Seriously???? You actually think a book is going to make non-players get into the game?????? They need to see good players in action and then play it themselves. If you don't get this then i don't really know what else to tell you.

Tell them it is the chess game of pool and that it is the most creative game on a pool table. In One Pocket you will see shots that you won't see in any other game. Only the very best players excel at this game. If you want to see how advanced player think and play just watch some high level One Pocket match. Hope this helps you in your quest. Just keep going and you will find the words you want to share with others.
Honestly, what helps the most is bringing a young guy to a big match and let him see a big pile of cash.

Good to know you are serious, Thank you...
Don't get your feelings hurt.
Just coz something is new to you doesn't mean it's new to anybody else.
What is your source?
Why not?

I read your post, Thanks for your knowledge... Guy
Of course we all like pool. That's why we're here.
Of course fans of anything want that thing to be better

Do you not understand that you tell all the time on this forum...
What is trolling to you ? Trying to learn someing from someone...
I love the game for a variety of reasons and have made several converts among my friends, acquaintances, and opponents. I agree with Jay about the "chess game of pool", but with allowance for more creativity. Chess pieces have limitations to their moves, in 1p, any ball can be played in any way.
As a matter of practical application (and how I entice and encourage others to play), playing it can improve safety play in other games significantly. Both in execution and recognition/creativity, I played primarily bar box 8 ball when I took it up (2007ish) and noticed my safety play improve, immediately.
I now live in the sticks and don't play any sort of league or have a pool hall close. I do have free run of the neighbors' table, but no one to play. I found that I got terribly sloppy with most games 8-ball or rotation playing alone for awhile, but, with 1p strategy being so pivotal and involved, I find that I can play both "players" without the same let down.
Good luck on the book!

Don't be a biatch.
You ask for 'all the information'? How could you possibly ever digest it all?
Additionally, you do NOT communicate in a manner that is largely understood on this forum.
How in the hell are you going to write a book that' anyone is going to understand, much less one that convinces people to like something they currently do not like?

Thank you for that in the book I'm just trying to find forum players that are positive for creating a world of viewing for the public, Using member comments to put together readable simple information to draw the viewing public more closely to the games of pool... Guy
Right.. so you're not actually writing a book, you just want to copy and paste posts from azb.
We are just a bunch of fun-loving criminals here, but believe me when I make things up.
Guy…. Write what comes into your mind and have a friend critique it. Why 1p. It takes a while to understand it. It’s boring and confusing to a non player. My .02 is Tom Wirth’s book One Pocket Controlled Aggression explains it best. You can read that but it’s his info you would be borrowing it
How dare you. I worked hard for a living. I ain’t never stole nothin. Nothin!!
An interesting point
Why would anybody write a book about a subject that they know little to nothing about? More importantly, why would they expect that anybody would read it?
