One Pocket Sub-Forum Needed Here?

Please don't start a 1P sub forum.... we have enough idiots on here as it is .:eek:


And while I'm at it, why would you choose to play a 1 out of 10 shot, when you could put the cue in the same spot using the 11 instead....?
 
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.

Someone questioned his prowess:


One pocket Smitty said:
I don't see how you are going to make the CB go 4 rails and the 1 ball only go 1 rail and then travel 4 1/2 feet. Guess you have a stroke that is very unlike mine.--Smitty


He replied in his oh so elegant manner:

The CB went two cushions, in the diagram!

There is a "special" Carom/Balkline technique for "slowing the pace" of the OB, even with "fuller" hits and at the same time, "giving life" to the CB!

In French it's called, "le coup sec", in English it means, "a dry stroke!" Holding the cue, Very lightly and just by, "tapping the CB" without, "weight" behind the stroke! It allows the player to "deaden" the OB off the cushions, and at the same time, being able to produce EXTREME effect on the CB, thus causing it to travel, MUCH further than the OB, as in my diagram!

I don't know how to explain it MUCH better than that! Except, this stroke is, INAVALUABLE playing the "Carom" games!

This information, came out of MY Personal vault, for the, "skeptics!"

Of course the cueball actually went 4 rails, not 2 rails. Not only that but no 1Pocket player in the history of the world would shoot that shot in that spot. Just don't try to point this out to him.

Here is his shot again:

If you're taking offense to that, you certainly haven't dealt much with Dennis.

There are 100 ways to skin a cat.. and every single one of them is up for critique as to which way is the "best."
 
There are 16 object balls in the diagram.

Shoot safe!

You must have been a law student, no?

There are 2 1 balls, the one owed to the lower L) pocket is where the ball allegedly came to rest at the end of the shot. The one above the stack is where it was at the beginning of the shot.

Oops - Sorry (I had an OCD attack)!

Thanks for the info.

Onepocket.org is the place for 1P.
I'm trying to learn...the WWYD's are over my head but I have been getting valuable info from the site. Every little bit helps.

1Pocket.org. was the place for one pocket knowledge before Freddy died, now it's just a shadow of it's former self with this 3 cushion guy taking over every thread all day long.

P.S. Were you looking at older WWYD's or the newer ones?

I think we all agree that it is not only the wrong shot, if it is a shot at all, but this guy is very confused on several issues pointed out by ONB and others. However, reading this tread, this could be one of the most hillarious things ever posted:

So this shot skeptics,came from "Tinker Bell" in his personal dream world. Thanks for sharing.

Like Larry (bbb), I’m a loyal member of the 1P.org site and consider many there to be friends or acquaintances.

The site has several very knowledgeable routine posters and obviously Freddy was one of those. Freddy was very active and made no bones that 1p.org was his home room in cyberspace. With that being said, I don’t believe that his passing now means that the site lacks of any credibility. It ebbs and flows, and guys routinely take some time off from time to time.

Dustin,

This 3 cushion guy has started a thread where he knocks Ronnie Allen at every opportunity. He has taken over 1pocket.org. with his disgusting threads and he blames this one on Artie B.. I guess AB is too busy playing with his granddaughter to post any longer. How can you knock the greatest 1 pocket player ever until Efren came along? He does it with regularity.

http://www.onepocket.org/forum/showthread.php?t=9366

It's obvious to all that this 3C guy is not a very nice man and he's replying to everything 24 hours a day.

Here's another thread of his, started to champion his boy AB: http://www.onepocket.org/forum/showthread.php?t=3446

And another to discredit Ronnie Allen: http://www.onepocket.org/forum/showthread.php?t=3184

This 3C guy has a deep-seated need to be "on stage" all day and all night. No one over there can disagree with him without being called names and he thinks that nobody but Artie ever played One Pocket.

there once was a time at 1p.org ( starting before and not involving but later joined by "this 3c guy",appeared,:rolleyes:,) when many threads digressed into flame wars
which side tracked many a thread.....:frown:
it eventually got worked out......:grin:
i beleive
this too will get worked out.....:smile:
in spite of "this 3c guy" as you call him there have been many threads with great discussions, very educational and no bickering..going on concurrently.........:eek:
i dont see a need for a 1p forum here

A couple others in this thread have said this, but I'll add my vote:

Why a sub-forum? Why not just more threads about 1p right here in the main forum?
