RKC, will they have any of these new tables ready for the DCC? Doc

3 rails is good if the player really knows the table. Otherwise it might be easier to kick uptable off the head rail, one or two rails behind the 7. The bank would be viable if the CB weren't froze to the rail. Doc

These are the only two examples I've ever heard of where one of the players wants to use a jump cue. There are some reasonable "hop" type shots usable in 1P, which Grady Matthews has amply demonstrated in his fine 1P videos; but these can easily be performed with one's regular pole. Jump cues...

Thanks for the tip, Scott. I'll contact Tom at that address. Doc

Scott, has there been any update on Shaw's book? I'd love to have every one of those "Legends" articles. What's the latest? Doc

That's correct, Joey. If a situation comes up which is not covered in the onepocket.org published rules, then the answer is sought from the WPA or BCA. Doc

Thanks for the Jewett link, Dave. I can see that a lot more work has to be done in order to understand the differences in playability between Diamonds and GC's.:D Cheers~ Doc

Hi JStarkweather-- "Membership" is not required on onepocket.org. You simply have to register a name and password. I think I see what is the intent of you question. You're just trying to illustrate a loop-hole in the rules that could be used to a player's advantage. The scenario you used...

Thanks for your reply, Dave. I realize that there are many different variables that affect rebound angles. But considering the single issue of cushion rubber softness: if all other facets are equal, could one hypothesize that a ball would rebound differently from a soft rubber cushion in...

Dave, I couldn't find info on your site about the difference in rebound angles on soft vs. firm cushions. Many people believe that Diamond tables bank shorter than do Gold Crowns. I assume that is due to the differences in cushion "give". It seems to me that softer cushions would allow...

I've been trying for two weeks to speak with the lead investigator again about putting the surveillance video on to YouTube. Despite a good history of communication, so far the officer has not returned my calls. I spoke today with the guy who has the recording of the suspect from the...

Good explanation, Justin. It's nice to get insights into how these things work. You and your guys always step up to the plate, and you never hit less than a triple. What an average! Doc

Here is the URL for the 1P and Banks HOF. There is a listing of all the inductees. Each Fall a candidates list is compiled by vote. Then the final inductees are selected by another vote. The criteria are explained on the site. ~Doc http://www.onepocket.org/fame.htm

Stacy is normally merely boring and embarrassing. When he's pilled up, as he apparently was in Mobile last weekend, he is completely insufferable. He apparently has delusions of grandeur, and believes he is Mr. Action. Most everyone stays clear of him, unless they feel like wasting time...

Troy, that's Darryl Biggart from Jackson. And your bud, Gary "The Little Arab" Abood would certainly have won the action award if they'd had one! He was in action constantly, and played the tournament as well. I really like his game. Getting only 9-6 from Frost is no picnic. Gary is already...

Good to hear that y'all are coming down. Jerry Brock called today, and he's coming. Could be some action on Sat. night.;) Y'all would be safe if you send your entry fees in. That would secure your spots. I have a feeling we'll get guys coming on 7/17 expecting to play, but the 32 spots...

KK9L, come on over to onepocket.org. You'll walk out of the darkness into the sunshine...:) Doc

Joey, reportedly John Schmidt is planning to play in the Surber Memorial 1P event in Gulfport on 7/17-18. So make sure you bring a little extra chalk with you...;) Also, Ray expressed an interest in streaming the Surber, so we'll see if that shakes out of the tree. Doc

Some "name" players are starting to sign up: Jerry Brock, Gary Abood, Mike Black, etc. Any of you one-pocket players in Dixie-- come on down. Everyone will have a chance to cash. Even JoeyA...;) Doc

There are still spots left. If the flier is erased it can be seen in the Tournament Announcements section on June 30. MIKE SURBER MEMORIAL ONE-POCKET TOURNAMENT (Handicapped Tournament) Saturday/Sunday July 17th-18th, 2010 Calcutta at 11:00, Tournament at 12:00 Skeeter’s Billiards –...
