    The Art of One Pocket

    If you have not yet bought the book, you can consider your hat in the ring too, for a free copy on me as long as you would be willing to read it and submit a thoughtful review here. I'll pick two AZ regulars out of this thread for a freebie review copy in the next day or so.

    Yes, but since he bought one, two spots are still available 😁 Lou is perfect though, because you know he’s going to put thought into it and get to the gist!

    The Art of One Pocket

    I'll send out two books -- one book to someone who is interested in One Pocket but isn't really a One Pocket player -- yet. And the other book to someone who is a One Pocket player. Whoever is interested, please nominate yourself and let me know which camp you most fit, and I will pick two of...

    The Art of One Pocket

    Well, there have been plenty of reviews over there, as well as on Facebook. I just wanted to give the AZ community a free shot.

    The Ladies of pool, where are they now?

    Grace Nakamura -- I know she competed, but I'm not sure how far back.

    The Ladies of pool, where are they now?

    Near Philly was where she grew up too. It turns out my parents and her parents were friends or neighbors, but my parents moved away before I was born.

    Can I question my Fargo rating?

    Bob -- don't both the methods that you describe here actually rely on the same sort of system, which is relative records of players against other players? The way you describe it sounds like it is just that one focuses more on recent and the other is more cumulative? I don't know how you are...

    Best belt type chalk holder

    I had a really nice folding leather magnetic holder, but it grew legs after a couple of years. A guy around Houston made it. But the replacements he had I did not like the leather at all, so I ended up taking black Gorilla tape and two earth magnets (one on each side of the fold) and making one...

    Anybody have any experience trying to switch your dominant eye?

    Oh I got eye exams for sure -- two different docs :oops: And new glasses too -- one pair specifically for pool (trifocal progressive like 12" -12' range overall). What I have is not cataracts, but macular scarring (not macular degeneration), and they only want to operate if it is a lot more...

    Anybody have any experience trying to switch your dominant eye?

    So a little update. I watched the sight right videos and maybe that would help. I tried the mesh patches but did not like them and felt like they didn’t help either. Maybe if I wore them everywhere for a week or do my mind would adjust, but I did not go that far. What I finally stumbled on...

    Replacing touched balls

    That's why for the Official OnePocket.org Rules for One Pocket, you still have a restoration option even if two balls are moved. For 3 or more balls moved, we consider that a serious foul and the penalty escalates. The references are here: https://www.onepocket.org/rules/ And the pertinent...

    How to embed a video in your post -- and why!!

    I just wanted to mention there is a wonderful advantage to watching your YouTube video directly from the forum, rather than following the link to YouTube to watch it there. The reason is ads -- or shall I say actually, LACK OF ADS!!!! YouTube is horrific for the number of ad interruptions --...

    Is gambling required at the higher skill levels?

    Yup, that is the point. Otherwise, 99% of the time that you play for nothing, both players play like they don't value it. That's fine for casual socializing or practicing new things. I can count on one hand players that I have known over the years that I felt like we competed seriously without...

    Anybody have any experience trying to switch your dominant eye?

    Anyone tried sightright?? It apparently is a system that uses a laser for training?? Popular with Snooker players, even top pros based on their website anyway.

    Anybody have any experience trying to switch your dominant eye?

    Yes, that too -- but I'm hoping to train my stronger eye to take over the dominance no matter what my center of vision is. I watched your first link a few weeks ago, when I first started to notice how bad the difference had got, and I just rewatched it again -- thank you, you always do a jam up...

    Anybody have any experience trying to switch your dominant eye?

    Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for!

    Anybody have any experience trying to switch your dominant eye?

    You mean re-test for dominant eye? The standard is to look through a small hole at a distant object and then close one eye at a time to see which one you are consistently lined up with. I've been doing that, and that still comes up as my left eye, but the issue is my left is not nearly as sharp...
