Dear Gentle Readers,

How about perking up our sedate game a tad? Put a little pep in its step? Add some tazz to the razzma?

We don’t need speakers and subwoofers that make your ears bleed. Just so long as the floor vibrates and you can feel the beat in your soul. Then we’re good to go-go.

A ten-second shot clock to nudge the pace along a bit.

Let’s see … a minimum of, say, five object balls must hit a rail on the break.

No need for disco balls … technicolor overheads will suffice in place of those dreary over-the-table relics.

It is imperative, naturally, to preserve the integrity of the game while simultaneously respecting its history.

I’m just spitballing here … others of you will have additional improvement ideas.

Innovation is my life,

Sunny

P. S. The subject of dress codes is, of course, so pivotal that it demands an independent thread. Advance hint: no bow ties with those tiny flashing strobes, tempting as that concept may be.

Thus spaketh Sunny.

1-pocket is fine as is. If you don't have the patience for it, dont play.

We finally finished our 1-P match yesterday...when we returned the balls to the counter, a customs agent arrested us for using ivory balls.

Who knew?

Dit to the to...
One pocket is for thinkers. A 10 second shot clock?!?! Whaaaat the fu...?!?!
5 balls to the rail on the break? Man, you are seriously off your rocker! Of course, you probably already knew the responses you'd get so you posted to stir things up. I'll bet you got stuck in the corner a lot in school, didn't you?
 
Speed One-pocket.... Isn't that an oxymoron?

A shot clock might be feasible in a tournament setting, but nobody who plays would be likely to adapt it.
 
Speed 1pkt. Sounds interesting. Knowledge would be king. Step up and shoot. I also play speed backgammon and find it interesting. Who wants to watch a slow player play anything?
