at the moment. I'm going to the DCC next week and one of the things I like to do before "jumping into the deep end" is watch a few matches to kind of refresh my thinking. So I have this stack of maybe 20 DVDs, and yesterday I shuffled through them and here's what I put at the top of the stack:
Efren vs Buddy
Efren vs Shannon
Steve Cook vs Mizerak
Joyner vs Gabe
The thing is, the way I unconsciously sorted them was not a question of the quality of the match, per se, but more a matter of seeing different thinking and styles and watching the players I consider to be the best.
Speaking just generally, and having watched most of the Accu-Stats 1pocket library, IMO the most insightful 1pocket commentator is Billy. The best commentary team was Billy and Grady -- you would often get two totally different takes on a particular shot situation and both could articulate a valid justification for what they were thinking. The most entertaining 1pocket commentator is Freddy, particularly the commentary he did on several matches at the Kalamazoo US Open 1pocket tournament one year. Really funny stuff

If you sign up for Accu-Stats video of the month club it gives you a significant discount on the videos. Every month they'll send you a video for $10+shipping and you can purchase any additional videos for $10 (on most accustats videos) Plus you can tell Pat what you are interested in (1 pocket :thumbup
and he'll only send you those videos. You can call every month and tell him what match you'd like or they can send you one that they pick out. All in all not a bad deal for $10 a month.
