I have found yet another addiction in pool.....

1 Pocket Ghost said:
As far as loving to play one pocket as opposed to 9 ball, here's an interesting, never mentioned aspect of one pocket that I think is a big part of it's appeal ( I know for sure it's a big part of it for me ) > It appeals to independent thinkers and people not liking to be told what to do....What I mean by that is that in 9 ball you never, ever, have any choice in which ball you shoot at - the lowest number ball that's on the table is what you HAVE to shoot at - you don't get any choice in the matter - for me, for that reason, 9 ball has always seemed restrictive, and same-old, same-old......But in one pocket ( and straight pool and banks also ) you can do anything you want and shoot at any ball that you want, exercising that good old American freedom of choice............And so, then, 9 ball is the communist pool game ! ^_^

Ok now if all of the 9 ball players attack me, I hope all of you one pocket players have got my back ^_^

I couldn't break an egg either! I heard that one from Earl The Pearl at the open last year. He was talking to Keith.
When you gonna head this way?
jaz and his wife were here two weeks ago and jhendri2 will be here tomorrow.
He is flying in from Oklahoma. I also hooked up with McDogit a couple of weeks ago. The forum is a great way to meet and greet.

I play both games and I don't think 1h is hurting my 9b game at all. As a matter of fact, I think it really adds to my 9b game. I totally agree with the poster that said you have to stroke properly in 1h instead of using the nip and tuck stroke all the time. There are situations in 1h where you have to shoot with a shorter stroke because of what you want to do with the cb, but for the most part, you should be able to shoot with the same stroke you use in 9b. I watched Buddy Hall play in the 1h tournament in Sacramento where he won beating Joiner, Palmer and Parica just to name a few and his 1h stroke looks just like his 9b stroke. Of course he's got one helluva stroke anyway!

And you won't...OK, I'll give you the 3 but I get the break, I rack, and I also get one hand width on any ball on the table before each of your shots as well as mine. :D
