A number of customers who have purchased my Hardback edition have not received confirmation emails. This is because paypal has not provided email addresses with the notifications. Please, if you have purchased a book or plan to purchase one, include your email address in the notes section so I...

You all know of my spiral bound book, “One Pocket: A Game Of Controlled Aggression” It is in its eight year of publication and still in demand. This version is great for those of you wishing to improve your game. By taking the 80 plus lessons to a table and opening the book to the specific...

I haven't read all the replied which have been posted and I apologize if I happen to be reiterating someone else's post but here goes. My first thought is; Can this three rail bank run short? in other words can i cause the object ball to bank into the top rail and have the ball run three rails...

I;ve only seen pictures of the table but It definitely has snooker rails. It is a 9ft. Brunswick anniversary. I know, Snooker tables are 10 and 12 ft long. I think it is a conversion. Beautiful looking table though.

Well I received the proof a few days ago and the printing company now has the "go ahead" to start printing the hardbound version of "Controlled Aggression". They say ten days till completion. I don't know why it takes so long. Maybe it's goes onto a production line. Anyway, once the 150 copies...

Turns out that the table is a 9ft Anniversary with snooker rails. I'm told the table is currently in the Detroit area but will be moved to south Florida for set up. The rubber on the rails need replacing so it is probably best to have that done in Detroit. Not many mechanics who work on snooker...

That's true, Bill. As the object ball becomes located further from the side rail there is more room to negotiate the path of both cue ball and object ball. The object ball along the top rail and somewhere between the first diamond and middle diamond is ideal. Again, nice post! Tom

This very shot is in my book, "One Pocket: A Game Of Controlled Aggression" Here is a screen shot and analysis of the situation. Image 3.3 shows the ball path and image 3.4 above, shows the result with the pocketed ball spotted. Had the one ball fallen you would be shooting for the win...

Update! 8. 15. 23 The proof copy of the hardback edition of "Controlled Aggression" is on its way and due to arrive sometime this Thursday 8.17.23 Once I have the proof in hand I can review it and with fingers crossed I hope all is as it needs to be. I can then set the ball in motion for the...

Yikes! Did this thread ever go sideways right from the start! Looking back it seems kind of funny how we can let things get out of hand so easily. In the end and in most cases we come to our senses and work it out amicably. I do appreciate the gesture. Thank you! As Rodney King would say...

Tom...of course I was joking but did not put a LOL because my post was meant to highlight your expertise. Your book, instructional comments on One Pocket.org, comments here, etc., show how professional you are and your willingness to pour your heart into the game and into educating others...

Hey Joe, If as the other guys say, you were kidding I'm sorry it went over my head. I tend to get pretty serious about this subject and my sense of humor sometimes deserts me. Cheers, Tom

You're probably right bbb, I guess I get a little sensitive when it comes to this certification business.

Tom, I have one of the first copies of your One Pocket book. Excellent in all aspects especially the value. But pool lessons are different. Your lessons are underpriced and to me that means low quality....sorry but I'm going to look for a 'Certified Instructor'. Joe, I don't know how you can...

Yes, okay. First of all, there must be a meeting of the minds between myself and my student. That is, there must be a mutual understanding and appreciation for the communication that comes from our listening to each other. So the first lesson is as much about getting to know one another as it is...
