Here's a video of
Efren Reyes vs. Ronnie Alcano playing the Filipino version of 15-ball Rotation to 61 points. This is the main action game in the Philippines and there are some different rules, but I was struck by how often bank and combination shots come up that are similar to what you see in One Pocket. Could be another factor in how quickly the Filipinos adapt to One Pocket despite not playing the game much in their own country.
I can see where being able to roll up to a ball without hitting a rail as in Snooker would be a strength in playing intentional fouls at One Pocket as well.
