One-pocket
What is one-pocket in pool?
One-pocket is a game where each player has only one of the two foot corner pockets; the first to pocket eight balls in their pocket wins. It is highly strategic, with many safeties and moves.
In more detail
Its emphasis on speed control and defense makes it a great complement to rotation games. Many 'moves' in one-pocket transfer directly to 9-ball safeties.
