Awesome videos and shots. I plan on trying a few when I practice today.
Not trying to be difficult here, but are all of these shots meant to be practical? While they are all ingenious some of them seem like shots to take only if the stars aligned.
I'll defer to Tom and other experts, and will accept their answer.
To answer your question I would have to say all the shots you see in the videos are at least worth consideration given the situation as long as the shooter has the knowledge and experience required to execute the shots with a better than average consistency. That means most of these shots require practice to become proficient.
One of the primary reasons I have chosen these shots, and there are certainly more to come, is to help promote imaginative ideas in the heads of players who are without a great deal of One Pocket experience. Feed your head with wild thoughts of shots no one has ever seen before. Take your ideas to a table and have fun attempting to execute your shots. Be a mad scientist and use the pool table as your Frankenstein Laboratory. Have fun and learn more from having made errors. Study more carefully what is happening when one variable to the shot is changed even slightly. There is so much out there and One Pocket allows and even encourages students of the game to expand their thinking. Get out of the box that the other games have penned so many players into.
One Pocket is the only pool game that allows for this kind of experimentation because it isn't always the objective to pocket balls. Moving balls out of one area and into other areas that are more advantageous to your cause is often the better strategy.
Thanks to all who have purchased my book and who frequent my youtube channel and facebook pages. For me it is all about promoting the game of Champions. It is the game I love, One Pocket.
