    DCC one pocket speed-up rule

    Ronnie Allen played one ball one pocket for significant money. 🤷‍♂️ 4 ball one pocket could be interesting. Well of course keep the shot clock but shorten it. Short Rack Short Clock. 🤔 (Has a good rhythm, but can You Dance to it?) Make sure to enunciat the l in clock. 😉

    The physical performance after solving the equation separates pool from chess. When I am playing my best I am devoting every available brain cell to the execution. At the handshake, I only can recall the last shot. Even at that I had to look to confirm when my opponent said, "you shot that left...

    Having a sparing partner can make for significant growth. I had a Tuesday night $3 nine ball game until close. 30 to 40 dollar swings of the score. Played maybe 16 weeks with me ahead in the score. My partner earned a 7-8 finish in the next Reno Sands 9 ball. 🤷‍♂️ Go figure.

    Coles lesson on the break was, " the break is about precision, not power." He broke with his ivory ferrule Ed Joss.

    One last thing 😉. The intimate control of whitey can be attained most red dilly, looking at the point of the strike to whitey. The focus is on the path of the tip through whitey starting at that point. Building the shot backwards from final rest of all involved balls to the cueball. 3 ball...

    "The discipline that makes the soldiers of a free country reliable in battle, is not to be obtained through harsh or tyrannical treatment." The Australian billiards champion only got 1 ball For A Month! Go back to the Basics and build the other hand. Period, it's a fitness thing. 😉 Please excuse 😉

    Gives me a flashback to a 3 rail kick to win a Doubles game. My opponent had ball in hand in 8 ball with an open table. He was So Smug when he played safe and hooked me on our one remaining ball. The 3 rail kick fell right into my daily fitness wheelhouse. 🤷‍♂️

    Trying to remember how the one ball one pocket was played. I was immersed in Butte creek when Ronnie Allen and The Monk put on a performance at Team Players in Chico. The owner had deep pockets and paid for the show by backing Ronnie. 🤷‍♂️ The hot story involved amazing shots by Ronnie that...
