This is great. The only things I might add to it, is the basic concept of 'the safest place on the table is usually near the opponent's pocket'. And maybe a word on how and why 1p players hit the break safely with inside. Even though the focus is on rules, I think it would get beginners started on the right foot, if they know those 2 things right away.

I don't see how that could apply to the shot at 10:30, unless you follow through a ridiculous amount (or even move your bridge forward) to help create a very late second hit in a way that would be considered "unsportsmanlike conduct" in any other pool game (which potentially comes with a stiffer penalty).

1P will improve ANY and ALL games you play on the pool table. It's great for opening you up to out of the box thinking on offense and defense and getting proficient at certain shots that are only normal to 1P. Your opponent's head may explode when you pull off a 1P specialty shot like it was simply a rote shot in another pool discipline.

@6:32 are those balls all in the racking area near your pockets? If so, shouldn't ball in hand be from the 'kitchen' be at the head of the table where you break from?

And if so, is it fair to say that would be a very unusual situation in One Pocket, at least for high-skill players, to have that many balls in the kitchen.

I'm confused about one simple part: If you purposefully and directly hit a ball into one of the four non-player pockets for strategic reasons, or fluke it in accidentally and it is the only ball pocketed on that shot, then the ball is spotted. But is it also a foul? Or is it just loss of shot? Also, on the break, is it required to hit the head ball on the rack? Or can you play off anywhere on the rack like in snooker?

Dr. Dave, I just really wanted to draw your attention to something here - it's not about the Rules of One Pocket per se but it is about the Rules of Push-Shots and Double-Hits. There's this really bizarre KZbin channel by the name of "Patrick Ryan" and this guy's entire channel is just videos of alleged Push-Shots and/or Double-Hits, made in top-level Snooker matches. The Rules regarding these 2 types of fouls are exactly the same for Snooker, as they are for American Pool; That's why I wanted to share this with you - I think you might get a kick out of it, since this guy is a self-proclaimed expert in this specific area of the Rules and always somehow manages to describe the supposed offences in great detail, however it seems that literally nobody agrees with him and, in fact, a top Snooker referee actually commented on one of his videos, basically calling him delusional, yet he persists. I'd just love to hear your 2 cents on the matter, assuming you have the time & interest to watch a few of his videos and read some of his desciptions! Sorry if this was too off-topic; In any case, great video! Keep it up. Edit: Here is the link to his channel, if you have a hard time finding it: www.youtube.com/@PatrickRyan147/videos

I heard @DrDaveBilliards uses quarters instead of pennies as foul markers because his videos are so money

VEOP isn’t free either: drdavebilliards.com/videos/veop/ But it might be cheaper in the long run. :)

If you try to learn all One Pocket rules at once, it seems like a lot, but the basic rules are simple: Pocket any 7 balls in your pocket and you win.

why would you have rerack if a ball is made on the break it doesn't make sense to me

It provides too much advantage if you pocket a ball in your pocket on the break and get to shoot after the break, where you might be able to pocket several (or 8) balls for the win. Regardless, the rules are the rules.

Sorry, but I don’t think it is popular or widespread enough, and I’ve never played it.
