    I don't have any experience with this personally, but a few tips for shooting one-handed pool I hear and see over and over include:

    1. No one technique is used by everyone. Everyone does it a little differently.
    2. The main two methods I see used are
      • Choking up on the cue with your shooting hand at or as close to the cue's balance point as possible.
      • Shooting hand almost at the butt end of the cue (no idea how people can do it this way, but I have see people run tables this way)
    3. Use the rail or a mechanical bridge for longer shots. No need for the shorter shots

    There are a bunch of videos on YouTube and you can study how those folks do it. Easy to find with a simple search.

    Good luck.

    I do play pool with one hand. It all started when I was getting bored playing pool by myself.

    Since I started playing one-handed pool, I've gotten real good. I have to say that I've played some guys where I played with one hand, and they played with two hands, and I ended up beating them.

    Here are a few quick tips that have helped me:

    • Use the cushion as a rest for the pool cue as much as possible.
    • Pocket edges are bit more difficult if you have to do a long shot.
    • For instance, if the cue ball is in the middle, let the pool cue rest on your shoulder.

    Check out my videos on YouTube. Just look for my user account "Danie Joubert".
