Fishing is now my go to. Haven't touched a cue in over 2 years but still like to keep up and surf the forums.

Changes to the DCC aren't what its all about. It's meant to be attended and experienced. There are still people upset it went from a hotel to a casino several years ago.

I think I will stick with Suicidal Tendencies version. They are way under rated. Not for everybody.

Truman was a staple at the old Bank Shot that used to be down on Preston there in Louisville. He was always out at Bryan Roberts place, Rack 66. I always jokingly gave him hell and he always returned it with a laugh and a smile. He had a story if you had the time to listen. I nicknamed him the...

One you dont see mentioned very often is Swift. I really like the one I had him build me. Not the fanciest but it protects the cue and looks good doing it.

Diamond is the greatest mediocre table on the planet. Leave those Gold Crowns alone.

https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/the-art-of-one-pocket-by-steve-booth.563415/ Well I finally had time to do my review. I really liked the book overall and would recommend it. I added a link above to my review. I tried to keep it short and concise but if you have any questions please feel...

The traps and escapes section should be very useful for a beginner to mid level player. While some of the moves take a lot of practice and letting the cue ball loose, Steve also touches on subtle moves where you barely move the cue ball that beginning players may not realize. When teaching the...

So I had the chance to read the book “The Art of One Pocket” by Steve Booth over the winter and I have to say I am fairly impressed. A little about me. I have been playing since a teenager but once I got into my 40’s it became all about one pocket and also giving back To other players. I play...

Gilbert makes an excellent cue. If you can get one of his SS jointed cues I would highly recommend it. His fit and finish is also excellent and if you want one built, my dealing with them was top notch.

Since I live here and attend Derby every year, I too would prefer Buffalos 1 pocket tournament.

Well between work being a bear and the start of deer season (should have taken the book to the field to have something to look at since the deer didn’t show up), I have managed the beginning and the first 2 chapters. A couple of things I want to note so far: 1. Steve calls out some other books...

Mine should be here tomorrow. Anxious to disect and review it.

Great offerings. I am still researching and the reviews all seem to be good. If chosen I will definitely do a review on it and post my thoughts.

Looking for some new reading and was considering The Art Of One Pocket by Booth. My question, is it worth the $70 asking price? Yes? No? Thoughts? I have A Game of Controlled Agression by Wirth and of course the 2 Holy Grails Winning One Pocket and Shots Moves and Strategies.
