There is no sights where the side pockets have been removed in photo. April Fools,
Diamond Billiards Products has manufactured the world's first One-Pocket Table.
Still is. It's not a One Pocket table, though. The game that's played on it is call Corners.
It is very similar to One Pocket except the foot spot is at the head of the table. :smile:

Look on the bright side. Now there is a whole other strategy for you to ponder. You love pondering one pocket moves Crown. :thumbup:
I think it is an April Fools joke, but the OP didn't realize that the board has too many curmudgeons that would call him on the technicality.
There was Pool Hall in Joplin Missouri that had two of them for years & years. They were Gold Crowns I believe.
I don't know what happened to them, when the Pool Room was destroyed by a Tornado in 2011
You couldn't get on the tables, the customers were stacked & ready to play.
What was the Pool Room's name that used to be an old Safeway Store... that was where I saw the tables. I live in Oklahoma & was told that this room was taken by the Tornado.
Isn't Fast Teddy's a billiard supply store? Ok Bar & Billiards is north, towards downtown. They're still open. 1516 S. Main. Have you ever been to Ok B&B? FastTeddy's is closer to I-44, like i said it's a supply store afaik.

I guess that game is about dead. They used to have two of the 2-holers but i guess they needed room for something that makes money. Can't blame them. It is a cool joint, one of a rapidly dying breed. I live in Tulsa and always stop in when in the area. J-Town used to have pretty good action but just couldn't make it.Yes, you're right. My mistake.
Here's the real poop, not the April Fool's Day poop.
Ok Bar and Billiards is the place on Main St. (Joplin) where the Corners table is. And, it is a Brunswick. A Brunswick Monarch. There is only one and it sits in the corner by the front door. The edge of the May, 2011 tornado was a half a block south and did not appreciably damage the Ok.
The pool room in the old Safeway store was gone seven, or eight years ago.
I was in the OK about four years ago but got confused as to the name. Probably the medication.
It would be interesting to know if this is the only remaining Corners (One Pocket) table
left in the world.![]()
This is Photoshopped. Look at the balls. They're playing Ten Ball. The break was not a one pocket break.
