You are so illiterate...
Didn't bother you when I called you a skinflint but got your feathers ruffled when I point out there are plenty of lowbrows playing golf. Are you 1 of those chipping/putting free range ball guys?
How is the quality on these? I assume fine… but the printing costs are only part of the unit economics for bringing a book to market.

It was similar to one pocket except that the two pockets were on the head rail, not the foot rail. It started off as an up-table game.
I have not played Golf since I was a Teen, but have been to PHA& Senior PGA events many time s for work.
People there HAVE expendable dollars to spend.
Maybe that is why there event HSVE Sponsors, and Advertisers like BMW, Mercedes, Rolex, Banks, and investment firms.
Poll dont, CASE RESTED.

True and you missed point. Golf had the clout to attractor sponsors even at local level.
Pool is 180 can’t attract much.
A Pro Golfet can earn more in a weekend if they win major, then most Pro Pool Player make in lifetime.
Everyone is a nit who doesn’t buy one and he doesn’t like nits according to his pool uniform.
Don’t think One Pocket is a game most Pool players line up to play, not sure what is least popular, 1PKT, or Banks?
Bonus ball is least popular.
Forgot about that.
i'm not american so difficult to gauge, but banks seems like a regional game? one pocket seems to be played from coast to coast, probably more than banks or 14.1? more than most games one pocket is a game where certain shots / moves warrants a book. 9-ball is pretty self explanatory
As players age out of the pure shot-making wars of 9-ball, a lot gravitate toward one pocket because it rewards patience, knowledge, and trap-setting over explosive break-and-run packages. It’s more move for move, almost like chess with balls. You can lose the cue ball by an inch, and the game turns. That kind of nuance tends to appeal to seasoned players who have logged decades around a table. In contrast, younger players often grow up in a tournament culture shaped by speed formats: 9-ball, 10-ball, short races, shot clocks, alternate break. The rhythm is different. One pocket demands a longer attention span and a willingness to grind for small advantages.
Some European players have historically shown a strong appreciation for the strategic side of one pocket, even if it’s more of a U.S.-rooted gambling discipline. I was talking to Tom Wirth a while back who told me he was competing in an annual one-pocket tournament in the Netherlands. Nick van den Berg won. Alex Lely came in third. Tom didn't fare as well, but he had a blast.
Railbirds who want fireworks feel that one pocket is too slow. But to the initiated and seasoned railbirds like me, every nudge, every two-rail bank, every stack move is drama. Sweating a high-level one-pocket match isn't about noise. It's about tension. The silence before a player decides whether to take on a thin back-cut bank or lay another trap? That's the good stuff. It is truly a game of taste. If you love it, you really love it.
