    Happy Birthday Tom Wirth

    Hi gang, sorry I've been so long in responding to all your kind b'day wishes for me. Let me tell you of my last 36hours. Starting at about 11:30 am a steady student, friend, and supporter of my book, and I went to lunch. We followed that up with a 2 or 2 1/2 hour one pocket lesson. I then...

    I played my first 3 games of one pocket tonight...

    I find it interesting how many here feel One Pocket is a slow game. I suppose it is when compared to nine ball but the two games are very different in that things don't change much in a rack of nine ball once the balls are broken where as in a game of One Pocket the landscape can change rapidly...

    One Pocket

    Geese was very superstitious. If something went wrong, he would look around and find "the black cat" guy that caused the problem. I was there once when he pointed to who he chose as his current target, when I provided the "Geese" with an old Indian luck chant. Oh-Wa-Ta-Goo-Sy-Am. I told him...

    One Pocket

    Absolutely bbb and Gold Crown! My book is the best book on One Pocket ever produced! It puts "Up scale" to shame, and "Winning One Pocket" is a great book, but it focuses on stories far more than it does One Pocket theory. It is out of print, and if you can find one, be prepared to spend...

    If you are bunting the balls alot, you aren't playing the game properly. Relocate the balls that are dangerous to you either into areas that help you or into areas that are more neutral. Protect the balls that are now helpful to your cause by sticking the cue ball behind balls that block your...

    Philly, I understand. It is always easier to talk about it than it is to actually do it. No one ever said it would be easy but we all start somewhere and set long term goals and short tern goals which lead us in the right direction. I understand that SVB, one of the finest pool players in this...

    Your objections are understood Philly and I accept that you are entitled to your opinion as am mine. I have played a lot of both nine ball and one pocket at a very high level and I can tell you that one of the goals a top class nine ball player shoots for during an open rack is to hit the next...

    Play One Pocket to improve in every game

    Philly, One Pocket used to be the old man's game but no more. Take a look at who's playing the game at the highest levels now. Alex P. Scott Frost, Justin Hall just to name a few. And if you asked any of them which game they would prefer to play for big money, I'd have to wager they would all...

    Wow guys! Some of you got it, kind of. Others don't get it at all. When I walked into a pool room for the first time I obviously didn't know one thing about pool. I knew none of the rules of any of the games. I had no idea how to hold a cue stick or stand at the table. I did know which was the...

    My pleasure, Rick. Thanks for the order and your support. Most importantly, thanks for your interest in One Pocket. I want, in my small way, to help expose its greatness to everyone. It is the most imaginative pool game there is. Tom

    Do you drink alcohol when playing?

    Try Vodka and carrot juice. You can get drunk but still see good.
