Depends on what I've got going on at the time. I'm currently working on Diamond's new one pocket 9ft ProAm, getting ready to introduce it to the public.
I'm interested CJ, put me on the list for your Alignment and Aiming info!!!
The Best Stance I've ever been introduced to allows you to fine tune your aiming system with your BODY.....if you don't have the feeling that you could "aim with your feet", you have great room for improvement...it's like being a rifle marksman, you can get away with no sights on your gun from short distances, but what about the long ones? I still shoot long shots off the end rail effectively because of this alignment technique..... as they say "knowledge creates power" and that's certainly correct when shooting long shots ...It's like getting "new eyes"

I see....does this new table just have 2 pockets?
Yes, but it's more a 3 in 1 9ft ProAm with different rails available that can be switched in out in about 10 minutes. Here's the table in the billiard version.
That's really cool, you mean you can have a 3 Cushion Table, a 2 pocketed one pocket table AND a regular table and it's only a 10 minute conversion? I have to admit that's impressive.... I may have to get one of those one day.
In MY game of one pocket....points are acquired based on the shot made, not by the ball count
Straight in is only worth 1 point, one rail banks are worth 2 points, multi rail banks are worth the total number of banks plus 1 point bonus for banking....meaning a 3 rail bank is worth 4 points. Fouls are -1 point, 3 consecutive fouls is -15 points. Call safe, shoot a ball in your opponents corner, ball spots up and you pay a foul of -1 point. All games are played to 50, 75, or 100 points. After the first break, all re-racks are done after 14 balls have been pocketed, leaving the cue ball and the 15th ball where they lay, unless they are in the way of racking, in which case, 14-1 racking rules would apply
interesting
that is very interesting, i like it

Think of it like this, say you have a pool room with 16 Diamond 9ft ProAm's set up for playing pool, but a couple of times a year you promote several huge 'ASIAN' one pocket tournaments....all you'd have to do to get ready for the events....is rent 16 sets of one pocket or billiard rails, change rails the day before, and you're ready for your tournaments
those pockets look tighter than the TAR tables.

That sounds like a really good game.....there isn't much luck and the best player would win....that may be the only issue LoL

This is a cool game... It needs a short name to catch on. Say like "14-1 One Pocket" etc

Well, if you look at it from my point of view, my reasons are to cross breed straight rail billiards and pocket pool into a more common game that can be played by all, joining the masses. . . into playing against each other in Asian, Hispanic, Korean, or American pool rooms, without a language barrier, because it's played by the same rules everywhere
PS, the game is played with 15 yellow object balls, and a red circle cue ball.

Sounds good up to the part about 15 yellows. That's no good. Don't you want contrasting colors and stripes to make aiming and seeing edges easier?
Just my two cents..but I like the concept...

How about if you just wanted to take the sides off and play with just 4 corners? ... I think rotation games would be better in some ways with no sides....some Pro. players consider the sides to be more like "bail out areas".

As far as the table design is concerned, could the rails be designed like an "[" or a "]"? So you have only 1 rail with 2 different set of cushions on each. This way you don't have to store the extra set.
That would be too cool.
Personally, I would like 1 set with really tight pockets (4") and the flip side would be (4.5").

We're not talking about exchanging the cushions, the whole top rails/skirts/cushions and all change out for a different set of top rails which are dedicated to the game being played
