One Pocket Sub-Forum Needed Here?

I know that the general answer here has been that AZ Billiards will not start a 1P forum as long as 1P.org. is around but that site is getting really bad. Here is an example of a so called what would you do. A 3 cushion billiard player now fancies himself the resident expert on one pocket (since Freddy died) and starts incomprehensible threads every day and calls people names when they don't understand or agree with what he writes.

Here's his current layout with his written post included:

WWYD after the shot I played?


I'm interested I knowing how some of the viewers would return fire after my, "desperate and aggressive" choice of shots?

If you reply, and if it's possible post a diagram so maybe everyone can get a, "visual" of your reply!

I'd be REAL curious to see the replies!

P.S. Everyone, the second 1 ball you see sitting close to MY pocket, is where the 1 ball ended up after I BANKED it and went around the table with the CB 4 cushions!

First of all, you would wonder why a guy would show what he shot and then ask what you would do. Why doesn't he just show the final resting place of the balls and ask?

Secondly, he wrongly labeled "your pocket" and chastised guys who were confused and tried to point it out. He actually banked the 1 at your pocket as it is labeled.

Thirdly, he claims he can actually bank the 1 ball like that and have the cueball travel 4 rails and anyone who disagrees with him is called a fool or worse.

It's time for a 1 pocket forum here.

I don't think he gets that much distance for the cb, related to the 1b's movement.

And , I'd prefer to leave the cb on the end rail-where he has to shoot a combo- anyway.

Bill's in his own world, one with no pockets...though he might be king there.
 
That wont happen!!!

I see a lot of people posting these once in a lifetime shots and I don't get it? I know they never shot them and I know that they wouldn't try them for the cash.
 
i am bolding this post because i feel very strongly about what i have to say
i do not mean to offend anyone
and if you look thru my history its not my style
i have beem a long time member of onepocket.org
are you???
i post as lll at that site
onepocket.org is a great site with alot of knowledge to be shared and learned about the game
your post a shot selection that most on the site did not agree with in tthe thread it was posted....in that first thread there were other shots discussed
heres a link to that thread
http://www.onepocket.org/forum/showthread.php?t=9300
although most did not agree with that method to get behind the 2 ball the members did offer reasonable replies from that position
i dont see you posting over at onepocket.org
maybe i missed you posts
if you are umhappy with whats happennng over there why dont you post a what wokld you do thread or participate in a constructive manner
all sites have "issues" they have to deal with
and if a member becomes a problem its dealt with by the administrators
azb is very familiar with this issue
i am a VERY LOYAL member of the onepocket.org community
and I feell as a family we can take care of our problems
old nine baller coming over her to azb to bash onepocket.org and/or try to start a 1p forum is not the answer to me
try and be productive at onepocket.org

I'm not sure a 1pocket sub-forum is the bestest idea. Besides, folks have always posted 1pocket threads here anyway.

The issue with any one particular poster will have to be handled by the powers that be over there or he's going to eventually drive everyone else away.

The 3 cushion guy has started 19 of the last 47 threads over there. He argues with and chastises anyone & everyone who has a point of view different than his. He is rude, can't spell, omits complete words from his posts, constantly enlarges & emboldens his words like an 8 year old, he is admittedly not a 1 pocket player at all, he just hangs his hat on the few he's known.

Why would anyone in their right mind want to even attempt to contribute over there? If you like it then it's good for you.

nothing a whole lot different than here

People show up, post like hell and either settle down or go away. As for posting the absolutely or near impossible shots, that was pretty constant here too in response to the "what would you do" threads. Once in awhile people would come with interesting and feasible options. Often they were going seventeen rails and getting perfect speed and angle control, shots Mike Massey wouldn't try in an exhibition!

Not uncommon for the shots to defy physics either. It's a lot easier to draw lines than move balls around. I am one of the world's best shooting six rail timed shots on a wei table, not quite that good on a pool table!

My guess is that getting a dedicated one pocket forum here is a little less than zero as long as onepocket.org exists. Post your one pocket stuff on the main forum and it will either stay or go.

I wish I could move cue ball 3xs farther than object ball on greater than a 1/2 ball hit like that.:bow-down: He sounds like one of the worlds best key board pool players.
 
Trying to limit competition (I won't attack your territory if you won't attack mine) is never good for customers and rarely even good for the companies/industries.

If AZB had a one-pocket forum it could introduce a lot of new players to the game. When/if they get serious about 1P, they graduate to onepocket.org

More for everyone.

Quote from above: I wish I could move cue ball 3xs farther than object ball on greater than a 1/2 ball hit like that. He sounds like one of the worlds best key board pool players.

It must be the chalk!

This shot in my opinion is impossible to hit as drawn. The cue ball simply can not travel that distance while the one ball ends up in the position shown.

There is a variation of this shot in the first of E. Robins book on one pocket.
I haven't seen the book for many years but I think it was a shot that Ed Kelly proposed. He was very good at 3C and great at one pocket. Beat me.

As far as a one pocket forum on AZ I think it would be a good thing and might get younger players to participate.

Couple thoughts. I'm opposed to any more sub-forums not just 1 pocket. I don't like segregating all of the different pool topics into different places that people don't read. Also, I'm not a one pocket player, but I read that thread out of curiosity and the OP is right about one thing that guy's posting style is really irritating and hard to read.

Can you ignore Bill?
 
Maybe he drew it wrong in the diagram. He needs much more angle to achieve that distance with the CB while sending the OB only that short distance. If, in fact, he had the angle needed to execute this shot he has succeeded in shooting a very simple and common shot played by even the most novice of 1P players. If he thinks he has done something remarkable, well, good for him, I guess. If he still claims to have played it exactly as drawn in the diagram then it's time to just ignore him because it's simply not possible.

I can ignore anyone, but more to the point, why would I want to become a member on a site when I know in advance that I will need to ignore him?

Did you read post #12? He has started 19 of the last 47 threads started there. I'd be ignoring almost half the threads there. Why would I contribute there knowing these things in advance.

Have you voiced your concerns with the mods over there?
I, for one, would welcome a 1P sub forum. But at the same time, as a sub forum it wouldn't get the views as would just posting in the main forum...

I think you and the others are correct, no separate forum needed here.

If you don't feed the squirrel it will go away. Don't open his threads. It happens here....when they get ignored, they fade away.
